I don’t get this at all. If I thought it was a horrible 22, I’d say so - trust me.
Our best team on the park will win more games than you think. Your burn towards North affects what you post most of the time in this thread.

You guys laughed at me when I said north will be bottom four last year so I don’t think I’m too far off the mark.

The teams below you - Carlton Gold Coast and Brisbane - I reckon are a year further into the rebuild than north so I think there is a bit more upside.

Of the teams above you - freo are cooked but Collingwood hawthorn st Kilda and the dogs are well ahead of this list.


So if you finish higher than 14th I’ll be mighty surprised - if you think you will, who will be below you?

Gold Coast and Brisbane are unknowns with their lists and are the only two teams that could finish below north imo (maybe throw freo in there too if they decide to stop playing their oldies)

You are always more than competitive. Scott is a decent coach for that.

But in terms of class players - maybe along with Carlton and freo as the worst in the league imo.

How many class players do you need?
Richmond IMO have only 3 - Martin, Cotchin & Rance.

GC and Carlton maybe. If you don't get your annual eight points against Melbourne you'll be spooning up.
