So everyone will have there say on who will be the bolters who is overrated and who will fall off a cliff.
I'll keep my OP brief and put it into bullet points so here goes.
I'll keep my OP brief and put it into bullet points so here goes.
- GWS will still not be the dominant force many predicted. Will still be there or there abouts but might just choke again when it counts.
- Adelaide got there pants pulled down on Grand Final day by Richmond, have been exposed like we were in 2003, I think they'll make the eight but they won't really challenge like last year.
- Sydney Hard to predict one way or another where they'll go, looked finish the first half of last year, then were clearly the best side in it for the second half and played beautiful football when they smashed Essendon in the first final, cracks are appearing, I expect them to scratch their way to the eight, maybe top four but too old to go the distance.
- Richmond I think they were the Dogs of last year, I expect a hangover not as bad, but lets be honest they weren't the best team in it.
- Port Adelaide I think they bounced back well last year, I think they could push for top four, given the comp is open they could go all the way, but they seem flaky when it counts.
- Geelong Are not in the race, forget signing up Ablett, he's just about cooked. I think they'd just about be the worst side in it if you took out Dangerfield and Selwood.
- Essendon Great spine, weak midfield and poor around the flanks even with their recruits, their last week of the preseason has been a disaster, I think they'll be also rans.
- Melbourne I'm a big fan of their list, top four this year.
- Collingwood I rate our list too, not as highly as Melbourne but we should make the eight, get on us to beat the Hawks in Round one and to make the eight. Looks like we are getting a good run with injuries hellalula.
- Dogs How did they fluke a flag? They made a number of poor list management decisions before winning one, Tom Boyd, Travis Cloke anyone? Will miss the eight.
- All the rest, including Hawthorn are not even worth talking about, except the Saints who could be a bolter in the early part of the season.
