It's only early but.....

Talk on the national game

Trying to remove my bias but I still think Richmond will make the eight. Bottom half of it probably.

Take out the horrendous first 10 mins vs Carlton and we win that game by 10 goals. Losing to Adelaide in Adelaide was a fate we suffered last year as well (by 12 goals no less), and most teams who travel here this year will fall as well. Not as much doom and gloom as some are suggesting here.

I thought North's list was the worst in the comp and still think they will win the spoon, despite their win on Friday.

Interestingly Hawthorn had the oldest team in the comp on the weekend and an average age 2 years older than Geelong.
I'm not quite sure they're rebuilding anymore. ;)
In all seriousness I found that stat quite surprising.

I underestimated how bad Carlton, St Kilda and the Bulldogs were going to be.

Plus, this threads all about being wrong, in time. ;)

Takeout the 11 year old Zac Guthrie and Geelongs average age would be the same as the Hawks

Don't get too excited, he's now just predicting North to finish bottom 5 instead of bottom 4 ;)

Some of you keep rating Cats.
They'll miss the 8.

Selwood might have to become the defensive mid again, can't all be tearing forward glory hunting like Patrick and Gary.

The other Selwood doesn't cut it.

Still got Harry and Duncan to come back and the best midfield that has even stepped on a footy ground.

I'm not sure why they went in without a ruckman though, Stanley and Blicavs are too handy elsewhere around the ground and they don't need a possession winning ruckman, just need someone to go up for ruck and drop back to block the opposing forwards leads.

And the other Selwood was meant to be the defensive mid

Should only have either Paddy or Gaz on the ball with the other sitting forward, I think Selwood#2 could be used to tag whoever is tagging Gaz or Paddy.

It's a bit of overkill having all 3 of them in there at the same time.

Cats get just a couple of injuries and they are goneski.
No depth at all

Yep they currently have the 2 out that they can least afford to in Taylor and Henderson.
Ablett will play no more than 12 games, looks shot already and its r2. Hes not going to get any quicker over the last 23 weeks.
Pockets and flanks offer nothing,
