What are your expectations for 2017?

[Thryleon]

Your seasoned veterans will carry you while young players develop but make no mistake those young players have shown alot. As for rising stars nomination, yes they do give them out every week but very few clubs receive 5 nominations in a year.

Make no mistake.  Ben Nason played twenty games in his debut season from pick 71, and showed a bit.  was delisted at the end of 2011.

We have some impressive youngsters and rising stars are great, but like I said they are not an indication of future success.

I'm simply tempering the expectation.  Levi, Murphy, Kreuzer,  Gibbs, Docherty, Plowman, Wright, Jones, Rowe(before injury) and Thomas have all put together good seasons. The kids will have to step up a lot because if these guys don't backup next season with similar we will be improving to tread water.

That's provided some of these kids don't go backwards too!
