I often think Kingy states the bloody obvious.
"So an so looks fit"
"Someone looks stronger"

But I want to believe him so much. I like the make up of this team

SEN are working through their 2024 ladder predictions, and we are again being predicted to finish bottom six by commentators.



Interestingly, the H-S experts have all selected us to finish outside the top 8 and miss finals in 2024 (except Robbo).
I suppose it is not so much an indicator of our players, but more about our opposition.

Do any posters on here know if The Age panel did predictors for the 2024 season?

Predictions mean SFA. I think it suits our team to be underrated.

We could finish anywhere from 5th to 15th. I think we’ll finish around 10th. I hope I’m wrong and we finish top 4.

Our good friend Kingy going in to bat for us again. Tipping we’re a club that could push into the top 4. Kano disagrees.

I’d rather them pick us down there. Give us reason to prove ‘em all wrong.

He does talk to the supporters who watch training too. I can vouch for that.

I reckon a 13th place finish (as predicted) is a bit ridiculous though.

Was that Kane Cornes?

I’m still worried about our midfield.

Don't 'worry', we are on a build and an exciting one at that. For those who saw the recent David King and Kane Cornes discussion/argument will know Cornes has really lost the plot regarding St Kilda, I'm sure he actually pissed himself when King suggested St Kilda will make the eight and might sneak into the top four.

So and so says a good thing about stk
We love him

Someone else says a critical thing about stk
We hate him

Funny thing is

If Cornes praised Ross or one of the players next week - he’d be an astute judge

Why?

That’s how it works on here

David King was enemy number 1

Praises StK and all of a sudden he is a good judge?!

I’ll let you in on something

He is still the same person

Just because someone is a tedious verbose parasite doesn't mean everything s/he says is always incorrect.

I can't take anything he says seriously after the whole Gresham/Carlisle basket case. "If they wanted Gresham so badly they should have just taken him at 5. Carlisle will never play a game for St Kilda"

He could not comprehend that it was a good outcome to get Carlisle plus Gresham with pick 18 instead of just taking Gresham with 5. Not an intelligent fellow

No, it was Jenkins who said we'd finish 13th.

Cornes said we would win under 11.5 matches in 2024.

Kingy disagreed - he believes we will improve and win 14 or 15 matches in 2024.

Regarding our midfield, Cornes also said that North Melbourne had ten players like Marcus Windhager already on their list. :shock: Kingy just shook his head at that one.

On balance, I think we are clearly better than these teams atm:

Essendon
Fremantle
Geelong (at Docklands only)
Gold Coast (in Vic)
Hawks
North
Richmond
Swans
The Bulldogs
The Eagles

And that's being realistic/conservative. Based on our 2024 fixture, this gives us 13 wins again in 2024. I reckon that's the benchmark.

Win 60% of the games that are close at 3/4 time.
