hungry for a premiership wrote:I know it's all too easy to go all gaga over a new coach, but I was mighty impressed with Richo's message, and I find myself being alot more optimistic about next year....When the fixture was first released, I struggled to find 5 wins there for us. But now, for some reason, I'm seeing around 7-10 wins for the taking....
I wanted Williams to be the coach, because I'd never even seen Alan Richardson. Now that I've seen him, I'm glad we went that way.
I wanted Williams too.
Who do you see us beating now that you didn't see us beating before the appointment?
I think we will win the first two games at Etihad against Melbourne and the Giants. I also have us beating the Gold Coast Suns at Etihad. The possibles I have as Adelaide at Etihad, Brisbane at Wellington, the Bulldogs and West Coast at Etihad. Can't see us winning interstate at all, or at the G, or Geelong.
Can't beat the Dees at Etihad or GC at Etihad and reckon we'll still win five?!? If we don't win those two SP we won't win five, no chance.
Remember the Dees are shockers at Etihad and haven't beaten us anywhere since 006 elim final. Gold Coast, meh, one man team. Up there though they will do us.
Touch wood on injuries, I think we will start the season strongly.
Having Gilbert and Fisher back fit in the backline will make a big difference, as will have 2 tall key position defenders.
Dal is a loss, but Schnieder is a major plus.
Our Round 1/2 looks pretty good with guys like Gwilt, Billings, Saunders all possibly not making it. We are a bit light in the midfield, and that will see us struggle against the better teams. However our structure looks way, way better than last 2013.
