2017/2018 Off Season Thread

Can't see anything to give the Pies hope for 2018.

If there was silverware for the worst trade of 2017 then you'd win that.

Agree - ninth to twelfth again

Personally think lower than twelfth.

Well can see them getting ahead of Eagles and perhaps Saints, so I'll stick with my 9-12

my feeling is for pies to continue downward.  so <=12th.    brisbane, north, woods and one of hawks/ carlton to make up bottom 4

Suns?

[Trindacut]

Reckon Hawks, Carlton and Suns can all improve this year. Wouldn't be at all surprised to see Collingwood, hamstrung by it's past bad trades, to slip even lower under Buckly, who continues to dissapoint.

Don't forget, Collingwood have the best spin doctors in the  AFL. The reality about Collingwood is that they are probably a very poor side with little upside.

We also have very hard draw with most finalists in first eight games

All I have read is that the Pies have the easiest draw of all teams ?

[quinny88]

Yeah champion data ranked it the easiest draw in the league.

I don't buy into that "easy draw/hard draw" stuff anyway. No one knows who will be easy or hard to beat next season

Suns?

GL for no valid reason,  I feel Suns will around 10-12.   GAJ leaving, Dew and Weller arriving will see improvement in mental outlook that will translate into onground performance.   Expect to see some of the younger players grow as well.     Of course personal bias comes into it and it is just good fun to take the mickey out of Woods supporters where it feels like stealing candy from a baby if you pick on Suns.
