Predictions 13-4 can be read and ridiculed here, here, here, here and here.
Now without further ado, let's get this over with:
3. The Eagles Record Will be...
Initially I selected us to win our first 10, but I don't think that's realistic. 9 of 10, on the other hand, is completely reasonable. I think we have a fairly decent draw in the sense that besides our first 2 outings we play plenty of (theoretically) non-finals teams. We do have a difficult run in to end the season but at that point I'm hoping that most of the currently wounded are back and playing well. Due to the imbalance in the fixture, I wouldn't want us to lose any more than 3 games (at worst) in the first 10 to truly establish ourselves in the top 4. 'Any given Sunday' and all that, but if we beat who would should beat then we'll be in good shape with a record of 16-6.
2. And the Eagles will be...
On the basis of that rough prediction we should sneak into the top 4. In terms of when our season ends it all depends on Home finals and the form of other teams. But, injuries permitting of course, I see us going 1 better than last year and making the Prelim. I don't rule out a Grand Final appearance or Premiership chance, but we haven't played 1 game yet and I'm not that bold.
1. If the Eagles lose both derbies than I will change this into a Dockers blog for 1 week.
I really hope not, because besides that being a doomsday scenario for the team's prospects and the supporters' pride, it would be far too much work for me. Of course, we will win this Saturday making this prediction meaningless.
Finally done. Yay! I'll be back to preview the Derby later in the week.
Follow on FB and Twitter, because everyday that goes by with the FB page stuck on '20' is like a dagger in my heart.
