Alright, I'll bite.

Hawthorn - still the best
North Melbourne - glamour side of the year
Port Adelaide - taking the next step to the top 4
Fremantle - will slip up in the big games a bit
Bulldogs - big jump!
Collingwood - status quo
Brisbane - gabba to be a fortress again
Richmond - escape 9th
=====================================
Sydney - average
Adelaide - can't see them go up or down really
Carlton - malthouse rebuild
Geelong - big disappointment
West Coast - new coach, takes time to gel
Gold Coast - promising, but not finals ready yet
Melbourne - roos will give them a bit of spirit, still work to do
Essendon - won't recover too well from 2013
St.Kilda - basketcase
GWS - buddy: "what the hell have i done?!?!"

Hawthorn v Port GF, Hawks go back to back

Richmond, Collingwood, and North are by no means a lock for top 8 positions. And I hate to say this, but you could possibly even throw us in that basket too should we have a poor year injury-wise (Hawkins and our rucks are the big ones here) and our younger players struggle to come to grips with additional responsibilities/roles as a result of several retirements.

On an unrelated note, going to have to revise my earlier ladder prediction now the trade period is largely completed and I've had time to sit down and think.

There was a big gap between 4th and 5th and a massive gap between 5th and the rest.
Geelong beat Port and Sydney beat Carlton in second gear in the finals.
The only team that can seriously challenge for top 4 are Richmond, but their game didn't stand up in finals.

Not sure why there would be doom & gloom for Geelong...Corey had clearly had enough, Pods was getting kicks at half back...IMO if Motlop produces next year he will overtake Cyril as the gun small bloke, Hawkins will be fit etc etc.

Adelaide and West Coast have to improve.
The only doubt I have is about Essendon. They haven't finished off a season in how long and next years interchange cap will impact them the most because they rely so heavily on 1 or 2 mids.
