Your real early season expectations

[Jacks Fur Coat]

Of course we want 7-0 but realistically you see 6-1 or 5-2



And you see the same as me.
Souths maybe a few (2) others. totaling say 3, meaning 4-3.


Look, I am just throwing it out there as per the OP. Some of those teams will have our game marked from now and might knock us off, but I reckon they lose the following week.

Thats a good point, Skeez...one to factor in for tip comps. Like horses being "Winxed" teams will be "Easts'd"!

In the broader sense opposing teams have ALWAYS revved up a notch against us, so we are used to it.

Win as many as we can early on to take the pressure off the back end of the season where its going to be a very tight race for the top 1 through 6 spots. Do the hard yards early IMO.

Souffs looked good in their grand final, I must admit. Bennett will have Burgearse on short leash. Choir boy stuff for first few rounds

i simply expect to see latrell run rings around Inglarse. We have too much firepower across park. Whilst their grubs are elbowing creighton and taking our kickers out late, we’ll create opportunities elsewhere

souffs defense was atrocious. If our fitness is good, there is no reason why we won't flog them, round 2 worrys me more.

I expect us to win at least 18 games this year and lose no more than 6. The team is full of quality and many of them are at the peak of their careers. We have great coaching and great onfield leadership. The factors that may influence this are ofcourse injury, and how we handle SOO when we will be without up to 6 players for 3 games, although we may get a bye near one origin game. Physically we have all the tools to repeat, it will come down to how mentally tough we are and how much we want it.

The Chooks will go through undefeated but they will still sack Robbo & he will be replaced by Jim Dymock.

What are the odds?

[The Skeez]

7. We are a better side than all the rest. But realistically we will most likely lose one or two.

Thought I would revisit this thread for all the people that had a crack at the form. I was way off.
Well done to 13 for pretty much picking it.
