St K - With such a talented list, they must at least play in the GF or it's time to say goodbye to Thomas. A fit Kossie is the key. IMO their most important big man. Riewoldt must not be given the captaincy it seemed a crazy decision in the first place when you have the likes of Hayes, Ball, Kossie and Hamill.
West Coast - Even with an ordinary forward line, they're midfield should guarantee a top 4 finish.
Adelaide - Excellent midfield and backline. No Pav, Brown, Riewoldt up forward but still very dangerous - Kenny, Welsh, Trent and Pez can all kick 4-5 on their day. Hard forward line for the opposition to match up on. Must blood more youth. The clock if ticking fast.
Sydney - Top 4 again. Will be around the mark again. Ball will be huge loss.
Brissie - Will improve in '06. Still a great midfield and some genuine match winners in their spine. Needs a fully fit/suspension free Brown available for the majority of the year.
Geelong - Ottens must fire and must spend the majority of the year up forward. Solid midfield, good backline.
Port Power - Will be a threat come September. Needs to capitalise in the next 2-3 years before their best player in Tredrea reaches the end. Not a good time to be rebuilding the midfield as that will probably take 2-3 years. How S Burgoyne goes in the middle could well be a major factor in their 2006 fortunes.
Melbourne - Same as 05. Will look like world beaters one week and then play poorly the following.
Freo - Make or break for Connolly. Must at least make the 8. I don't think they will.
Kangas - Not sure how to rate them. Can't see that Hay will add a hell of alot. Similar year to 05.
Western Bulldogs - Quality young midfield. I see their lack of spine as their major concern. Overrated.
Essendon - Poor midfield. Not really impressed with their players in the under 22 age bracket. If Lloyd, Hird or Fletcher miss alot of games they may even slide further.
Collingwood - Some quality young talls. No midfield.
Hawthorn - Quality young list. Could well be a future powerhouse but not for at least 2-3 years. Need to get rid of Vanderberg as captain, embarrasing.
Richmond - I expect a slide. Their midfield looks okay but their spine is non-existent.
Carlton - Poor list. Bottom 2 is a certainty.

I'm not sure what to do guys. I'm going o/s for uni next year, but can either go in the middle of the season, or leave in August. The place that I would be going to in August might be better, but what if we make the grand final??
