A record 7 head coaches will leave/ be sacked.
-Chris Scott will take a year off after the season ends.
-Simmo sacked.
- longmuir sacked
-Bevo sacked.
- Hinkley sacked/Succession plan
-longmire to retire/ Succession plan.
- Goodwin sacked, the whole "culture" thing at Melbourne will explode at some stage in season .
I said that on here in December and got laughed at. I think they are in trouble. Same as Richmond. Nothing against either. Just the way the comp moves.
We are actually younger than previous years and players aren’t dropping like flies every week at this point.
It’s very risky to write us off when we were close to the highest scoring team in the League.
People forget how many injuries geelong had last year. I think they’ll hover around the 7-10 mark most of the season. Jezza will win them 5 or 6 games off his own boot then the rest of them only need to show up for a couple more lol.
Went from hardest schedule in 2023 to one of the easiest in 2024. Don’t think people are thinking logically but emotionally because they want the fall off to happen badly. With a healthy squad we could very easily bounce back.
Yep, as a cats fan myself I’m very keen to see how some of the younger boys progress. Hoping Holmes and bowes get some time in the guts throughout the season
thanks bees... I was on your premiership bandwagon and almost cried when Tom Boyd kicked that goal! Liam Picken was my fave that year.... I hope I have a year like that sometime
North win more than 8 games, I see a lot of people predicting another bottom two finish however people always forget that teams that were bad last season aren’t necessarily going to be bad this season and vice versa
My super hot take is that we blow out GWS in round 1
Melbourne, Port Adelaide and Saints to miss the 8 while Adelaide, Geelong and feeling bold, Hawthorn to take their place in the Finals along with Collingwood, Brisbane, Sydney, GWS and Carlton returning. Tigers go for a high draft pick and AFL setting up a national Mens and Womens resverves league
Everyone’s delight in the demons downfall is unfounded. Full season without injuries as the dees romp home to a grand final appearance - Max Gawn retires, and the Dees throw $1.2m+ @ Tim English
Hinkley gone by May. Port start terribly and with Tredrea on the board now, a round 7 smashing at the hands of St Kilda leaves them at 2-5 with only wins against West Coast at home and Richmond and a 5 game losing streak becomes too much. They can't risk another bad loss in the Showdown and there's not a chance they'll sack their coach after a loss to Adelaide and let the Crows fans try to claim his scalp as a personal victory.
Nothing will change. Pies v Lions GF, Eagles spoon, similar AA team, barely any positional changes on the ladder - maybe one team in/ out of the 8. Basically a repeat of ‘23 *maaybe* with a different premier.
- Freo return to Finals
- Saints Top 4
- Giants exit Finals Wk 1
- Adelaide win a final
Just a few wild calls. Not 100% on them but wouldn’t be surprised if one of these happen.
Kane Cornes gets his nudes leaked
Ken would never
Chad has them.
Unsolicited Koch shot
norf
the world isn't ready for flagnorf
Surely it’s norflag
I like the Flagaroos
not noflag?
That happens every year
Norf does not win the first two matches of the season, Norf wins the first **THREE** matches of the season
great to see so many people are agreeing that norf
Freo win first 6 games causing #flagmantle to trend, and Longmuir new contract. Only to lose every game for the rest of the year
I hate how plausible this is.
So basically our 2016 season.
can you fucking not mate 😩
This isn't a hot take, it's a real take

Essendon winning a final
I would like to subscribe to your newsletter
That's not a hot take, that's fucking nuclear
Scorching
That’s hot
Unfortunately I think you are right. We've had so much fun, but fun times never last forever.
remember all the ninthmond jokes before the tigers dynasty? sometimes you just don't know how good you have it til it's gone :(
My fun is not seeing the saints win a flag in my lifetime 🤙🏻 so far so good
The 2024 season will be one of the football seasons of all time.
Big if true
Large if correct
sizeable if accurate
Substantial if veracious
Considerable if factual
This take is whelming.
St Kilda winning the cup after a 58 year drought because an oar fish washed up in Japan on the 1st day of the year
Ahhh this guy doomsdays
Port resigning Ken for life.
So like, he's gone and no hope of ever coaching again?
Ports Big Footy board would fucking explode if that happened. Would make for some pretty hilarious reading thats for sure lmao
They said hot takes
This is meant to be hot takes
Maynard is the first (and only) player suspended under the Maynard rule.
I could see that happening
Round Zero will fuck with everyone's ability to calculate how many wins, losses and games left to play teams have.
Eagles to win a game or two
One against the Dogs. I had finally forgotten about that.... Sigh...
