2012 Flag Favourites?

[Tazwegian]

Collingwood have just shot to bookies favourites, according to Sportsbet. Whilst Sydney and Hawthorn are dominating Roby's famous Power Rankings. But, who do you think should be the flag favourites after Round 10?

I tend to ignore short term form to make judgements for the long term premiership. All teams at there best have Hawthorn and Collingwood at the top for me with injuries putting Hawks ahead for this years premiership.

WC for me. To me, they look the safest bet for a top two finish and a GF berth. Collingwood also have claims, but they have a tough second half of the season, and I'm not as confident of their ability to finish top two.

Pies are tracking nicely, Hawks are starting to find some form. Still too early to tell with Crows, Eagles and even Dons all in the hunt.

The Unsociable Hawks vs either West Coast or Collingwood, I would be more gutted if the Pies beat us in a GF then WC (but still gutted)

Either Collingwood or Geelong. Hawks/Eagles are the outsiders.

When the Eagles get some important players back in August (namely Kennedy, Embley and Nicoski) we'll be a lot stronger.

I don't doubt our ability to make the GF. However it will be tough to beat Collingwood when we get there.

At this stage any of Collingwood, West Coast, Sydney, Hawthorn, Adelaide and Essendon can win it IMO.

Collingwood or West Coast

Collingwood have the best list and possibly the best backup players, with WC not far behind. Soft tissue injuries wil kill off Essendon toward the end of teh year. Adelaide will inevitably have a form slump at some point and lose some players to injury as all teams do, and that will be their undoing, they don't have the backup of the others
