[1] We will not finish last:
I know the pundits rate us poorly and our pre-season has been poor, but I would not be surprised if we shocked a few wins. Our key forwards look ... questionable, but it now looks that we do have some crumbing options.
[2] Injuries are out key:
We have structural issues and a very young and inexperienced list. Key injuries would hurt us a lot. If we lose our experienced players, we will be bottom 3 material.
[3] Each year there is a team that falls:
Last year Freo dropped like a rock. North have thrown away their best players. Someone will fall unexpectedly. It can be us.
[4] Brisbane:
They may lift against us, but they have also lost unlosable games. I don't see them rising this season.
I expect us to remain about the same as last year. We may drop a place (slightly more likely) and gain a place (slightly less likely), but I do not see us as bottom 2 material.
