I'll go first

1. I don't expect us to beat Essendon* in the NAB Cup. They are ahead of us in terms of preparation, and Sheedy has the Bummers all revved up to try and show something this year. The NAB Cup game will be about giving a taste of senior action to Gibbs, Grigg, and maybe Edwards, as well as bringing Saddington into the game for a run

2. I think we'll finish 14th. Last year I tipped us for the spoon, so I am a lot more upbeat this year. We'll have about seven wins, and these chat rooms will be awash with tanking discussions, because most of these wins will occur after round 12. We'll finish ahead of North Melbourne and one other - maybe Essendon*, depending on injuries.

3. Most improved player - I always think greatest improvement comes from those who have debuted the season before. That makes it a choice out of Murphy, Kennedy, Bower, Blackwell, O'Hailpin, and a few others I've probably forgotten. I think big Josh Kennedy will be the most improved now that his shoulder is right and he has a pretty full pre-season behind him

4. Best and Fairest - Nick Stevens. Injury free, and will start to show the doubters that he is a class act.

5. Shaun Grigg. The foot skills he has are almost unique in our side, and as a result he will be given more opportunity than others on the list such as Anderson and Benjamin. I suspect he is the type of linkman who could be very valuable on a half forward flank for us.

6. Luke Blackwell. I hope Adam Hartlett also starts to make positive strides this year. Raso probably needs a year in the Bullants, and we'll have to see what role Pagan has planned for JR

7. Bullants should do well. But I don't get a chance to see them, so don't want to say too much. It should be a young and promising side though.

8. Jake Edwards. This kid sounds like he could be an awesome footballer. I hope he gets a chance to shine this year. I remember his granddad saying that out of the long list of family league footballers that Jake was the very best!

9. I think we have a real chance to knock off Adelaide. Their side is ageing, and without any pressure on us if we play some free-flowing football I think they are the sort of side we can trouble

1 - 2nd round
2 - 14th, 7 wins

4 - AWWWWW STEVENS.....
5 - Grigg, given that most people here weren't too pleased when we got him. Austin next
6 - Blackwell
7 - Semi Finals
8 - GIBBS
9 - Rounds 1-22 and the finals. Being realistic, We're always a good chance to knock off Collingwood, Essendon* and Richmond.

On my prediction...which is an exact science...we wil:

PORT ADELAIDE
ST KILDA
WEST COAST
FREMANTLE
SYDNEY


ON OUR DAY, WE CAN BEAT:

GEELONG
W BULLDOGS
MELBOURNE

AND WE SHOULD BEAT:

Essendon*
COLLINGWOOD
HAWTHORN
KANGAROOS
BRISBANE
RICHMOND

So we might win up to 12 games...on that theory.

But in realtiy: 7-8 games
