We would need the near perfect season to finish 5th
I see us in the 7 to 11 range, things go well for us with some young legs with speed and we actually try to win games not save them and we sneak in 7th or 8th. Or we stick to the same old defensive mind set which hasn't worked for us and we'll be flat track bullies at home and finish 10th or 11th.

They have an outstanding group of small forwards in Fantasia, Tippingwitu and Smith. Stringer has apparently put in more pre-season minutes at Windy Hill than any other Bomber and sounds as though he has really set himself for a big year. Stewart is a decent focal point (although Hooker and/or Hurley could run through there too) and Daniher has the genuine potential to be Buddyesque at some point in his career.
Shiel helps bolster a midfield that needed, but added with younger players' development they look stronger there than in 2018. The names down back look sound enough and I expect McGrath to improve again and players like him and Saad give them great rebound. Hope they can stay relatively healthy, because if they do the Bombers will quite possibly be the most exciting side to watch this season.

Agreed, hopefully they remember Hooker is a defender and they play him there, his lack of forward nous is clear and why they keep trying him up there is impossible to fathom.

We got nearly 130 games and a B&F out of Goddard. Lovett never played a game for the Saints and Carlisle is cooked. Think we are just infront especially if Francis kicks on this year
