What are your expectations for 2017?

And there's probably another 20-30 exGWS players on other club's lists.

SOS nailed the strategy for them in a way that GC missed. They should both be pushing for the GF this year but GC got pretty much everything wrong. Draft/trade strategy, culture, facilities, injury management, salary cap management, coach appointments... it's been an epic stuff up which only looks all the worse for GWS success.

Re. expectations for 2017 the Age experts predict that Carlton will push for 7-8 wins this year. I'd sign up for that right now. Our disposal right across the JLT series was wooden spoon stuff. Maybe that will clean up as we come into the season proper but that is the challenge at this point. We were miles off even a basic level of decision making / disposal accuracy.

So much doom and gloom for us in 2017!

Yet we have Murphy back and have added new talent in Marchbank, Pickett (both top 10 draftees with injuries seemingly now behind them and only 20 odd), Palmer (former top 10er who was good enough to play in GWS's PF side), Smedts (former #15 pick who has an almost bizarre injury laden career), SPS (once touted as the best 16yo in the country by a mile), Zac Fisher and the rest of that gang eg Polson, Macreadie (also touted as top 5 till GWS uprooted him) et al. And SOS's cousin.

Then there's blokes like Charlie Curnow, Harry Mc, and even Jacob W. who will begin to shine...

Yet all you MSM soaked sheep say we'll go backwards after a few JLT blow outs.

Shame the f.... on you.
