Personally, I think it will be crazy even competition.
As usual, injuries will be a key factor.
Top 6 for me is pretty clear. 7-12 will fight for the last two spots.
13-18 will fight out for wooden spoon.
Suns – yes, it could another wooden spoon but I will be optimistic. Another preseason under Rigby will start turning boys into men, dream run with injuries, early wins build players confidence, Bowes and Ainsworth have a break out season, Rankine wins rising star, 6-8 wins. I am looking forward watching young talent King, Luko, Rankine, Ainsworth, Bowes, Ballard, Rowell, Anderson play together.
Richmond – primed for premierships next 3 years
Giants – Jacob should improve the ruck – their only weakness
Eagles – with Kelly, Naitanui they are right there
Bulldogs – my tip to win it all together with Tigers, the list looks great
Collingwood – quality is there
Cats – hard to beat at home, still good
Melbourne – bounce back strongly with a healthy list and a full preseason under a new fitness guru, May will do hammy again
Hawtorn – genius Clarko, played well at the end of season, Mitchell back
North – some emerging talented youngsters combined with experience
Lions – for sure their depth will be tested this time, happy for them to finish bottom 6
Essendon – could slide even more as Daniher saga continues
Port – Hinkley’s last season, he could be our next assistant coach
St Kilda – Hill is a great addition but the rest I am not so sure, could surprise under Ratten
Swans – still pumping games into young players, Kennedy, Buddy will show their age
Fremantle – no outside run
Crows – rebuild
Carton- just for melts hopefully wooden spoon belong to them, it can actually happen if they get injuries
