8-10. Our forward line has me very worried. No tippa ( for who knows how long)leaves a huge gap
Our midfield and defence looks strong.
Well finish top 6.
We’ll make a prelim, but we’ll lose it by a lot.

We could not have a much tougher opening 3 rounds with the Cats, Lions and Demons- 1 win would be a reasonable outcome - 2 wins HUGE and in the unlikely event that we win all 3 then the lid would be well and truly off…!!
We have most of the pieces of the puzzle there to be a good team - even a top 4 team - it’s just the forward line that worries me but if Tippa can get back to playing good footy but April/May then all of a sudden our forward line looks a whole lot better and we may well surprise a few few teams and win a final or 2…

Apparently Mick Malthouse has written an article saying we can win the flag. Personally I don’t believe we can but I’d like to read his rationale.

Win 1 out of first 3 will be a success. Winning 2 out of 3 will be sensational. Winning all 3 will be unbelievable - but I would accept it - joyfully!!!
Id be pretty staggered if we were 0-3.
Not disasterous given all 3 are Top 6 teams from last season.
We are good enough to pinch 1 or 2 of those games though.
9th / 7th
Lawyers getting involved now

I think we’re a good chance in all of them. They came back later like the lazy, finals winning tw@ts that they are so logically they should all be 6 goal wins.
Apart from Melbourne, which will be 10.
You heard it here first.
Wobble.

6th - 8th and win a final.
There’s certainly a silly chance we surprise and are the bolter into top 4 this season, but if you are “expecting” it you need your head read.

That would get us to 6th or so. I was being very conservative with my picks and put all 50/50 games as losses.
This would be my bare minimum.

Now you’ve done it. I am going to bookmark this and ridicule you for each incorrect prediction.

Realistically, we are a top 6 chance, but should be aiming higher, top 4 is not out of the question. We should win 2 of the first 3 games.
The only real hole in the list is a lack of a quality small forward role, vacated by Tippa. While there are players who can replace him, none of them are of the same quality.
FOLD
…oh wait… no

Earlier in this Thread in response to the suggestion that some supporters needed “to get their heads read”, I inadvertently posted a general Phrenology (the “science” of reading heads) diagram.
My apologies.
Here is the specific* Blitzer Phrenology Diagram.
- please note this is a general indication. In some Blitzers various sections, such as Injury Concerns, BBMs, or even Grammatical Errors, may have grown to outsize proportions, placing pressure on other areas of the Blitz brain.
