Things you are looking forward to in 2025

[Dazza]

For mine I think 2025 will be a transitional year. I'm looking forward to seeing the reigns being handed over to the younger guys.

I'm hoping Darcy kicks on, Busslinger debuts and shows promise, Sanders cements a spot on merit, Freijah continues his development and Jamarra kicks a little straighter.

I'd love Garcia + West to cement a spot also.

I'm not expecting much next season and probably think it might be Bevo's last year as coach. Hopefully the team can prove me wrong.

What are you looking forward to most next year?

A premiership. Our best is good enough, our game style stacks up with the latest trends in the game, and we have an abundance of young and established talent.

We should be striving to achieve the ultimate goal in 2025.

Good thread Dazza.
I'm looking forward seeing further development and progress with our 2nd and 3rd year players.
I'm also intrigued with what Matthew Kennedy might bring us.
Sanders, Croft, Frejiah along Busslinger and Gallagher should play a big part in our future.

Sam Darcy becoming the most damaging player in the league.

Premiership, Bont wins Brownlow, Sanders becomes a gun, Marra & Darcy & Naughts 1, 2, 3 in Coleman & English surprises us with his ruck competitiveness.

That’s all I ask…(said in Alan Patridge’s singing voice).

Top 4. Mostly on Bevo he needs a big year and a good start.

Glad to see you are realistic josie!!

Darcy and Freijah player wise.
A better structure up forward where our forwards stop competing against each other and our mids can hit them .. and accuracy in front of goal !

Organic growth in players who were either given opportunities earlier than they might have or in positions unfamiliar to them is what I'll be looking for. If we get that and improvement from our tall forwards we take another step forward and that means aspirations for top six again.

I'd like to say top four, but there's eighteen teams and a banged up fixture, so being in the top 33% of those teams (let alone the top 22% of them) is going to be tough as other teams will improve.

A little bit like 2015 to 2016 and 2019/2020 to 2021 this year transitioning into next feels like a refresh and we usually do quite well coming out of them.

A lot rides on veterans Duryea, Jones, Libba and Treloar. If they can stay fit and in decent touch we're probably going to be reasonable. English needs to get back to his best, and should if he has an uninterrupted preseason.
