    Re: Pass Mark for 2020

    I am telling people that I will be satisfied with a finish anywhere above 2nd.

    I really believe we have the talent and have recruited to make a premiership.

    I am not interested in making up the numbers.

    My only concession is on injury as a healthly list is very important to achieve the ultimate.

    Hopefully it is a great 2020 for Libba. No more injury setbacks. Was very good in his early years include 2016 our premiership year. He is a very important player.

    Top 4 for me . The medical room will be massive and fingers crossed not many key players in it

    Based on form running out this season, our trades and another preseason into our young players - I think a top 6 finish is a pass mark; top 4 highly possible.

    Always struggle w speculation on preseason form on the track and hypothetical structures for next year as there’s 17 other clubs all improving (except Melbourne hopefully).

    I’m more bouyed by our list than I have been in a long long time!

    Sound list management should cover a reasonable level of injuries

    My expectation is to get to Prelim weekend. Anything can happen prelim weekend as we know - but if we get to the stage were we are playing off to get into a Grand Final - I'd say its a pass mark - and making the Grand Final is exceptional.

    Would be fantastic to get back there again after 4 years.

    Anything but improvement on last year would be disappointing and a fail, so a fail mark would be not winning a single final.
    Reciprocally I can imagine winning a final would at least be a pass mark but let's go for top marks.

    Yeah as BornInDroopSt'54 said improvement in last season is a must and is what all team aspire to achieve. So if we can finish above 7th and win a final we have improved.

    This list however have so much talent across all lines an actual pass mark is top 4 and a prelim for me. I try not to look at our players through rose coloured glasses, which is difficult, but this team imo is really well balanced and we have some good quality players stock piled waiting in the wings. If we get anything less than the prelim I would be pretty disappointed.

    Been drooling reading all this!

    All the elements are there for a huge year for us; it's now a matter of good form, management, timing, no major injury concerns and luck that they fuse together, conveniently culminating at the end of the season.

    Not too much to ask/dream of is it?

    Top 5 for me.
