Port - Think they can go all the way next year
Sydney - Still a top team
Fremantle - One last crack at
Hawthorn - Still a quality team however 1 year older, looked to be aging a bit against port
North Melbourne - Will be thereabouts with a strong young midfield group
Gold Coast - Its there time for finals
Richmond - Came good towards the end of the season, still not quite up to the top teams yet
West Coast - my bias, but should be thereabouts

Adelaide - New coach, may take some time to come on, look out for 2016
Geelong - Think this could finally be the year they slip
GWS - Came on well at the end of last year, time for them to rise
Collingwood - With the big turnover of the list in recent times and beams possibly getting traded may slip down the ladder
Carlton - Middling team Judd a year older
Brisbane - If they get Beams expect them to rise a bit and be hard to beat at the GABBA
Essendon - Think they may slip with all the ASADA stuff.
Western Bulldogs - Didnt progress last year need there youngsters to come on.
St Kilda - Young list, will take time to build
Melbourne - Still a couple of years away from doing something think they will win about 5 games

I'll reserve more specific predictions for later, as a general tip:

Port, Sydney (contenders)

North, Hawthorn, Gold Coast (next tier)

Geelong, Fremantle, Essendon, West Coast, Western Bulldogs (battling for final 3 spots in the 8)

Richmond, Adelaide, Brisbane (competitive teams who are all capable of playing finals, but I predict all 3 teams will see the year as a vital one for 2016 - think the Tiges will have a bit of list turnover)

Carlton, Collingwood, GWS (fighting to stay out of the bottom 4)

Melbourne, St Kilda (don't think either club can get 6+ wins, lack experience to win enough winnable matches)

1. Carlton - #17 of course! Mitchell to win Norm Smith. Please ignore if you are not a Blue :).
2. Sydney - will be very hard to beat again until the end of COLA and their great players start demanding fair pay (Buddy rates! Parker is worth $600+K a season at any other team, etc.)
3. Hawthorn - so much talent across the park but Mitchell and Hodge may fade in 2015 and they are still game winners
4. Port Adelaide - could win it on a good day, but they will need a lot of luck with a tougher draw
5. Fremantle - cannot see where they will improve?
6. Brisbane - Will improve again and Beams adds experience to a good list of kids
7. GC - assume Ablett OK all year plus natural development
8. Geelong - work in progress for a few years but so much talent they will not fade.

9. Richmond - it just seems right :)
10. Kanga's - key talent is getting too old (last hurrah was 2014)
11. Western Bulldogs - will keep improving
12. GWS - they are coming...
13. Adelaide - Dangerfield circus all year!
14. West Coast - Will be soft without Cox
15. Collingwood - if they lose Beams for #4 and steak knifes
16. Essendon - ASADA have to act next year???
17. Melbourne - young team need games
18. St Kilda - ditto, chasing draft picks like its 2000 again!
 
Too early for ladder predictions, but I'll give a tiered setup of where i think teams will be (thereabouts).

Contenders: Port, Sydney, Hawthorn
Chasers for that 4th spot: Kangaroos, Fremantle, Gold Coast
Teams looking to be in the bottom half of the 8 making up the numbers: Geelong, West Coast, Collingwood, Carlton
Teams that have top 8 ambitions but likely won't be good enough: Essendon, Richmond, Adelaide
Teams that know they're rebuilding and trying to get into that top half of the bottom 10: Bulldogs, Brisbane
Wooden spoon candidates: GWS, St. Kilda, Melbourne
 
I think people are underrating us,
come on now we have a brownlow medalist.

Shuey will become a top 10-15 player next year. If we get close to full years out of Nicnat,darling,kennedy,hurn,mackenzie,yeo,lecras and waters i think we'll go close to top 4 tbh. It's paying very good money atm too.

(im specifically putting this in this thread purely so i can quote it next year)
