\u201cOn the surface you think with the calibre of players that have gone\u2026 they\u2019re raw stats, it must be right. But then if you look at the year before when they do it, the number one ranked team was Melbourne. They finished 17th.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you think that a Milera\u2019s going to step up, a Brodie Smith is going to step up, I love Ned McHenry and they\u2019re all talking up Chayce Jones as the next paddy — put four in there, those numbers will soon head north, so I don\u2019t put a lot of credence on it to be honest.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI think at their best they\u2019re bottom of the top eight. I think realistically they\u2019re a 9, 10, 11 and if the wheels completely fall off\u2026 holy hell!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
