First coach to be sacked or quit?
Bomber Thompson lol.
Who will win more games - Melbourne, St Kilda or GWS?
Hard to split. Say GWS - a la Suns 2013.
Where will the Tigers finish?
At least 2nd week of the finals if we want to claim we have taken the next step.
I stopped reading when you had Carlton in the top 8.
Well they beat us in the finals . Never underestimate a Malthouse coached side as far as making the finals. Even when they finish ninth, they still make it .
The only ones I hesitated about were West Coast and Adelaide and whether they would improve to regain their old-school home ground advantage. Hard to argue for them when the Eagles' midfield was one of the slowest last year and Adelaide's forward line was one of the worst with no reliable forward targets. Even with Walker back, they still at best will be too one-dimensional.
Who else did they beat besides us ? They did not beat anyone except us.
they beat us twice and port twice.
lost to ess twice by less than a kick. they beat the best team outside the 8 in north. they were within 17 points of coll,geel,and hawthorn.
their biggest losses was 41 points to coll and 36 to freo.
seems they were pretty competetive in most games.
i remember well 2012 and richmond.
on adelaide
walker podsiadly, lynch who had a good season a break out season in some ways and a bloke i am impressed with in jenkins who will play the second ruck/for role, throw in betts a fit porplysia and their forward line looks as good as anyones almost.
its not the forwards who will let adelaide down if they stay healthy but a lack of midfield depth that will bite em if anything.
structurally i think them a very good side.
