1) We will fight back and make the finals in 2003.
2) Livo, Wiggins, Sporn, Justin Davies and Blake Campbell would all turn out to be good players (circa 2002)
3) Ratten will never be any more than an average player (circa 1994)

1. Bret Thornton is a future captain.
2. Pagan is a gun coach and will lead us out of the mire.
3. We will make top 8 in 2005 (after the NAB cup win).
4. Lance was the best man for the job (last year).
5. Give us 3 more years and we'll be right (said every season since '02).
6. Judd is a tad overrated (whilst playing for West Coast) - Blasphemy!!!

Am guilty of those too

OH!!!

I am guilty of some bad Pagan calls too.

And I also thought Diesel would never make it at Carlton... his knee was too banged up. Waste of money I thought (please note... I think the same about Judd, so this is sure to be a very good sign!).

Kade Simpson is pretty shit and will never make it.......

Dominic Fotia and Troy Bond are guns

Pre-season 1998 after someone on an AFL newsgroup website (sorry I'm struggling to remember the details) posted their predicted ladder after Round 22.

'I'd be pretty disappointed if we don't finish ahead of Adelaide'.

Brett Ratten is useless after Geelong dumped us out of the finals in 94.
Lance is the key (somewhere around 2004)
Pagan (oh wait I was right about him )

should have been saying that about Williams.

what a great Idea to play Kouta with a knee brace that weighs more than his leg! (2002 against Melbourne)

"Murray Vance will get his shit together soon."

("...after all, he is a high draft pick!)

haha I had that same feeling when he used to have very poor decision making. He'd take on a few players then totally stuff it up.

Also, after winning two in a row last year (vs bulldogs and port) that we will hammer hawthorn (franklin was ruled out before the match) and will be on the way up. Boy was I wrong that night.

Too many times to remember. Frequently I'm too kind to our players and see too much good in the young guys that end up failing.

My most stupid prediction was back in the 80s. My old neighbour told me that he was putting his name down for an MCC membership. He wanted to do it so that he would be able to get into Grand Finals. I told him it was a waste of time because as soon as the VFL can manage it they will move the GF to Waverley.

Dunno .. I listened to the whole Port game but missed the first 1/4 of the Dorks game .. and the guys picked up as soon as I tuned in ... maybe it wasn't, but it would appear not to be any more ...

There seem to be a few youngsters atm who made the same mistakes simmo did and have since been written off.

Yeah, Paul Bower in particular. I reckon he'll be a gem.

what nothing about Livo? I remember some big calls about him in this forum.

Me - Judd is over rated.
