None of that talk around here please, people will accuse you of elitism.

But, why? Where are they going to improve?

StK have no backbone, neither do Melbourne
I'd expect Hawks and Collingwood to push up before those two

St Kilda and Melbourne have, for far too long, been devoid of any success. The playing group and coaches would want it, they'd want to be a part of the action but they just don't seem to have the ability to find the extra little bit to push them up into the finals race.

It's like 10th is better than 12th so we're ok with it. Mediocrity has been accepted for too long, they need generational change and maybe they've been though it and are ready to take the next step.

Melbourne, everyone knows my views on them, especially their on field leaders, they don't stack up against the competitions best leaders at all.

Hawthorn will get more this year from Rioli, Birchall, Frawley, Ceglar....but I think they're going to be very reliant on a group that are another year older and closer to the end than the beginning. Need big, big years from Roughy, Gunston, Rioli, Siciliy and Impey to hit the scoreboard enough.

Collingwood? Ha! Watch them play the boundary line to a baron forward line once again. No chance to play finals.

I type whatever comes into my head.

I have a bit of a weird brain for words, I can recall them quite easily if I've read them or heard them and they're usually stuck in there forever. Almost eidetic in that regard.

But. I can't read analogue watches. Well, not quickly anyways. This is why I love watches - not only for the engineering but they've always confounded me. My mum for example has the tiniest little watch with no numbers on it but can read the time instantly. I need 10 seconds looking at my 40mm Seiko.

Same with simple mental arithmetic. I'm good with complicated numbers but ask me to add up a darts game? Can't do it.

A few less injuries would be helpful. Not too mention a decent run from the umps ;)


Good one. Free kick and 50 metres Hawthorn

I have tipped the Hawks up much higher but am worried about the loss of Vickery.

Ha ha ha. He was as useless as tits on a bull at Hawthorn. Probably one of their worst decisions in drafting a player to the club.
