Snakes & Ladders, or, The Return of Mrs. Watson
It’s been a busy off-season for the AFL. With the players taking drugs, betting on games, assaulting women and head-butting business associates, we’ve hardly had a chance to write about the game itself or the up-coming season. But this weekend, ready or not, it is upon us. So, to prepare you for the season ahead, and which teams will climb the ladder and which will slide down, we’ve prepared the first ever Big League Little League version of “Snakes & Ladders”.
Adelaide
Captain: Snake. Based on the exceptional results they’ve had the past few seasons, Adelaide are due for a slump. I still think the Crows are a top 4 side, but they won’t be as dominant in the regular season as they have been in recent history. Plus, any club who would name Brett Burton captain and has the coach take training in Warwick Capper’s shorts is due for a fall.
Mrs. Watson: Snake. While Neil Craig and his team of geriatrics will be pissed they missed their shot last year, things won’t get any rosier this year. With a lot of other (younger) teams looking a lot sharper early this season, I for one am ready to kick the legs out from under this crippled old coot of a team. For the Crows, 2007 will be like a long soak in a kero bath: very unpleasant, but something they’ll get used to eventually.
Brisbane
Captain: Miss a Turn. After cutting plenty of deadwood veterans over the past season, the Lions are getting back to a position where players can be selected on their merits, and not just if their last name is “Scott”. The young kids look like they’ll be contributors but are still a couple of years off dragging the Lions back to the top. Too much for Black and Power to do, and while Jon Brown appears healthy now, history has shown us this is just like a sober Ben Cousins, only temporary.
Mrs. Watson: Ladder. Not a long ladder, just a little taller than last year’s. I suspect the Lions will win a few more home games this season, especially if their younger guys can play as tenaciously as they did in the NAB Cup. With Bradshaw gone, it’ll be difficult for the Brisbane midfield not to become too Brown-conscious (See St Kilda’s Reiwoldt Effect circa 2006) when kicking forward, but should Sherman and the likes help keep the goals ticking over, it’s hard to imagine them doing worse than last year.
Carlton
Captain: Ladder. They finished with the wooden spoon last year, winning only 3 games, the club’s best player goes to Ireland to cheat on his wife and beat up bartenders and some of their players are involved in a drunken assault in Ballarat. I mean, the only way is up for the Blues, right? It’s not like Kouta just broke a finger and will be out for 10 weeks while their new captain is trying to kill his immediate family… wait, I said ‘snake’, right?
Mrs. Watson: Ladder. Carlton will win 4 games this season, 2 of which will be victories over the Demons.
Collingwood
Captain: Snake. It’s never a good sign when your big off-season signing is Paul Medhurst. There’s no way Collingwood finishes in 6th place or higher this season, in fact, I think they’ll struggle to make the finals. The forward line of Anthony Rocca, Medhurst, Chris Egan and Josh Fraser looks dodgy to say the least, and bears a striking resemblance to that of Mrs. Watson’s dream team forwards, only more productive.
Mrs. Watson: Snake. That’s a cheap shot, Captain…but nevertheless quite true. As you well know, my team generates its stats from the back and through the middle, where I stack the skill. I don’t worry about the forwards because actual wins and losses, in the Dream Team sense, don’t mean a fucking thing. And, as you also know, El Capitan, I won last year’s DT convincingly with one of the worst forward lines ever put to paper. Unfortunately for Collingwood however, in the real world, teams need goals, and right now, all they have are shit hacks.
Essendon
Captain: Ladder. The Bombers could be a bit of a sleeper team this year, and I dare say it might be worth putting a few bucks on them in some early games when the odds are long. They’re still a bit light in the midfield but at least they’ve put a stop to Kevin Sheedy signing washed-up rejects from other clubs (although they could have at least let him have Steve Johnson). Bottom line, they can’t do any worse than last year.
Mrs. Watson: Ladder. Lloyd’s back, so Essendon fans can look forward to a hell of a lot of set shots, directly in front, awarded for dodgy defensive infringements against the sookiest nonce playing football today. What this equates to, unfortunately, is that the many close games they lost last year will be wins in 2007.
Fremantle
Captain: Snake. Talk about a team killer, the Chris Connolly Era has been good for two things: awkward Footy Show interviews and underperforming Freo teams. That it started to come together for them last season was, I think, completely due to the players, who most observers have been saying for the past few seasons, are among the most talented in the league. I think Tarrant will work well in the expanses of Subiaco but overall they’ll perform under expectations and Connolly will be pulling beers next year.
