Welcome to the new aflq season everyone, this really should be a great year of footy we all hope of course. Morningside are looking for back to back flags and Southport will be looking to redeem themselves after being run down in the last qtr by the vultures in the preliminary final. It will be a tight and close season a believe and all teams except for the magpies imo have a chance of playing finals. The n.t will be looking to play finals after a great first year in the comp.
The 3 gold coast teams this year will all have in different year I believe. Southport have been recruiting heavily and that’s no surprise to anyone after they lost the preliminary final the way they did, the problems they might run into is will they gel as a team and will most of their recruits stay the whole season because of worked issues. They will be up there all year imo, but I can’t see them winning the flag. Broady have lost a decent back man and probably there best player in wade Dickson. They still have Corey Fulton and he can kick a bag every week if he gets great supply from his midfield. I think they will struggle to get off the bottom of the ladder again this year. Labrador has recruited well and has a side on paper that can play finals and go further than the first week. There will be a few question marks over spider and if he gets through a couple of games. They have a good side but will they put it on the park every week, like they didn’t in 2008 where there was an implosion.
The Brisbane side again will be lead by the panthers and the vultures in my opinion. Thos 2 sides don’t have to do much recruiting to make their sides better. The panther have the best all round list and I honestly believe they will be hungrier this year to go back to back. Their midfield is top notch and their forward is nearly unstoppable and their backline is the best in the league. The vultures have a pretty good squad with plenty of good players to come into the squad throughout the year through injury and suspension. They will be a solid team all year and I reckon they will be there on grand final day with the panthers. The bomber have lost a few and picked up a few decent players as well. They will be in the middle of the pack and having crack at playing finals again. The magpies are going to struggle again this year. They tried to recruit some players this year and well 1 fell through and it seemed too me they put all their eggs in one basket for him. To me they still have a pineapple hotel cup mindset and that isn’t going to work in this league.
The mighty hornets, a team that was thrown into the comp at the last minute last year and with little time to get ready and to recruit players, did well with what they had and they were certainly a better than a 3 win team. With a new coach and new staff and new recruits they should be look to be on the fringe of the 5 this year. They look like a strong team across the park. I have been told carpenter will be a big pick and he could be a medal winner. I expect them to come out firing this year and to win at least 8 games.
The northern territory will be a very strong outfit again this year. Murray Davis is back coaching and he will have a decent list to pick from every week. They should win every home game and the 3 extra games they get that the league has given them in Alice Springs. They should make the 5 and get a home final and Ewing will be a huge favorite for the goal kicking medal this year and the midfield is another strong point for this team.
This year shapes up too be a cracker and I think Morningside will win back to back flags and they will play the vultures in the grand final. The grogan will go to Jacob gough.
Have great year of local footy everyone
