Not one to pump my own tyres up to often, but as the link says in reference to Travis Boak "we can look back and ponder." Well I'm very happy with my prediction of a 106 average and in the end he churned out an average of 106.6. The Torquay boy did me proud haha.

WOW what a great prediction! You are a genius for picking Boak's breakout!

You predicted

101 for Watts
113 for Shuey
87 for NRoo
97 for Wallis
112 for Deledio
104 for Gaff
88 for Cooney
91 for Trengove

I guess you were bound to get one right eventually.

hahah, nice mate  :P
Watts, Gaff, Shuey, Riewoldt, I got them wrong for sure. Deledio still had a quality year, Wallis didn't get much opportunity and was taken over by a couple of others, Cooney was right lol....many wrote him off so I'll take that and Trengove...who could've for seen Melbourne's year.
As I said, not often pumping up my own tyres, but we were always going to look back and just bringing it to light. Rather selective with your picking of my profiles too...

Also like to point out, I could make predictions right now.... Pendles, Ablett, Selwood, Swan and Griffen to all have ripping years and average 110+ but would that really say I know anything? No, there obvious. Predictions are all about looking at the crystal ball and predicting something. You will get a few wrong, I also (between FF and SCHQ) predicted Ben Cunnington, Jack Ziebell, Dyson Heppell, Allen Christensen, Tom Rockliff and Daniel Hannebery to all have much improved/great years. While of the draftees - Matt Jones was a great prediction, Oli Wines, Lachie Whitfield were all very accurate "prediction" wise. But cheers for the feedback and can't wait for more player profile for SC 2014!

My Chumps

Hahaha, I still think it's impressive mate :P

Especially because of everyone else telling you it was a terrible prediction.

Holz

might just want to add, i targeted him in the worlds for this reason. I wasnt gutsy enough to pick him in SC but took the punt in the worlds.

shorty3264

haha thanks chumps  :D

Holz, you finished third, there is no doubting your knowledge haha.

Nice work shorty, I took the punt on Boak in DT but not SC.

Boaky is a beast. I picked up JPK in 2012. Can brag about that pickup.  8)