Mrs. Watson: Snake. I’d rather nestle between Chris Connolly’s clammy man-tits after a long love making session than jump on this ridiculous Dockers bandwagon. Let’s face it, a lot of good teams keeled over and made way for Freo late last year, and unless the same thing happens this year, I don’t see them going past a knock out final. As far and Tarrant and Solomon go, they’re not the final pieces of the Premiership puzzle. Not by a long shot. Home game advantage will sneak them into 6th or 7th.
Geelong
Captain: Big Ladder. Did you expect anything else? Top 4 this year. That’s all I’m saying.
Mrs. Watson: Ladder. Now, don’t get excited Cats fans, I don’t share the same enthusiasm as the Captain, but I do see us winning more games. Some remarkable draft pick-ups in the off season have given the Cats some immediate depth. In particular Djekurra and Selwood have impressed, and it’s also likely Hatchet will see the light of day before mid season. All these guys enhance our notoriously weak attack. With Mooney firing also, and rumours about Ottens’ fitness and form spreading like Chlamydia through Room 99 we might start to see a whole lot more consistency behind the 50 meter line. The back line looks huge, as well as quite formidable, and if our midfield steps up as well, last year’s “shoulda wins” should be certainties in 2007. Whether or not we can beat the good teams remains to be seen, but things are looking up. Oh, and for Lips’ sake, I hope the Captain’s prediction of 4th is true.
Hawthorn
Captain: Snake. I know everyone is high on their ‘talented young list’ but they won’t get it all together this year and they still carry too many shit players. Plus Alistair Clarkson looks like he could be capable of ‘pulling a Connolly’ on them. With some late, garbage time wins (including one against Geelong) they finished 11th last season, expect about the same again.
Mrs. Watson: Miss a Turn. I agree, Captain…I think the Hawks’ll be good, but not this year. Too many players yet to prove themselves (Franklin, I’m looking in your direction), and a pretty much non-existent forward line. They do, I think, have a solid center setup in Hodge, Mitchell & Co. however, which should see them over the line against any team who comes in unprepared for a midfield skirmish (See Geelong circa 2006). 11th again, probably.
Kangaroos
Captain: Snake. Big snake. Fucking 80 foot Boa Constricta. Nathan Thompson, the only bright spots from last season, is done for the year. Shannon Grant, Brent Harvey and Adam Simpson are all hitting the age of decline and King Carey is already calling for Laidley’s head, not that he’s wrong, just probably should have waited until they started 0-6. On the bright side there’s always Corey Jones and Carrara… Ugh.
Mrs. Watson: Snake. (INSERT GOLD COAST JOKE HERE).
Melbourne
Captain: Miss a Turn. I’m just never sold on Melbourne, they have too many guys capable of great things who produce nothing, and too many guys who just produce nothing. Not to mention David Neitz is 48 years old and their next best forward option is Russell Freakin Robertson. Another mediocre season.
Mrs. Watson: Miss a Turn. I like Melbourne, I really do, but I’m starting to feel very sorry for them. I mean, on paper, they’re freakin’ awesome (at least, I think so) but constant and prolonged mediocrity at the helm of Daniher has got to start taking its toll sooner or later. Problem is, people always comment on an underperforming Geelong squad, while congratulating the Demons at the end of every season for finishing between 5-8. No-one has been traded, no changes have been made (I think), so what are we to expect of 2007? A miraculous improvement from the exact same list of chokers? Probably not.
Port Adelaide
Captain: Ladder. Finally, another team who I think may improve. As much as I hate to admit it, the Power has done an excellent job with their recruiting, which hopefully has had nothing to do with Mark Williams (who suggested during the off-season that he had single-handedly saved the AFL by suggesting they look at head-high contact. Gee, never would have thought that getting whacked in the head was damaging, Mark, lucky you put us onto that you smug prick. Perhaps next you could tackle the drugs issue, or global warming, or perhaps the Gaza strip conflict). They showed some good signs last year and will kick on to improve upon their 12th place finish in 2006.
Mrs. Watson: Ladder. Improve? Hell, I might even tip this side to make the 8. With so many other teams wallowing in mediocrity last year, citing “rebuilding phases” and “windows of opportunity”, Port Adelaide, while having a terrible 2006, seemed to actually learn and improve from having a losing year. For me, Danyle Pearce was a highlight, as was the domination of Kane Cornes and Shaun Burgoyne. Sure their forward line sucks, but I’m not suggesting a Premiership here, just a continuing steady improvement.
