I told a carlton mate of mine that we would finish 6th. He is still laughing

[SAINT-LEE]

Geelong drop out.

yes

you'd hustle good odds on that scenario occuring
one thinks

hmmmmm

maybe

via a big hangover

buuuuut , not for my last dollar


why Beno

what makes ya think thats a possibility

It's not impossible...but improbable.

They've worked their asses off on culture building.
They've worked their asses off marketing and building a brand.
They've consistently recruited and traded like clever bastards.

I don't think we will ever see a significant decline until coach & management leave en masse....which I can't see myself.

But purely on the list...they look like a top 8 team. Maybe not #1 but who knows?

I listened to Steve Hocking in a recent interview describe the secret to their SUSTAINED success, it didnt exactly sound like a complex system of formulae and algorithms expertly number crunched by scientists, so I was able to understand what he was saying somewhat. Without revealing the 11 secret herbs and spices he said they essentially do the opposite of what the perennial bottom 8 sides do....that's us.

True story.

But we have now found our secret herb N spice.

[shanegrambeau]

Who cares about being clever or right....let's everyone just give it the gut feel guess and post it! Did ya see my list? Had to get 113% wanker to create it...and yes that's my no thinking ( yep happens a lot lol) answer from me gut...my testes tried to tell my brain " put Saints in #1".... stupid testacles always getting a brother into trouble.

I love it. It's cool to see the diverse thinking.

Gold!

Gold!

Gold!

Australia gold!

Bravo.

The great Shane Grambeau salutes with all due gravity and dignity.

Being a fan is fun, but it is also a damnation- we have no choice - for better or worse, we are tattooed to the bone.

I love Vortex and Sunny Earnest. Where is he? I am full of love. It’s the summer of love 1967 San Francisco, 1989 Manchester, 2022/3 St Kilda (except some dodgy cricket nets)

And it’s 5 degrees where I am tonight..nevermind.

The Zeppelin floats up high, lifted by the halo of the Saint….and our Saintly hearts!

Also I didn't have a gut feel on them
Pies I'd guess 6-8.

[D.B.Cooper]

Carlton, St Kilda and Adelaide into the 8.

Richmond, Bulldogs and Geelong drop out.

Wow, that was a very good prediction.
I had Carlton & GWS missing finals
But picked Brisbane as premier.

Well done Beno.

You can bake that bean!

Perhaps there should be a sticky thread entitled, ‘Told You So’ where we get to brag about our foresights. !

[Otiman]

Plenty of gems in this thread.

[The Fireman]

top 4

[Scollop]

Carlton, St Kilda and Adelaide into the 8.

Richmond, Bulldogs and Geelong drop out.

Well done Beno

Not only on predicting the teams to miss, but also the teams to make it. Adelaide were robbed twice by the wrong call by umpires (once against Collingwood in the dying seconds, and once late in the year with the wrong call by the goal umpire against Sydney),

Personally, I had Richmond and Geelong missing the top 8. I was confident on those after about round 7/8, but your prediction from late last year was outstanding.

Interesting also, that all 3 clubs (Richmond, Bulldogs and Geelong) have already tasted success. Goes to show that teams (and individual players) who have climbed the mountain and already have premiership medals don’t always have the same drive and hunger as others.

So…looking at this week…we have 4 teams hungry for a flag. There’s quite a few players who have actually played in a Grand Final - GWS and Collingwood in 2018 and 2019. There’s only 2 players, that I know of who have been premiership players (Sidebottom and Pendlebury from 2010)…sorry …not a good memory for us

For all 4 head coaches in 2023, it will be the first time they’re coaching in a Grand Final. Fagan is the most experienced of the senior coaches. I think Brisbane will go on and win the flag this year

Its a link to a song about there never being a Saint Kilda. Hence, I was offering a hilarious confirmation of your comment that there's no Saint Kilda.


Also, I know youre aware that virus protection helps...but some are so superior only actual targeted intrusions by a proper hacker will get you.

With a premium virus protection you will eliminate 99.9% of issues opening links that may contain virus, trojans, keystrokers, etc

Ive used many and have found Bitdefender Total Security best ( in my price range). We have a family plan with 15 devices active & 9 users. Not one of us ever have had any issues for 7 years.

I used Vipre Black for 5 yrs but its a secure software and purchased with security clearance I no longer have, the standard Vipre is quite good but not as good as Bitdefender. Vipre Black was very expensive but soooo insanely good.

Highly recommend if you can get access invite & spending $129 a month is ok
