This thread will be:

Hawthorn are really good but too old so they'll drop down. West Coast had a really good year so they'll finish in the top 2 again. Port is Geelong 2006 so they may never lose again. Richmond surely can't get bundled out again in W1 so they'll be in the top 4. Throw in a sprinkle of some average teams that performed okay this year, and you've got a fully renovated top 8 even though at most there's 2 or 3 changes every year.

Oh and it's way too early. Let the season finish first.

Most of us will probably get it wrong anyways, even after trade period lol

Remember how Port got Ryder last year and many of us thought they'll finish 1st? There will probably be hindsight lol moments like that after this trade period too

Trades are already so public these days that you can make educated predictions based on who teams are likely to get.

Its not too crazy to predict a team that didn't play in the grand final to miss the finals next year.

How are Richmond all of a sudden going to finish in the top 4 when they never do anything in the trade period?

 

[billy fragos]

Right now it looks like we are going are going to fall next year because we lost Dangerfield, but then add Aish, Redden, Menzel, Murdoch, Talia and possibly Bennel and we are in contention for a premiership.

Too early to make a prediction.

How the hell are you going to get 5-6 players. Not one of those players are even strongly linked with Adelaide.

What did West Coast do in the 2004 off season to become so dominant in 2005?

What are you talking about? Teams rise and fall all the time. Should everyone do like you and pick the exact same teams in the top 8 but swap out the one that lost a key player?

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

Good sign.No ones picked us for 9th.

 

[coniglio_number1]

What did West Coast do in the 2004 off season to become so dominant in 2005?

Unleashed Rowan Jones

If any coach can achieve this, Ross Lyons can!

Richmond weren't far off this year with this current list, so it won't be a huge surprise if they make it even without doing anything. It's more unlikely than likely though IMO

 

[Lsta062]

What did West Coast do in the 2004 off season to become so dominant in 2005?

Better yet, what did West Coast do in the 2014 off season to become so dominant in 2015?

 

[Ekomaira]

West Coast
Hawthorn
Sydney
Richmond
Adelaide
Freo
North
Port

Because often the teams that are most active in the trade period go backwards, e.g. Collingwood.
