We'll be better than last year

[yellowandback]

I really think we will surprise

If that means improve, you've floored me!!!!!
No expectations will go into the season with eyes wide open or eyes wired shut.
Most clubs have a case at this time of year, remains to be seen if our players are ready to convert their potential.....

I do too, but if we get injuries we're rooted. We don't have the depth to cover them yet.

If...

Deledio steps it up to be elite.
Riewoldt and Morton get 90-100 goals between them.
The midfield tightens up and is more defensive;
then the defence will be better.
We're not going to be (we shouldn't be  ) predictable Richmond anymore, a new game plan will surprise teams.

i'm very confident we will improve on LY,  in R1 we'll have Foley, Cotch and Collins into the midfield,  all of which missed 2H of 09 season and that's notwithstanding the impact of a single recruit or a NEW coach... 

All doubtful except for Collins.

All 3 will be there destroying Carlton Round 1

Why?  We're not going to contend for a flag this year, so why risk good players like Foley and Cotchin?  Give them as much time as they need.  We don't need to be rushing them in for round 1.

geez, how much time do they need to recuperate, they've been convalessing since June 2009

We will finish 7th or 8th.
Improve out of sight

In short - we're fahked!

You're post, as usual, gave me a good laugh!
I dont think we look at wins as the sole means of judging improvements! No blow outs(10 goals plus), improvement in numbers from the younger blokes, a never say die attitude etc. should be the KPI for this year!

Oh why don't we just play the Coburg players and rest our best 25 and prepare for 2015.  . If they are ready in 2 months then we are going to play them in the all important Round 1 game which we are a good chance of winning.

You don't have very good reading comprehension, MT.  I never said that if they were ready, they shouldn't be played.  Read the bolded bits again.

Oh, I'm well aware that we'll improve immensely.  It's just very uncharactaristic of you to say this.  I was predicting about 10th or 11th for us.

Not me Jack, not me.  I've been spruiking the 'hidden' improvement for a fair while now.
