One prediction each.

[Otiman]

Our forward line becomes more unpredictable and productive, with six players given equal status and being fully enabled to play their role and coordinate their efforts ... but our side falls back to being too King focussed, one-dimensional and easy to defend against, after the great man returns.

Can I call this prediction "We win more games without King than with him" and claim it for my own?

Since the start of 2020, we have won every game that Max has not played.

Paton out of best 23

[Bruce G McAbee]

We will struggle in the first half of the year but will finish strongly as the players learn how to implement Ross's game plan and our list hopefully gets healthier.

[Yorkeys]

More than one of these will lose/leave their jobs:
Simpson
Nicks
Hinkley
Scott
Beverage

[BadRossco]

Likely to finish 13th but possibly as low as 16th the injury curse seems to have struck early and with our luck will probably continue

If Gold Coast tumble down the ladder there may be one more. Can’t see either of the Scott boys facing the firing squad.

Clarkson suspended from AFL for 18 months following racism report.

[King Max]

A prankster brings pretzels into the clubrooms after a game...which we win

Cameras pan to BJ who has a huge smile on his face

Goddard knocked a tray of lollies off a table at 1/2 time.
Not pretzels

Definitely pretzels!

[Munga]

Saints finish top 4 in points against

Looking pretty good

I predict that I'm going to enjoy the ride this year much more than I expected

I think we can both claim this prediction now.

Without rubbing salt in the wound.

Stats with King - 7 games, 3 wins, 4 losses
Stats without King - 9 games, 6 wins, 3 losses

[Scollop]

A bit premature don't you think?

‘Predictions’ and results usually get assessed at the end of home and away

The season isn’t over for the team…like it is for Max

[Otiman]

Unless Max makes a miraculous recovery, we won't win any more games with him in the side.

Ok. I see. Your prediction has come good and samoht’s is yet to play out

[Otiman]

I guess it remains to be seen if we can have a more efficient forward structure without Max, but what I saw of a forward line with King as the focal point, samoht's point is valid.

Not necessarily. King was showing good signs and you have to factor in that most players who return after long term injuries can take up to 12 months or so to get back to their best form.

By the way, your prediction only came good because of default…and not because the theory was fully tested for the whole year
