2023 Predictions

[Spargo]

503 left in the original SEN knockout, they have removed the West Coast match as an option, should make things interesting, im going the Crows this week.

Just another reason to despise them…

473 left, taking Pies this week, lots of tricky games that are 50/50, not even confident with Pies, Freo play the MCG ok.

What about your selection?

[DOC]

Ross Lyon will improve Saint Kilda.

This has happened and despite an injury horror run.

Ross Lyon will improve Saint Kilda.

This has happened and despite an injury horror run.

surely in the discussion of coach of the year

Yes but I reckon Kingsley has done a fantastic job with GWS.

I don't think you're far away from my estimations there AE. Scott I'd have higher than an F (E?), Simpson a C-, Bevo a C (expected them to only just scrape into finals anyway, so my expectations weren't that high). Others, spot on.

[DOC]

I agree with the majority. Think the Bulldogs have had a bad injury run.

We could have gone gone back to back and Armchair Farqhuit would still have had a crack at the Cats. Not sure how you are supposed to win matches with half the team in the medicos. One of the strengths of 22 is that we could manage our old list. We couldn't do that this year and we ran out of gas. No pass for Scotty but at least a D. If anyone deserves an F at Catland it's probably those in charge of the physical preparation. The management of Cam Guthrie in particular was very poor. Good AF would be handing out F's to the boot studders and the fellows in the hardhats throwing the ball back. Not too sure what the Catters have done to hurt him but we sure do live rent free in that empty head of his.

QF1: *GEELONG* v Melbourne

Prior to doing the selections I thought Melbourne would drop, Carlton and Port would rise and Essendon, Hawks and North would be bottom 4. I thought St Kilda would rise, but obviously that didn't compute when I saw who they were playing ;-)

I got most wrong, but funnily enough I picked Carlton's position correctly and got most highlighted above, close!
