9. Geelong. The start of the end. They have been a great team but will slide out of contention. Clark is a good in but they have lost their runners varcoe and christensen. Cockatoo could be anything and will play rd 1.Bartel, enright, kelly and johnson will retire within the next 2 years.
10. Richmond. Hardwicks last season at the helm. Cant see them taking the next step. Lack genuine forwards bar riewoldt. Played an absolute stinker against port in the final this year.
11. Collingwood. Their improvement will come from their younger players broomhead, grundy, elliot, kennedy, adams, reid, scharenberg, moore. Good in about 5 years. Cloke, swan and pendles holding it together. Beams out is massive.
12. Carlton. Another year of mediocrity. List is ageing and no genuine key forwards. Trigg will fitin nicely.
13. Brisbane. Exciting young midfield and defence just have no big forwards. Christensen and beams big ins. Aish to star and leave at seasons end.
14. Essendon. Trying to buy a shot at finals with cooney and chapman losing ryder is a big.blow. Asada hearings will take their toll.
15. Melbourne. Its slowly coming together, looking forward to seeing hogan play.
16. Western Bulldogs. Good young midfield and
finally got their power forward, boyd. Not good
enough yet. Griffen out will hurt.
17. Gws. Nobody but cameron to kick it to. By seasons end alot of talent will be going home.
18. St kilda. Its going to be a long year.
Brownlow. Dangerfield/ablett

Why are people rating Fremantle so highly. But for sure they had their last chance, then again maybe they will put 2014 behind them an focus on 2015. Rest of the ladders seem right. Of course with us Adelaide, it all depends if we can win the ones that matter most hard to predict where Adelaide will finish next year, could be anywhere from 2nd to 12th.
Port, Sydney, Hawthorn are near certain locks in the top 4, but of course expect the unexpected.

Lock it in. They'll make the eight in a canter given 1) the diluted talent pool of the eighteen team comp 2) their exceptional system which draws the absolute best out of spuds and 3) Nat Fyfe and Michael Walters.
Not disputing they might fall down in a heap given old bodies and said spuds under the pressure of finals footy but that's another kettle of fish.

Done.
Port still have no depth.. look what happened last year when wantfrees, trengrve and Carlise went down mid year.. they lost 4 out of 5 games.
They have a lot of expectation in 2015... fingers crossed they cant handle it.
I agree with this GWS assessment.....something tells me that GC will spike big time and a monster will be unleashed. I'm tipping GC to push the top 4

1. Sydney (stung by their shocking gf performance, I think they'll lose a maximum of 4 games this season)
2. Port (their list is rock solid in every area of the ground - absolute lock for top 4)
3. North Melbourne (some might see this as a stretch, but unless injuries strike hard, they'll certainly make another prelim)
4. Hawthorn (I'm tipping a rough year injury-wise, with a hint of premiership hangover, and they still make the top 4)
5. Fremantle (would love to put them lower, but they are still going to be hard to beat)
6. Gold Coast (I really like their list, and would not be shocked if they went as high as 4th)
7. Richmond (absolute locks for 5th - 9th so I'll plug them in the middle of that range)
8. Adelaide (we are a 6th - 10th team in 2015 IMO - tipping better things in 2016)
9. Geelong (they got rorted on the Christensen trade, and then on-traded that awful pick for Rhys Stanley after getting Mitch Clark to play the role Rhys Stanley would be expected to play. Huh? Everyone is a year older, and guys like Bartel, Stevie J, Lonergan, Mackie, Enright are all well past their best. Will probably prove me wrong and finish 5th but I'm predicting the slide now)
10. Brisbane (the midfield is now arguably the best in the league and I'm also a massive fan of McStay and Clarke - could sneak into the 8 but this will more likely take place in 2016)
11. West Coast (until they unearth another 2-3 legitimate midfielders, they'll be 7th-12th every year)
12. Essendon (no idea what's happening with penalties, but even if they get off lightly I'm not predicting finals)
13. Collingwood (Buckley is a dead man walking. Some very talented youngsters, but losing Beams will sting and until Grundy, Broomhead, Freeman, Scharenberg and co get to 50 games plus it's going to be GWS-like for the pies)
14. Melbourne (finishing outside the bottom 4 would be a pretty good achievement in 2015 and I think they might just sneak it)
15. Carlton (s**t list, a coach who is past it, and a constant refusal to address their issues. If they go higher than 13th I'll eat my hat)
16. GWS (still not ready - have done a pretty awful job at building the right age profile in their early years tbh. 5 top 25 picks again this year was ridiculous - trade 1, 2 or even 3 of them for 23-26 year olds FFS!)
17. Western Bulldogs (full rebuild mode)
18. St Kilda (if they win 5 games I'll be shocked - every other team is a pretty good chance of winning 5 so I'll tip the saints for the spoon)

Wishful thinking on your part. Will be tougher for Port than Crows as Crows' draw is designed to give them a leg-up into the top eight.Port won't make the top-6...

Port are yet to be really challenged with injuries, there best 22 is very good however depth is yet to be fully tested

Any club can get injuries this year so it's an even playing field from that department. Plus Burgo is a mastermind at managing and preventing injuries which is why Port didn't have many last year. Port has enough depth, there are players itching for opportunity. Port's issue was Ruck/ forward once Trengove was out and unable to assist Lone Lobbe in ruck (our other rucks long term injury) therefore requiring Westhoff to do so rather than lay forward/ swingman. That issue has now been addressed. You are perhaps assuming that Crows will be injury free but Crows are as likely as any team to get injuries again this year and they definitely don't have the depth. They do a have a very easy draw that could see them get a place in the finals, but where they go from there, I have real doubts. Crows might be better in 2016, but Port I will put my money on for 2015, in spite of their tough draw.
Bollocks. Take your one eyed bandwagon views elsewhere..
