It’s either going to be a hugely disappointing season for us or it’ll just click and we will go deep into Septemeber.
We’ve lacked any form of identity for years now and havn’t been tactically sound in this time.
If we can form a ‘system’ like pies, tigers etc. did have in 2018 then we have the talent to take us there.
However I just have doubts over Woosha being able to form the game plan required for success in the modern day. If it were the 90s where talent was nearly everything then we’d be top 4 certainties.

Shocks: Geelong ask for home final against
Essendon and Gil gives it to them - see below for punchability. Thousands of Essendon fans unable to source tickets to GMHBA stadium.
Gil Punchability: Unprecedented - he actually gets punched by @westozziebomber who has driven across the Nullabour only to locked out of our first finals win in years!
Essendon finish: 1st PF against the Tigers 
- but at least @westozziebomber witnesses last minute win against Crows in Adelaide in 2nd SF as Raz soccers one through with less than a minute on the clock
Crichton: Shiel - the tradition continues
Shocks: 4 AA’s - Francis, Shiel, McGrath & Stringer

I can’t predict these things but I have one exception, Gil’s punchability
Gil Punchability: Catastrophic
I find the ladder to difficult to predict. However I think we will finish 7th and just lose a Elim to a better side.
The new rules significantly advantage teams that have dominant Rucks & high quality deep midfields. A superior Ruck & midfield with very good clearance & contested ball winners will have a significant edge over there opponents.
Melb with Gawn & it’s plithora of gun contested mids like Oliver, Jones, Bradshaw, Vandenbeeg etc and Collingwood with Grundy in the Ruck and Beams, Sidebottom, De Goey, Treloar and Pendlebury are going to really kick ■■■■.
Adelaide & WC are also going to do very well. But don’t have the same Ruck quality the two have.
I don’t know how the Tigers will go. Maybe Lynch won’t actually help them that much under the new rules for 2019. They will still be very good. However perhaps not top two. But I expect in 2020 they may be the team to beat again.
Finding it hard to split the Pies & Melb.
I don’t want the Pies to win another one so selected the Dees. That Pies list though is awesome it bats very deeply in the middle and has a cracking fwd line.
Scary to think that it has added Beams.
The blues will be better than expected, Cripps minced us and will do the same to many other teams. A fast ball out of the centre for them with Gov & Curnow marking will see them win more games than without the 6x6x6 rules

If we win either ANZAC day or the Dreamtime game, we will make the final 8.
If we win both, we will make the top 4.

SMJ don’t worry Houli_Dooli was looking at the chart upside down.
Gil’s punch ability is active volcanic.
Me either but for this:
Gil, AFL, Caro, Purple and a huge conga line of suckholes (thanks Mark): A Jack Reacher special for each of them.
