Hmm, guess I"ll have a go at some prediction, though it will be way off, there is always some team that surprises...

I reckon Geelong will slide a bit, though I've been saying that for the past couple of years and it hasn't happened, so...

Carlton will do much better than 10th, I'd put them around 3rd or 4th.

Saints and Bulldogs to fall a bit (more), this season I think. I also think Richmond will do relatively well, they've got to at some point don't they?

1. Hawthorn
2. Collingwood
3. West Coast
4. Carlton
5. Geelong
6. Fremantle
7. Richmond
8. Sydney
9. Roos
10. Adelaide
11. Melbourne
12. Saints
13. Essendon
14. Bulldogs
15. Gold Coast
16. Brisbane
17. Port
99. GWS

I think Fremantle and Richmond will be smokeys this year don't be suprised if Fremantle competes extremely well this year if they can stay away from the injuries that hurt them so much last couple of seasons I believe west coast may fall a bit as last season they seemed to be taken lightly and suprised teams at the beginning of the year. Geelong will just keep doing what they've doing and Hawthorne will be a real threat again this year


1. Hawthorn
2. Collingwood
3. Geelong
4. Carlton
5. Fremantle
6. Richmond
7. West coast
8. Sydney
9 Melbourne
10. Kangaroos
11. Saints
12. Essendon
13. Bulldogs
14. Adelaide
15. Gold coast
16. Brisbane
17. Port Adelaide
18. GWS

I'm a Dockers man, Brooksy and I think you called it well. My initial thoughts:

1. Geelong
2. Hawthorn
3. Collingwood
4. Sydney
5. Fremantle
6. Western Bulldogs
7. Essendon
8. West Coast
9. Carlton
10. St. Kilda
11. Brisbane
12. Adelaide
13. Melbourne
14. North Melbourne
15. Richmond
16. Port Adelaide
17. Gold Coast
18. GWS

Before Dockers came into league I was a huge Crows fan. Would love to see them finish higher than my above prediction

EDIT: Added North Melbourne

I'm a Crows fan and unless we have massive improvements in the midfield we won't get near the 8. We got killed in the clearances last season.

I think we'll be a lot better in that - training is so rough now compared to what it used to be, so our players should be able to get in there and get the hard ball a lot better. I'm confident, I really am.

There is always one team that seems to go from rubbish to good in a season - as a West Coast fan I would have been dragged to the loony bin if I'd suggested we would be top 4 before last season...

Not sure if that team will be Adelaide, though they have doen well in the NAB cup, not that that means a great deal

In my view the NAB cup has little value. The Magpies and the Cats were both slaughtered. Means nothing. Adelaide does like good though...

Yeah, I'm not really basing anything off our NAB cup form, except for two things:

1) The game plan appears to be what Sanderson promised, i.e. a lot tougher and harder at the ball, and so much more kicking than under Craig;
2) Our players aren't injured! Porplyzia's actually on the field! Hooray!
