WHO IS the jury out on this year? 

We threw the question to you to find out who is under pressure and your club's biggest question marks in 2018. 

Read on for some of the best responses.

The resilience of the group. Will the players live up to the their stated determination to reverse the Grand Final result?
- David Porter, Myrtle Bank SA 

Whether we'll still love Rory Sloane in 12 months' time.
- Daniel McCann, Adelaide SA 

Whether the older guys (Tom Bell, Allen Christensen etc.) can maintain form good enough to keep the young boys out of the team.
- Stephen McKernan, Tewantin QLD 

Retaining draftees. We need Alex Witherden, Hugh McCluggage, Cam Rayner and other unsigned recruits to commit long-term.
- Steven Scott, Henty NSW

The forward line's scoring ability.
- Greg Wilde, Woodville SA 

Harry McKay. Two years with limited games and impact. Needs to play senior footy regularly this year.
- Shane Dillon, Geraldton WA

The coach. He has been unlucky or is he just not very good.
- Colin TeggRamsgate Beach NSW 

Daniel Wells. Can he last a season?
- Simon Edmonds, Glen Innes NSW 

Whether we have the midfield class to compete for a flag.
- Graeme Browne, Moonee Ponds VIC

The recruitment of Jake Stringer. High risk, high reward.
- Dave EdebohlsNoble Park VIC 

Can Ross the Boss change his game style and create a more attacking team, kicking 15-plus goals a game?
- Grant HoworthLake Clifton WA 

Harley Bennell. Needs to play at least 20 games this year.
- Glenn Hackett, Perth WA  

Gary Ablett. Got his wish to come home, now must deliver for the fans.
- Joel Bates, Gold Coast QLD 

The coach and his finals record.
- Michael Barker, Adelaide SA 

If the kids can improve enough to make the side regularly competitive.
- Shane Jepson, Carrara QLD

Lachie Weller. Although he has had some pretty impressive performances for his age and experience, I still don't think he was worth pick two.
- Lachlan Carroll, Mildura VIC

Finals form, can they hold it together in the big moments? I hope so.
- Tanga Waetford, Lalor Park NSW 

Defensive pressure – we had none of it in 2017, which ultimately led to our demise.
- Austin Skilton, Hoppers Crossing VIC 

Jaeger O'Meara to be fit and firing for round one and show the doubters the wisdom of the recruiting department in locking him in for the future.
- Sam Fielding, Hoppers Crossing VIC 

The board. Hopefully Jeff Kennett, Richard Garvey, Justin Reeves and co. can bring some stability at board level. Happy with Kennett back in the chair – he makes things happen.
- Wayne Fidler, Bendigo VIC

Whether Melbourne should have traded Jack Watts.
- Matthew Davidson, Melbourne VIC 

The Dees' mental toughness and ability to deal with expectation.
- Ed Cordner, Melbourne VIC

Whether Brad Scott is the right coach for North.
- Lachlan Coleman, Maffra VIC 

Goldy (Todd Goldstein). Final season to show his All Australian form. Otherwise it's time to move on to Braydon Preuss as No.1 ruckman.
- Andrew Nguyen, Keysborough VIC

Some of our experienced off season pick-ups. Can they reach their best or will they flop? Only time will tell.
- Shaun Murray, Woodville Gardens SA 

Travis Boak. Unbelievable leader, however, he's been playing well below his best. Hopefully the arrivals of Tom Rockliff, Steven Motlop etc. frees him up.
- Ross Millard, Currambine WA 

The jury has been dismissed. All is good at Tigerland.
- Chris Toscas, Newport VIC 

Whether we can avoid the dreaded premiership hangover.
- Michael Ryan, Hoppers Crossing VIC 

Whether you can be a force without any genuine stars of the competition to break games open.
- Alex Sanderson, Cairns QLD 

Paddy McCartin: I think this is a make or break season for him. Also, Nathan Freeman must play this year or I fear his football career may be over.
- Greg Ling, Griffin QLD

Kurt Tippett. Where does he fit best for team balance?
- Andrew Nelson, Orange NSW 

Lance Franklin. Only a flag will justify the dough.
- Archie Noakes, Melbourne VIC 

Whether or not the youngsters can fill the void left by Matt Priddis and Sam Mitchell.
- Stephen Clark, Australind WA 

Lewis Jetta needs a big year to appease his knockers.
- Paul Atherton, Binningup WA 

How we fit Tom Boyd, Jack Redpath and Josh Schache into the forward line.
- Nash Thomas, Mitiamo VIC

The Bulldogs being a united group of players and coaches.
- Raymond Ducas, Taylors Lakes VIC
