Mid table will represent a successful debut season. The following year, however, it's got to be a title challenge.

I think you should include a "bottom half of the table"
 
But I am hoping for a solid start and anything around midtable is a good result.

If we build it, they will come...

Not sure if i had another column but i would assume you know there is only 8 teams and 3 make the play offs so that leaves only probably 2 spots below mid table

I think you guys should try and aim for play-offs but don't expect to be there.
You should try and avoid what queensland roar does and actually win more than 2 home games a year and make teams annoyed they have to go to wellington to play like what the AFL teams have to do when they have to go to Perth.
I would say your squad isn't that good but only 4 NZ Knights players may have gotten a game for any other side last year and Ricki still won most of there last 7 so i think you guys will finish 6th.

I'd like to think we can win the comp, but good things take time. its a new team and it will take time to get to the top...hopefully not too long

Mid table- would be fantastic. I really think that so far the squad looks far too good to finish at the bottom.

Early to call but mid table would be good - need to see who our other imports are and where the rest of our defence will come from.

Last.
 
Ideally, though, you'd come second in the comp and lose a ripper of a GF to the Victory.

Do only three make the playoffs this year? I thought it was four.

I say 5th-7th. I think 7th would be disappointing, but 5th well respectable.

4th, and lose in playoffs

i think 4th would be great but more likely 6th

If covney is our main striker we will come last. If we sign Richard Gray ( Wellington united ) we should get top half of the table.

True we have alot of A League castoffs, many whom I'd personally not sign... but LAST, come on mate. 
 
That will be Perth with out a doubt, then either Queensland or Central Coast, with those two followed by us.
 
You just watch and see!
 
I.E we finish FIFTH!!!!

Frankly Melbourne isn't what it was last season.  Good but not good enough. 
Confident that the Phoenix will damage a lot of reputations.
Wooden spoon, Perth Glory.
Would've liked to see a re-match with Melbourne V & the Knights when they were on form.

Hopefully not bottom, ideally 5th (being realistic) but 6th or 7th more likely.  I think I have the whole bottom half of the table covered there.

I honstly think that we could shoot a chance at a top 4 finish. There is no reason that we cant, there is some quality signings... I think anything below 5th is not good enough..we need to make an impact in the A-league. The knights left alot of people laughing-
Great coach, great team, fckn great suporters-why the fk not?

with some of the players we seem to be snapping up the season should be a good one. I only have a wee fear that all this enthusiasm will be destroyed by early season losses... just like alot of kiwis we need to be more than fair weather supporters... i used to go to the knights whenever i could. It was a heartbreaking experience watching them throw away game after game! but now some real hope for professional football in NZ! Go the Phoenix!

After looking at other teams line ups, we will do very well not to finish last
