TOPIC:

On paper they look to be some decent additions and one of our better recruiting periods from memory. We are coming from a fair way back compared to some other clubs who have been actively recruiting players as well.

Every year we say we’ll improve. So until it happens not much point in saying we’ll jump up and be on the verge of finals or just sneak in.

We definitely will improve by quite a margin, I don’t think you can say that about several other clubs that have suffered a lot of losses and maybe only replaced or partly replaced what they lost.

Claremont have suffered significant losses yet most tip them to be top three even premiers. If Coen Livingstone didn’t get injured late in the season I think we win the colts premiership. I expect a few of those lads to step up.

This is good, real good. Most tipping my boys to finish lowly which almost every time we smash it:)

May update closer to the start of the season if any more recruiting is done. If we lose Clarke and don’t replace him with a quality ruck we will be farked and finish somewhere in the bottom 5

Some nice ins for EF, Subi, Claremont and possibly Perth and Swans. Hard to tell with the Perth and Swan's ins. Clark and Dixon are big losses. Claremont have lost some young midfield power. I tipped the Sharks last year and I rate Hagan, so i think i'll tip them again. I liked the look of the young southerners last year so will tip them to rise.

Like Whinnen, I'm surprised that many on here have Joondy dropping away. They finished last season extremely well, will be over their traditional post Flag slump and will be in the fight for finals imho.
I hope I'm completely wrong.

Tigers lost some significant players, not sure why so many are tipping us at the pointy end. I'm hoping to make the finals myself and go from there.
