    Melbourne won't finish on top of the ladder. They are flakier than us.
    They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

    Bold call on a 50 year old being most improved. Are you predicting we will pick him up in the mooted mid season draft?

    I predicted Bont to be our highest Brownlow poller but really great to see predictions that Libba could be this year. He had a very solid JLT series.
