LIDS - To really stamp himself and impose himself on the game and move into the elite bracket.

I believe he can do it, as most of you do too ?

Browny after a year getting back into it become a match winner again and on several occasions.
There's a few wins right there, if he does. :thumbsup

Cogs back at full strength - History has shown it takes a year playing to get back properly, but Cogs has had a good time to get this right.

And just generally looking forward to the cubs that can take the next step - Patto Jacko Polo McGaune hopefully Moore etc

Sorry raved a bit there - Answer to q see top  :thumbsup

Other than the usual suspects, Richo, Browny, Lids and Foley, I look forward to watching how Coggs goes.

I will be most interested in Tambling, Connors, Edwards and Polak. Polak becuase it will be his second year and it will be interesting to see what expectations there are of him and if he can back up or better his 2007 form, becuase it started to wane toward the end of the season, perhaps because he had not played a full one before?

It will also be interesting to see how Terry uses Kane Johnson this year, give him more defensive stopping roles, or hand that over to Daniel Jackson and have him more as a receiver.

Simmonds will also be an interesting one. Now I am raving.

It will definately be an interesting year.

Cogs and Simmo are the kingpins i think. A fully fit C&S will improve their respective positions exponentially  :thumbsup

Edwards, Kingy and Connors to continue up  :thumbsup

Lids and Bling are intereseting. Neither have set the AFL alight but slowly and steadily they are harnessing their abilities. It just feels so much better than bursting onto the scene ala that other guy. Maybe its because you get a sense of consistency ahead i dont know, just feels like something really special is over the horizon :thumbsup

Moore. If he continues his awesome late season form over the Preseason we will benefit structurally down back. Cmon Kelvin time to provide  :thumbsup

Batman and Robin comeback  :thumbsup

Hopefully Cogs gets back to his best.

I'd like to see if Morton can live up to his supposed potential.

I'd like to see how guys like Collins and Casserley go.

Connors. If he can get fit, the Rising Star award is in the bag.

ditto  :thumbsup

Polak - whether he plays mainly forward or back next year.

Simmo - if he can get back to reproducing his 2006 form.

Cogs - If he can get back at all  :pray

Polo, Rainesy - hopefully both have learnt from this year.

Connors and Edwards. I also have a feeling about Mitch Morton.

Mainly Connors.

Connors has a power of work ahead of him to become a good player.
Let's not fall into the old trap of hyping him up when he's done nothing yet.

Ditto.

You are right though Mr Magic about Connors. Same with Edwards, both have a lot of work to do yet...

Agree but I look at him more as an exciting kid who may surprise. Certainly don't expect him to carry the team. Being young means I have lowish expectations, no hype just hoping to see him improve and live up to his potential. Have no idea what I expect from him long term, suppose we will see.  :)

From a team perspective - no more 100 point losses.

Attacking football.

16 goals a game in at least half our matches.

Individually about specific players
Tambling, Connors, Edwards, King, Thursty, McGuane, Polo. Pretty much the young kids in their 2nd and 3rd seasons who need to keep on improving if our club will get anywhere within cooee of a challenge for the flag in subsequent years.
