2023 Predictions

[Lightning McQueen]

Touk Miller at 12's seems a good risk to take for the Brownlow, the dude looks like an animated character atm, he gave it a fair shake last year.

I jumped on at 16s on Melbourne Cup Day after a decent win.

Hopefully they can win enough games

Good luck mate, he's that good he could poll 3 in a 10 goal loss.

Yeah, Nahhhh he ain't that good.

Ross Lyon will improve Saint Kilda.

[Booney]

Ross Lyon will improve Saint Kilda.

Is he a magician?

[Dutchy]

Ross Lyon will improve Saint Kilda.

If their previous coach was poor then I would agree, but I don't think there is much of a gap between Ratten and Lyon

MARK ROBINSON'S PROJECTED 2023 LADDER
1. Geelong
Have the talent and the gameplan - all they need is hunger and the September Gods smiling on them at the end of the year.

2. Brisbane
Two words. No excuses.

3. Melbourne
They look locked and loaded and could easily do it. ‘Gawndy’ will be fascinating.

4. Collingwood
Please coach, more blitzkrieg footy. And with the same luck they’ll better their preliminary final finish from 2022.

5. Richmond
A lot of ‘ifs’ about the Tigers. If the recruits fire, if Dusty is back and if the old boys can last the season.

6. Sydney
Couldn’t leave them out of the eight but not sure where they’ll finish. Could they be scarred?

7. Western Bulldogs
Could win it all and I’ve got them seventh - that’s how tight 2023 will be.

8. Fremantle
Won a final last year after a long build, which started with Ross Lyon, my darkhorse for the top four.

9. Carlton
Not as bullish as others on the Blues but might be wrong. Can they meet their expectations?

10. Port Adelaide
Everyone is looking at Kenny and his team - what are they going to deliver?

11. Gold Coast
Ben King could be the recruit of the year and like the Crows no more excuses for the Suns.

12. Adelaide
It’s time Adelaide, the build nears completion so results are expected.

13. Essendon
Brad Scott says they will defend but the proof will be in the pudding.

14. St Kilda
Injury wrecked before the start will make it very difficult in Ross Lyon’s first season.

15. GWS
The hardest team to gauge. Kelly, Whitfield, Coniglio could have a lease of life.

16. North Melbourne
There’s excitement around North Melbourne but that doesn’t equate to wins.

17. West Coast
Vying for the spoon but they say they’re fitter.

18. Hawthorn
Will be a long season for the youngsters. No Mitch Lewis for a while hurts.

Splinters Robbo

Same top 8 teams as last season and Carlton 9th again

I don't think the top 8 has remained unchanged from one year to the next.

Splinters Robbo

I don't think the top 8 has remained unchanged from one year to the next.

There was a good article on fox footy social media (hard to believe I know) which broke down the last 20-30 years of changes in the top eight and four.

It basically said there are two main rules you can go by. The average number of changes is three (2. form one year to the next in the top eight and rule 2, one team that misses the finals will make the top four the next year.

Max Laughton who wrote the article predicts it will be:

Geelong
Brisbane
Melbourne
Carlton

Richmond
Sydney
Port
Freo

Collingwood
Footscray
Gold Coast
Adelaide
Saints
West Coast
GWS
Essendon
North
Hawthorn

Melbourne
Bullies
Geelong

Does JHF get 5 or more Brownlow votes this season?

[whufc]

Does JHF get 5 or more Brownlow votes this season?

No...

He has a better year than last year; shows more glimpses of the player he could be but also has periods of the season interrupted by injury.

[carey]

Does JHF get 5 or more Brownlow votes this season?

Yes.

[gadj1976]

Who kicks more goals this season

Todd Marshall or Darcy Fogarty?

Marshall 50+

Fogarty 60+

Fogarty would win the Coleman if those were correct. But he aint winning the Coleman. More like 25 - 30 for him.

[tigerpie]

Fair to say there's no Nostradamus's so far.
Collingwood out of the blocks and JHF killing it.