Richmond
Captain: Miss a Turn. Hey, don’t blame me, Terry Wallace was the one who said the Tigers window opens in 2011. Good to see he’s getting the excuses out of the way extra early this year. I guess getting hired on the basis of a “5 year plan” was a bit dishonest, but I doubt the Richmond board would have been enlightened enough to see the genius in Wallace’s “9 year plan”. About 9th just feels right, doesn’t it?
Mrs. Watson: Snake. If there was a way of typing laughter without using the ridiculous “hahaha”, I’d type it right here beside a humorous, yet accurate swipe at Kent Kingsley. Good luck with him, by the way.
St.Kilda
Captain: Ladder. Didn’t Grant Thomas remind you of the kid at school who everyone hates, but no matter how plainly you put it, he just doesn’t get the message and continues to hang around? Well, now that ‘Walnut’ is finally out of the way, the Saints may actually have a chance. As for Thomas, I saw he wrote an article for the Age about what it takes to be a good coach, which is like Britney Spears writing about how to be a good mother. Still, the Saints managed to concede the 3rd fewest points in the league last season, which surprised me considering they seem a much more offensive side. An excellent Telstra Dome record, a new coach and a drug-free Michael Gardiner should see them close enough to the top 4 again. Well, 2 outta 3 aint bad.
Mrs. Watson: Ladder. For a few years now the media have been busy building an unstoppable St Kilda juggernaut out of a merely ‘good’ young side, but this year, with the weight of expectation having shifted to Melbourne’s Western suburbs, I think the Saints will finally thrive. Sure, they have injury worries, but I hope this is the year they stop using that as an excuse and actually toughen up. Lyon has done very well keeping his team, as well as himself, under the radar this pre-season and I expect big things to come from St Kilda as a small result.
Sydney
Captain: Snake. Don’t you think it’s time Sydney had just one injury? Just one. I mean, it’s getting beyond a joke. The only hospital experience they’ve had in the past 3 seasons was with Ryan O’Keefe who had elective surgery to lodge his head further up his own ass. I believe they call it the “Cornes procedure”. I also think a League that seems hell bent on allowing free-flowing, high-scoring football will not be in Sydney’s best interests. Fuck the Swans.
Mrs. Watson: Miss a Turn. I don’t really know what to say about this team. I’m having trouble. Commenting on the Sydney Swans is like painting a bowl of fruit: it’s very difficult to do, but seriously, I’d rather be painting something else. Like a robot. Or an army tank…with more guns than could realistically be fixed to the outside of it. But nothing really stands out. Nothing really grabs me. But then again, nothing really suggests they won’t make the Grand Final yet again. Who the hell knows, and honestly, who the hell cares? Not I.
West Coast
Captain: Snake. Well, similar to Carlton, there’s only one way for the Eagles to go. Still, I wouldn’t count them out of the premiership hunt. Apparently this drug thing has been going on for years, and it didn’t hurt them too much last year. Imagine a clean & sober Cousins returning to the team halfway through the season. Imagine a more focused, more hardened Eagles outfit. Imagine if Andrew Embley stopped fighting it and just got on the gear like everyone else…
Mrs. Watson: Snake. Drug jokes aside, you’d have to be high to suggest the recent drug scandal had any real effect on the Eagles squad. Sure, predicting another Premiership is probably over shooting the mark a bit, but does anyone really think they’ll slide all THAT much? Top 4 finish.
Western Bulldogs
Captain: Snake. I believe that everyone will have the Bulldogs figured out this year. I believe that they might struggle to win with Andrew MacDougall as their tallest player. I believe that Farren Ray is a bust. I believe that Luke Darcy will be washed up. I believe the Western Bulldogs will get too many televised games this year. I believe that Robert Walls gets a ‘Ron Burgundy’ type erection every time Adam Cooney runs with the ball. I believe there’s no better place to be. Seriously. (Do you hate those Channel Ten ads, or love them? I can’t decide.)
Mrs. Watson: Ladder. While the Bulldogs are not the unbeatable side they’re made out to be, they will win a few more games this year, and possibly make the 4. It’s impossible to look past the Bulldog’s talented list. With Darcy’s return also, I just hope that Eade does the right thing and puts Peter Street out of his misery. And no, like most of what’s on Channel Ten, those ads are rubbish.
It’s been a busy off-season for the AFL. With the players taking drugs, betting on games, assaulting women and head-butting business associates, we’ve hardly had a chance to write about the game itself or the up-coming season. But this weekend, ready or not, it is upon us.
