[timokane]

Only these 4 can win the flag in 2026 in no order:

lions
suns
dogs
swans

they are a cut above everyone in 2026.

[Bulldog Joe]

There are some teams showing themselves.

Freo are right in the mix.

I feel there is a real bottom 6 that can only win against each other.

North
West Coast
Carlton
Port
Richmond
Essendon

GWS struggling with injury
St Kilda Collingwood and Melbourne probably middling sides that will beat the bottom 6 and struggle against the top 8.

Top 8 in no particular order (actually current ladder order)
Suns
Dogs
Freo
Sydney
Hawks
Brisbane
Geelong
Adelaide

Got Pies in there 9 or 10 so make the wildcards.
Spoons all essendons.
Carlton now bottom 4.
Both north even eagles on a slight rise.
Still have the battling tigers still bottom 4.
To drop off a tad are hawks and gws.
Home games mean cats around the mark again.
Top 4 or 5:

Suns
Freo
Lions
Swans
Dogs

Flag will be out of these 5.

Kind of drops off after that.

The more I watch, the more it feels like we are just slowly heading to another Brisbane 3peat.

I feel like Sydney and Dogs are offensive powerhouses that will run into a hurdle in a key final when their run is stopped.

GC and Freo are GC and Freo until proven otherwise.

Geelong a touch too reliant on Cameron and Adelaide and Hawks just dont quite have the midfield cattle.

Brisbane will get through the year sitting in 3rd and 4th gear, get to the finals and do it all again.

It's way too early but I have to agree, Brisbane look unbeatable when they are on with insane depth.
