The Usual Suspects: Sydney, Port, Hawks and Freo. I think the top 4 is pretty stock standard, with only North really challenging for that extra spot with Hawthorn. I think the hawks have done in well in 2014 to make another GF given their circumstances; without Clarkson for 6 weeks, injuries, tough draw, aging list. It is a testament to their culture and development of lower draft picks. Port will have another year gaining good experience for there exciting future, but in my opinion this is freos time to shine. There list is primed to make a claim for the premiership, with key personel in Pav, Sandilands and Mundy coming toward the end of there careers, a huge season is needed.

The Future: North, Dogs, Gold coast and Pies. Both McCartney and McKenna (assuming he is still at the helm) will be about to prove their worth next year with a bold move up the ladder. With pressure mounting on both coaches with reasonable lists its a given its finals or bust for the men in charge. Regardless of whether they will still be there in two years time, they are coaching for there lives at this point (much similar to Damien Hardwick in 2013 with the tiges). North will have expected improvement and Collingwood is my wild card for the top 8.

The Surprise: Richmond. As most of you would think they would continue to improve with more games to there younger top picks, I being the curious tiges fan I'm think we are in for a horror year. Call me paranoid, but nothing would be more embarrassing than plummeting to the depths of the bottom of the ladder after 5 years of steady progress. And unfortunately i can imagine it happening. Who else other then us really.

A brief analysis of what I think 2015 has in store for us all. Comment your own ladders and discuss away!!
 
Too early. Trade week can change things pretty dramatically.

If Clark and Frawley land at Hawthorn for example? Or Beams and Ryder get to Brisbane? What if Dangerfield decides to jump and get Crows a trade before he hits free agency?

Hard to judge because we just don't know what will happen with the SCNs but.....

My pre-trade and draft period ladder:

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

I just think that if players get banned then will will struggle until they return and then struggle a little afterwards as well as half the players won't have done a pre-season.

Don't want to give a whole list.

Essendon to finish anywhere from 7th and the team no one wants to play in the first week of finals to 16th and utterly horrible.
