Anyone?

Didnt we make the 8 with a not dissimilar list in 2015.
I dont know if enough has changed compared to other clubs, but id say scraping into the 8 down to 17th would be our range.
So if everything goes our way id say yes but unlikely. I lean toward a bottom 4 finish.
-
13th-16th
-
Can we? Yep
Will we? Who knows.
-
Our back line has to find something for us to make the 8. Caddy will help the forwards. Losing TV won't make a jot of difference. Prestia will boost the mids but how our backs will go relying on Astbury? Maybe Grimes will improve again.
-
Oh and our game plan has to change to move the ball faster or player improvements are all moot.

Our game plan will change don't worry about that :thumbsup
I am very exited to see these change and with the new assistant coaches and some new players with positive attitudes, the club is feeling good.
We could make the 8 if things go right - lets see...

Can you elaborate on that at all? Have you it heard from a good source? Or just wishful thinking?
-
Will make top 4
-
To answer the question i think you need to consider who we could beat,
IMO all I can see us beating is
Brisbane, Coll and Carlton ergo 14-15 will be our position

A very good source. Can't elaborate that much but Caracella has been the best recruit after last years disaster and is having a massive impact at the club.

Ok, thanks.
Fingers crossed.

Changing the game plan would appear to be an obvious change - that would be hilarious if they dished up that crap 2 years running.
The fact they've admitted that rubbish was a game plan is staggering in and of itself.

Like Ramsays Kitchen Nightmares, give it time and Chef Hardwick will revert back to the old menu.

Now theres a tv program,
Xxxxx Coaching Nightmares...who would run it?
Leigh Matthews Coaching Nightmares?
Or would we need some overseas talent?
Would love to see RFC publicly dissected

This ^^. We are our own worst enemy, confidence and belief will play a big part this year. If they forget the crap of the past, with the new players and hopefully improvement with the current group, we could make it as high as 4th IMHO or as low as 14th if the wheels fall off early and the belief fades away again with the player group.

No - but we'll definitely shape it.... :gotigers
-
We won't make the eight.
Simply not enough quality bookends. Midfield depth also questionable. Too many peahearts and crap tackling.
-
If I may.
Why is it we only ask if this team can make the eight ?
That in itself is an admission of poo.

Well, if we would ask anything more then it would be a tantamount to a troll...

It's funny, at the start of 2016 we were being heavily backed to finish top 4.
Here we are 12 months later with basically the same list minus Chappy, Ty & Lids but added Caddy Prestia Nank and we are now a bottom 4 side?
I think we might surprise and think we never got over that loss to Collingwood in round 2. I know I didn't.

Hampson not manning up IIRC. Or was it a tap to collingwoods advantage 10m out?
-
we beat carlton woods in first 2 then were a massive chance drop one of them then we will struggle as both those 2 teams are poo....
for us to jump in the 8 teams will have to drop out I can see North gone but not sure who else....
-
If there is an A380 incident with the following teams on board we will make the 8 and have a chance at top 4
GWS
SYD
NTH
HAW
WCE
FREO
ADE
ESS... yes ESS

Refer to Hampsons highlight page and bump it while you're at it, it's due. Unfortunately I cancelled my AFL subscription so no longer have access to match replays and can no longer update with GIFs :(. Maybe when the season starts...

That's right thanks guys, can't wait to this year for more highlights from the ruckman of the century

No.
Especially if we are thinking players like Batch, Grigg, Houli, Hampson, Hunt and Bellis are going to improve us.
All those players unfortunately will probably play round 1 and all of those players wouldn't get a game in a decent side like Hawthorn.
We need to player players that can "potentially" improve us in the long run. I don't even care if we don't make the finals this year as long as we are playing players that can improve and take us to the next level.
Playing Grigg and Houli might win you an extra game or 2 but they aren't taking us anywhere.
Like it or not we are in a mini rebuild to try and replace these guys.

Sure but the same must be said of Gale, O'Neil, Hardwick, Hartley .............
They're one and the same - cancer
-
Going by last year's stats, not playing Houli will win us extra games...
