I also think we will finish higher than Carlton, my prediction is we will finish 10th :v: We had a shocking start to the year with injuries and it looks like now we will have evryone back or available by rd 14. Rumour has it Neita has broken his hand though, which sucks because it could hurt his chances of becoming the first Demon to play 300 games this year.
I enjoy watching Carlton when their on, they have a very good young side. They are probally 2 years off at making the finals but Carlton fans have alot to look foward to. With young guns like, Murphy, Waite, Gibbs, Bentick, Simpson, Carrazo to name a few and remember their best on baller Nick Stevens is out for the year. I think that injury has been tough on young Mark Murphy who has got the oppenents number 1 tagger each week and that is a tough ask for a 20 year old.
I think Hawthorne are a better vic side than Geelong though, they are coached well and are tough as nails. I just think when these sides match up again the Hawks will come out all guns blazing. Beating a team by 100 points with your two best fowards out, regardless of who it is against is quite amazing.