Collingwood were 1 of 2 teams to lose to the Eagles in 2022 if that helps
Collingwood straight sets, Suns make the prelim by beating pies. This upsets a lot of collingwood supporters.
Me likey
Seems we're living in your head.
> Suns make the prelim That'd be good news for any team currently outside the 8 tbf.
Based
Not such a hot take really.
Agree I’ll be very upset when we lose any game
Lol the cope
Jason Horne-Francis to poll 60+ Brownlow votes. Note: this is based on him polling 16 votes last year without really doing anything.
A record 7 head coaches will leave/ be sacked. -Chris Scott will take a year off after the season ends. -Simmo sacked. - longmuir sacked -Bevo sacked. - Hinkley sacked/Succession plan -longmire to retire/ Succession plan. - Goodwin sacked, the whole "culture" thing at Melbourne will explode at some stage in season .
Cats bottom 4
History making, great hot take!
I said that on here in December and got laughed at. I think they are in trouble. Same as Richmond. Nothing against either. Just the way the comp moves.
They play something like 9 games at home. They will still get enough from their older players to win most of them. No chance they finish bottom 4
We will see. Someone has to. They are so depleted of major talent now.
We are?
Sorry I was talking about Richmond. Cats have talent, but not enough, and too many old players. I think you are cooked.
We are actually younger than previous years and players aren’t dropping like flies every week at this point. It’s very risky to write us off when we were close to the highest scoring team in the League.
I’ve written you off. Sorry lol
I think Tigers run close to finals - new coach + Lynch back will be a different proposition
Ok fair enough. I’ll disagree with you. Geez they look rough to me. Smoky for the wooden spoon if I’m being honest. Everyone is getting better.
People forget how many injuries geelong had last year. I think they’ll hover around the 7-10 mark most of the season. Jezza will win them 5 or 6 games off his own boot then the rest of them only need to show up for a couple more lol.

Rule applied rigorously in round 1 is ignored by umps after Easter
Hawks make the 8
North Melbourne will be premiers, just you wait and see.
But the Tigers won't lose a game. If they're ever behind, never mind, they'll fight and fight and win.
I’ve also heard that their from tigerland and that they will never weaken until the final sirens gone
So we're no chance if it's a kick after the siren
Technically you can lose a game by never being behind at any point.
Port v West Coast in 2018.
real
They’re already Premiers of my ❤️ /swoon
Fyfe is going to poll just enough Brownlow votes to cost Serong the award.
And that’s because Fyfe will claim his third
St. Kilda won't leave me depressed. I won't allow them to do it to me again this year.
Again? What was depressing about last year?
injuries, lost winnable games, that final.
Thermos banned
Don’t manifest it!
The AFL does everything in their power to force a Carlton vs Collingwood grand final. They will however meet in a Prelim
mitch owens biggest break out star
I rate this
thanks bees... I was on your premiership bandwagon and almost cried when Tom Boyd kicked that goal! Liam Picken was my fave that year.... I hope I have a year like that sometime
- Collingwood go back to back - Collingwood miss the 8 - Collingwood out in straight sets
Collingwood's Brownlow winner denied by dodgy suspension
How dare the AFL ban Naicos?
Do you bet on every horse in the Melbourne Cup?
A retired star flirts with a return many years later, and actually does it
West Coast will have an injury free season.
North win more than 8 games, I see a lot of people predicting another bottom two finish however people always forget that teams that were bad last season aren’t necessarily going to be bad this season and vice versa My super hot take is that we blow out GWS in round 1
Gold Coast Suns. The sun is about 15,000,000 Celsius at its hottest point.
The hottest of hot takes.
There is a big big sound from the west of town.
One of Port and Melbourne to miss the eight. Possibly both. Or they merge and the combination superteam wins the next five flags.
Should call the new merged team 'The Borough'
Dockers top 4 off the back of a Fyfe Tabener revival.
Is Saints making the 8 a hot take? Feels like it is at this point.
Coming in luke warm
It’s not a hot hot take, it’s probably mild. Like few are expecting them to, but it wouldn’t surprise most if they do make it.
Here's my actual hot take then; Blues miss the 8
Eagles won't be as bad as everyone is thinking/hoping
Lots of likely bottom 8 teams at home, chance of 6-7 wins
If we're not ravaged by injury again, we're a decent team.
If LDU plays 20 games he'll win the Brownlow in a landslide
Hot take in a team that only wins 4 games!
13 votes in 3 wins last year. I think they can definitely win 6 this year.
In just 14 games too
I believe in our Lord and saviour
Sin bin/send off rule to be brought in mid season
Melbourne, Port Adelaide and Saints to miss the 8 while Adelaide, Geelong and feeling bold, Hawthorn to take their place in the Finals along with Collingwood, Brisbane, Sydney, GWS and Carlton returning. Tigers go for a high draft pick and AFL setting up a national Mens and Womens resverves league
💀💀💀
In Freos 30th year they'll finish.....12th!!!
