Pre-season I had Pies to win it, Cats as the dark horse for the flag and dark horse to play finals Brisbane. None of those now would be considered dark horses, and my pick still remains the Mighty Magpies.
Next pick would be the Catters whom I'm tipping to finish as runners up. I'll have the Bombers as the smokey team that could do some damage and was very confident after that when they almost knocked off the Pies on ANZAC Day. Disappointing since then however, but I won't draw a line through them just yet. Being just a game outside the 8 they can't be considered a smokey for the finals anymore either. Perhaps a smokey as a joker in the pack, a dangerous dice if you will.
Love the Western Bulldogs and have enjoyed them this season. Been a pleasant surprise and pushed Collingwood and Freo to the brink, snagged good back to back wins in the last fortnight too.
Adelaide have had a renaissance of sorts and kick started their season in Eddie's 300th against the Suns. They're a side that many got prematurely excited about as they did last year opening at 2-0. The Crows have a good draw and could make the Prelims with a bit of luck and possibly even the Granny but I don't foresee a victory by any means. That's best case scenario for me.
Dees only a game outside the 8 and Sydney two after horrid starts. Not even they would be considered smokey's for the 8. The season is a fair chunk in now so we've had a look at many teams and their form speaks for itself.
Freo have come thudding back down to earth and up until a week ago I thought they were going to be the spanner in the works in Season 2019. A week's a long time in footy however and if they beat the Dons, that swings things again. Whoever loses that game will have some soul searching to do as it will either be 4 straight losses for the Bombers, or 3 straight for Freo. Both will still be right in the hunt for finals but.

Like Your posts Mac but cmon Man ! Even the most unexpected Premiers have had a certain steel about them.

Your guys will be lucky to make the 8.Geelong's to lose at this very early stage, but still early days. I don't feel the Pies are up to it, GWS lack something, and we need to start playing with more intensity for four quarters. Richmond have too many injuries. Hard to see any others have a real shot at it.
Your guys will be lucky to make the 8.
Quite easily, I'd imagine. They are playing bog average footy and still 6-3. They have good players to come back and we know they have an extra gear (not just from last year, but against Collingwood and GWS), the only question mark is whether this form is the norm for the year or just them warming up; if it's the norm, then they'll just be making up the numbers.west coast will make 8

Flag: Richmond, Geelong, Pies
Find it odd people are writing off Richmond - are the best side by a country mile with a full list. If they can stay within top 6 whilst their players return I would not want to be running into them in the back end of the year.
Smokey for finals: Essendon
Not as bad as they’re making out to be right now. But still middle of the road.
And if they do Collingwood will be eliminatedYour guys will be lucky to make the 8.
Yeah maybe.Writing us off eh?
I concur. As it does every year, it'll be determined by which of those teams times their run into September.I dont think you can write off any of Eagles, Pies, Cats, Giants, Tigers for the flag, but 99% confident the flag is coming from one of those 5 teams.
Exactly. Home and away form doesnt matter too much as long as you still get the wins. See Adelaide 2017 and Richmond 2018 for examples of it not mattering much.I concur. As it does every year, it'll be determined by which of those teams times their run into September.
