Bold prediction: Tom Glover to take over from Dean Bouzanis part way into the season. Jamie Maclaren to be Golden Boot as above. 6. Our Season: We'll see some nice team football at times, but won't have enough firepower up front to win enough games. Defensively we'll give away soft goals and find it difficult to keep a clean sheet. We will regularly lose players to international duties. A fairly typical Heart/City season, but more entertaining than most. And, of course, my predictions will be hopelessly wrong as in previous seasons.

Win the league by 7 points and scrape through in the grand final when VAR failed and missed the sole goal of the match - a rebound off Jamieson’s arm.

bt50 Posted October 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2019 Three distinct groups for mine; Contenders : Sydney, Perth, MV, MC Mid Tablers : WSW, WU, Bris, Adel Bottom End : CCM, New, Welly IMO all teams will be more competitive than usual and every team will be in with a shot most weeks, but ultimately the class will show and the table sorts itself into the above brackets. I reckon the order within those brackets could absolutely go in any order though. Anyways, my guess: 1. City 2. Sydney 3. Perth 4. MV 5. Adelaide 6. WSW 7. WU 8. Brisbane 9. CCM 10. Wellington 11. Newcastle 2) Sydney 3) JMac 4) None 5) Western United to start horribly but make a late charge only to just miss out; the talk is all around their sub 2k crowd average outside of derbies however. 6) Best season to date with the French Revolution coming up big. Will qualify for the ACl for the first time. Ultimately will lack a bit of star power on the big stage of finals however. Club signs a big name for next season via the guest rule for the ACL.

fensaddler Posted October 8, 2019 Report Share Posted October 8, 2019 (edited) My sense is that City will definitely be back in the top three/four pack chasing honours, rather than playing catch up in the following pack. As usual, I'd expect that top group to also include Perth, Sydney and Victory. The next group is likely to include Adelaide, WU plus one club doing a little better than expected. Adelaide and WU are similar teams, organised, skilful and tight in defence, but lacking real flair up front. But WU are less afraid to kick the opposition, which may or may not help them. As many here already suggest, WU won't be down among the dead men. They could well make finals. I've seen WSW twice, once against us in the cup, and on Saturday in Geelong, and on both occasions they've looked a poor side. For them to make the six, or even come top of the bottom five, it's going to need some of the home crowd Parramatta magic. Brisbane are a complete unknown with a rookie manager and a largely new squad. They've not convinced in pre-season, so I'm not expecting anything. But anything could happen. Newcastle look also rans. Two seasons ago seems like an aberration and they appear to have returned to form. They could even prop up the table. Central Coast have a decent manager and some useful signings and they could finally surprise us and get off the bottom playing decent football. But they aren't going to threaten the top six. Which leaves the yellow peril from over the ditch. They've been shorn of everything that made them good last season, both manager and flair players. What remains, and what they've added, is an unknown quantity. A repeat of last season seems wildly unlikely.