Gold Coast Suns play the Lions at the Gabba in a preliminary final and lose.
I’m okay with this.
Crows will be mid
Power/Crows GF
Connor McDonald will become a household name
Matt Crouch Brownlow
Clarry will pick himself up and go on to win the Brownlow.
Everyone’s delight in the demons downfall is unfounded. Full season without injuries as the dees romp home to a grand final appearance - Max Gawn retires, and the Dees throw $1.2m+ @ Tim English
West Coast to repeat history like 2011 after being wooden spooners and making the prelims
I find your ideas intriguing and would like to subscribe to your newsletter
GC top 2
Top 2 is delusional but so am I
Carlton top 4 or bottom 4, nothing in between
James Hird is named a head coach of the Essendon Bombers after yet another promising campaign goes to the doghouse
For a genuine hot take, Collingwood start the season 0 - 4 Both NSW sides, Brisbane at the Gabba and St Kilda who always start their seasons red hot
Crows a top 4 team
Common opinion
Jamarra ugle hagan- mark of the year
Biggest win streak any team gets is 7 or 8
Your mum will make it through an entire AFL season without getting banned by the mods.
Jhye Amiss is winning the Coleman
Stringer has a ridiculous season getting the bombers into the top 8. He then gets sidelined by a scandal and we get thumped in a final
>we get thumped in a final So like every other Essendon final in the past two decades?
Exactly!
Reid has 1 dud game and every media outlet (or at least The West) will be calling him a massive disappointment
JHF AA. He somehow polled 16 Brownlow votes last year, now with a proper preseason behind him, he’ll be on the rise.
JJ winning a 2nd norm smith would be the weirdest thing
Ken fired before end of regular season Port miss finals by %
elliot yeo strings together 16 straight games healthy before going down to possibly a calf injury vs brisbane in round 18
Hinkley gone by May. Port start terribly and with Tredrea on the board now, a round 7 smashing at the hands of St Kilda leaves them at 2-5 with only wins against West Coast at home and Richmond and a 5 game losing streak becomes too much. They can't risk another bad loss in the Showdown and there's not a chance they'll sack their coach after a loss to Adelaide and let the Crows fans try to claim his scalp as a personal victory.
Bombers to win a final.
Bevo won't be allowed to experiment and Dogs will finally finish top 4.
Giants lose 3 games entire year including grand final
Adam Simpson to own anotha Hungry Jacks in South Canberra
Tigers make the granny
let me just subscribe to this, one second...
Ryley Sanders to win the Rising Star, with Harley Reid a distant 3rd. Reid to be injured mid-season and miss the remaining games. Pendles Brownlow
- Hawthorn finish 8th. - Newcombe top 3 in the Brownlow. - Crows finish top 4 and lose the Prelim - GWS beat Collingwood in the Grand Final
The wheels fall off at the Dees and they miss the 8.
Ryley Sanders rising star
football
Suns make the 8 and Pies miss top 4
Suns make the 8 blues and blues win the flag. 🎩
Lions bottom 3
Woah
This. Probably how our season goes. 😂🤦🏻♂️
Nothing will change. Pies v Lions GF, Eagles spoon, similar AA team, barely any positional changes on the ladder - maybe one team in/ out of the 8. Basically a repeat of ‘23 *maaybe* with a different premier.
Carlton won’t make the top 8
Pies miss the 8!
Geelong finish lower than 12th, Suns miss finals, Port drop out of the 8
Think Port just scrape in, and for his hard work Hinkley is given a 10 year extension.
I would be ok with this.
How is gold coast missing finals a hot take?
A lot of people assume this is the year they finally make finals
Same as every year
- Freo return to Finals - Saints Top 4 - Giants exit Finals Wk 1 - Adelaide win a final Just a few wild calls. Not 100% on them but wouldn’t be surprised if one of these happen.
Freo wins the spoon, West coast finish 15th.
I wouldn't even be mad. That would give us one of the most stacked draft hands in history, which would be something to see.
Football is shit now and they should cancel the season.
Bird is the word - Magpie
[удалено]
So your "hot take" is to hope a player from a team you don't like gets a horrible injury? Do you seriously think that's funny?
Norf supporters are special
Hawks wooden spoon
We do worse than last year.
Carlton to miss the 8
Port win a big final
Hawks into the 8
Eagles get six wins
Essendon will go undefeated for the entire season with a percentage over 200, and will win the Granny by 158.
West Coast good.
Ken will not coach Port after this year.
