wow - that article was ridiculous.
 
They are basing there entire pridictions on the fact its our first season and that the NZ knights were a shambles. It forgets to mention the fact that the Knights pulled it together at the end of the season under Ricki.
I also think the fact we won against two "powerhouses"  in the pre-season means alot more than zero. Its not like everyone suddenly discovers there form as soon as the pre-season ends.
 
That article sounded like a NZ rugby commentator at an allbacks game.

Actually, I thought the summary was pretty fair. Pre-season results are meaningless in any league. Though I definitely took some optimism from ours, the adrenalin and sense of urgency in a pre-season game does not match the intensity of a proper match. I don't think that has anything to do with form; it's just the way pre-season matches go with any league.
 
At this stage of proceedings, I think it's fine for us to be favourites to finish 8th. From what I've seen of us so far, I don't think that's going to happen but I can't begrudge anyone making that prediction.

I am involved in an AFL tipping comp, and I regualrly use melbourne papers to help with my tips. I am coming near the bottom.

Moral: melbourne papers talk a good game but they rarely get it right
