Too early Mods?
If not here we go, because 2018 is over for us.
Firstly, apologies to MIO for stealing his concept.
.
What do I expect?
.
At this stage, probably Demolition!
Princes Park might well live up to it's name!
The Hobart Blues
The Launceston Lillies
Gloch is probably salivating at the thought, Dawks and Norp won't be too happy though, getting the kibosh from the Apple Isle!

You mean we may be sent to Van Diemen's Land?? :o

Canberra, Cairns, China. Cradle Mountain
Somewhere where we don't have to change the monogram ;D
I want to see-
1)Support for Bolton with a Craig like figure. I think we're missing his input.
2)Mature, physical, talented recruits in the 22-26 year age group.
Trade picks for them! Even Pick 1
3)Players supporting their teammates in the physical contests. On the weekend I saw one of our players jog past a teammate getting roughed up on the ground. I just forget who it was but it was someone who surprised me.
4) The emphasis must be on winning rather than development. We must select teams to win games. Let the development happen at VFL level and when they're ready move them up and give them an extended period. But winning must become a priority because losing and honorable losses seem to have become entrenched.
5)With that in mind around 8-10 wins
6)No excuses, no green shoots-call it as it is!
7)New Captain-Docherty or Cripps-its time for that handover.
8)100 point scores-How long has it been now ?!
9)A more aggressive and defiant approach to the AFL-the crap around the Curnows and the umpires we were subjected to, compared to other players in similar situations, was pathetic.
10) A similar approach to the media-call out some of their hypocrisy and contradictions. If we're going to go down let's not go down without a fight

For starters, a season where we don't put the queue in the rack.

Should we ask an AFL consultant?
Does anybody have Sheedy's number?

I have no idea anymore after this year. I'd start with another coach as Bolton, I don't think, is up to the job of such a big rebuild. I thought we'd be 10th-11th this with 8-9 wins after our last two years. Injuries haven't helped but some games our entire intensity disappeared, something that barely happened in the last two years (bar trips to Brisbane).
What I'd like to see is our side better drilled, better structured, better attitude, have better game plan, one within their capabilities, and much better development of players. So i'm saying a change in coaching staff from the top down, bar Teague (who I think can coach). Have all of that and the rest looks after itself.

I'll wait to see what we do in the trade/draft period. Could make the difference between predicting we'll finish bottom 2 vs bottom 4

Agreed. Still not sure BB is up to being a senior coach but needs more time granted.
2)Mature, physical, talented recruits in the 22-26 year age group.

Sounds like the Crows are the ones to deal with - #1 for #8, #13 and a player.
Trade for 2 A graders or at worst, 1 A grader, couple of experienced B -B+ grade mids....
3)Players supporting their teammates in the physical contests. On the weekend I saw one of our players jog past a teammate getting roughed up on the ground. I just forget who it was but it was someone who surprised me.
Boxing/MMA lessons in the off season.
4) The emphasis must be on winning rather than development. We must select teams to win games. Let the development happen at VFL level and when they're ready move them up and give them an extended period. But winning must become a priority because losing and honorable losses seem to have become entrenched.

Make the 8.
6)No excuses, no green shoots-call it as it is! Yep
7)New Captain-Docherty or Cripps-its time for that handover.
Murphy must go - but the Doc/Crippa choice looks very difficult.
8)100 point scores-How long has it been now ?!
Fix the midfield (and dare I say it) ruck eg Preuss, the scoring will follow...
9)A more aggressive and defiant approach to the AFL-the crap around the Curnows and the umpires we were subjected to, compared to other players in similar situations, was pathetic.
Diabolically pathetic.

Finals, then 4 in a row!
