The so-called preview reads more like a review from the end of last year. This is why even the so-called experts are usually off the mark with their preseason prognostications. The truth is, very few people are in a position to make an accurate assessment of where we're at right now, let alone predict where we'll finish. I'm willing to bet he's no insider and is making the standard generalisations about our list, based on commonly held opinions by fellow opposition supporters. There's enough evidence in there to suggest he has very little idea about the talent on our list, let alone the individual stages of development. A bold try, but a D- at best.
No doubt this is posted by a troll but…
I don't think he's trying to pass being the chief football writer of a major newspaper… just a fan of another team trying to place us on the ladder against their side for this year…
Do you think the 11-13 range is way off the mark?
We do have a big problem in the backline - no FB, our midfield depth is shallow, our ruck stocks were disgraceful last year, hopefully Hickey helps… Our best 2 key forwards are 30+ one a fading star with a degenerative knee, the other so slow he was in the 2's by the end of last year…
Maister, TDL, Roberton, Hickey & Lee probably aren't going to get it (top 4) done this year
