With Rudy here.....4th.

Will even hold top spot for a couple of weeks.

Pre game entertainment to remain disappointing/unnecessary.

Couple win kiss cam by going hammer & tongs in outer.

Cardinal Pell to be signed by Essendon as last ditch attempt at a top up player that fills a hole.

Daisy Thomas does ventriloquist act with Jeanne Pratt on his lap at the Brownlow.

Mark my words!!!!.........

#1 First 1st top zenith!

Not 'scared' of any team this year.
Every player to improve as every player improves around every player!

This side has been 4 years in the making and they're not going to bother being incremental about it - might as well just go Whammo! and *Arrive*.

Just do it!

3rd H&A
From there, anywhere.

8th after H&A for me. Followed by a good win in the first week of the finals followed by a narrow loss to one of the eventual grand finallists. Setting us up for 2017 when we'll finish top four.

Despite our wretched 2-9 finish to the season at our best we pushed the best in the losses deemed honourable.

Win some of those and we play finals last season.

I feel we finally turned the corner under Bucks last year and I expect further improvement again with finals the pass mark.

With the addition of Treloar, Howe and Greenwood who missed most of last season that's 3 senior players capable of improving the side from the get go.

Then there is the plethora of young talent some of which will be capable of taking the next step in 2016.

Adams probably leads this pack while hopefully one of the young rucks or defenders join him.

In de Goey and Moore we have two of the best young talents in the game but our expectations need to be curtailed for ones only entering there second season.

Our backline is the area of the ground I have the most concern over with a number of spots not automatically given to a player in ones mind (or at least mine).

A fit Reid would make a significant difference to our structure and fortunes.

On the plus side competition for spots will be fierce for defensive positions this season as it generally will be for the whole team.

We're due for a change of luck and I expect us to be the surprise packet of the year.

We'll finish 4th after the H&A season.

The giant is stirring.

Go Pies!

Anywhere between 3 and 13, as wont be much between a lot of sides.
As we aint good on smashing sides when we should and as an result struggle to get decent percentage, I will go with 6th.

Can make a case for anywhere between 1st and 10th.

All depends on Reid.
This year will be very similar to 2010; some familiar faces will be superseded by precocious young talent.

With a fit Reid, Goldsack , Greenwood and Cloke, emerging Moore , De Goey and the brilliance of Treloar we will be heaps better than 2015.

If Buckley shores up the leaky defence and works out a kick-out strategy that works, we can go deep into September.

My prediction is 3rd.
