My pic is 8th at best - 12-13 at worst.
Anything less than a place in the eight will mean a new coach too I think....

Spare me the BS. Answer Yes or No. |
You have my answer. |

The obvious -
Hawthorn, Port, Fremantle & Sydney
The probable -
Geelong, Richmond, Kangaroos, Eagles, Gold Coast & maybe even Adelaide.
So I guess that's a NO!
We can't ignore the fact that we've lost Maxwell, Beams, H & Ball.
Buckley will not be assessed on whether we make the 8 or not, but the team needs to show potential, any signs of progress or else he's gone. If we do then maybe we can attract a Dangerfield or Cameron this time next year and we have enough young guns to be a force again in 2-3 years time.
For now, I fear the G may be cold & lonely at times in 2015. |

Well, I think you can safely say that Hawthorn, Sydney, Geelong, Freo & Port will definitely make it. That leaves North, Richmond & Essendon as the possible sliders.
I think, given a fair run with injuries, we have those 3 covered. So, I think we can finish 6-8, which I would be very happy with at this stage of our development.

For me it really depends on how we travel with injuries, but given this thread is just asking for a yes or no I'm going to go ahead and say yes.
8th place. |

I thought the answer there was "I'm going to attempt to disrupt what had been, until that point, a fairly neutral and meaningful topic with a provocative post that is bound to get results from certain individuals"

7th to 10th, but I think we can make finals. However 2015 is not the year we will be threatening. While we will feel the loss of Beams & Lumumba, we will have Greenwood to play inside mid & we will hopefully get Reid & Brown to play more than 3 games between them & Swan playing without injury. Crisp & Varcoe will be just a bonus.
There are plenty of kids on our list who will be considerably better in a year or two. Witts, Grundy, Broomhead, Kennedy, Langdon, Scharenberg, Frost, Elliott, Freeman etc etc.
The future is still bright in my opinion. If all these players buy into the new team first & hard work ethic, then we can go far. |

Nope. We can't kick a big enough score anymore to win more games than we lose.

Based on the most recent form and current list stage of development-
There abouts.......but No.
Teams with youth can blossom at any stage however so I remain optimistic about what they can achieve, but realistic about where we are at.

Is it really necessary to be so back handed all the time?

No ,probably 9 to 12 depends on injuries.
If you dont finish top 8 do you sack your coach? Lucky your not in charge ronnie |

I think if they finish at or below 12th with the current list there will be real pressure to do so.
