Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaave!!!! Bomber Cassell reliably informs me that the Bombers are no chance this year. He has said that every year I have known him. It is a given that in his opinion the Bombers are either fantastic (after any win) or sh1t (after every loss). 'Balanced' is the word I rarely think of. But I do agree with him every second week.
The Bombers will drop out of the 8 with certainty. How they made the 8 last year after winning about 3 games for the entire season remains a mystery that only Leonard Nemoy hosting 'In Search Of...' could hope to answer. The reality smacking they got from the Crows proved their place was a joke.
The weird thing is, they probably DO have a better team than last year. Lovett - St Kilda's recruit of the decade - is gone, Lloydy has finally retired, and Lucas has gone. All good things. Hille should be back from injury, Ryder will develop into a good player, Mark Williams is a classy player, and I'd happily take Monfries to the Crows given his superior pedigree as a Sturt player. Again, all good things. The downside is they are that bad that they need to have Watson as captain. And Stanton is still there... if there was a wasted disposal Brownlow these two guys would tie every year. Nup, Knightsy will continue to bring his 'winning' Tiger ways to the Bombers and Dave will continue to tell us all just how RUBBISH they are... every second week...
Expected Finish: 9-12
