Yeh actually still think hawks are the team to beat. Sydney great squad on paper. Port lack quality depth depth but if still think they have a very solid 25 and their top 10-15 is as good as any IMO.Good points raised Keystone.
The only issue with Port is that they do lack depth and have not been tested with a heavy injury toll since Hinkley took over. Even last year towards the latter half of the season when they had a few injuries they lost games they probably should have won. When the Hawks were decimated with injuries they were still a very competitive unit and truly have a well tested depth.
Where do you think the Crows will finish under a new coach? I think they have the list to go anywhere from 7th to 11th.
I think GWS could potentially make the top 8 this year, thats my fairly big call. I think if they can get Hanyes back, Davis back to his best with Mohr (is he injured) with Patful they have very good talls. Their forward line talls: Cameron back to best, continued development of Tomlinson and Patton is tracking better than expected with an amazing midfield and smalls across the field i think they could be the dark horse of the comp this year. I think they will be better than GC 2014 and they wernt far off.
Crows are really hard team to predict. Think they lack in too many areas for me. Id have them just outside the 8 without looking to see who actually will get in there. With such a tight comp its hard to say.
I might be bias but im pretty certain Hawks, Freo, Sydney, Port and Essendon can be written down as top 8 finishes. Kangaroos should be there but i doubt they will cause any damage in finals. The next 2 spots up for grabs i think GWS could well be one of them if things go well. Geelong always seem to make it but one year they wont, Eagles? Adelaide? the others teams i like.
