You could probably play around with 7-11 and the bottom 4. But this is my opinion. Adelaide need a year or two to bond with their new coach and game style. Brisbane to be the big mover in my eyes. If their list gels quickly they're certainly in top 8 calculations.

My second and final attempt at a 2015 ladder prediction (which will probably be way off come sept) goes like:
1. Sydney
2. North Melbourne
3. Port Adelaide
4. Gold Coast
5. Hawthorn
6. Adelaide
7. Collingwood
8. West Coast

____________________________________________________

9. Geelong
10. Greater Western Sydney
11. Fremantle
12. Essendon
13. Richmond
14. St. Kilda
15. Brisbane Lions
16. Carlton
17. Western Bulldogs
18. Melbourne

Expecting a few changes in the top 8 this year, seeing as the last 2 or so years haven't had much movement around that area. Also expecting a few hyped up teams to have disappointing seasons.

So everyone who doesn't support Carlton is a deadset nutcase?

Yes, we should listen to the Carlton supporter about why Carlton won't finish low.

Not nuts just all have a preconceived hate for the club that has you wanting Carlton to do poorly where as clubs like the bulldogs & st kilda people don't care about so they are happy to see upside when there is none. In reality none of you have been watching any list thoroughly enough to see any potential upside or not so your lists are a complete waste of time based purely on what you want to happen nothing more or less.

Yes, obviously will be seen as bias as everyone tends to overrate the teams they follow. Our list is primed. We he have 5-6 genuine a graders (Heppell, watson, Goddard, hooker, hibberd and zaka borderline)
And many talented 1st-4th year players who are starting push traditionally vanilla players out of the side.

But the most important factor is that we finally have some depth. Injuries killed us in 2012, governence banhammer killed us in 2013. And our list is better then it was in both of those years. This is the best our list has looked since 2001

Can you please list Hawthorns, Sydney & Freos A Graders in comparison.

Roughhead, Lewis, Mitchell, Gibson, Burgoyne, Hodge, Birchall, Lake, Bruest, Gunston, Rioli.

If Zaka is boarderline then Smith, Hill, Suckling and Frawley.

Ess are miles away from the best - 5-6 does not cut it.

Lost about 6 games by under a goal and had half our list with pre season surgeries hence the slow start. Judd injured, Thomas not 100%, Walker, Carrazzo and a stack of other niggles and lost against GWS, Brisbane early in the season when s**t was pear shaped. But we did start getting into our groove late, and thats when we smacked North, stiff v Geelong, and should have beaten Freo in freo due to c.Wood.

Hey, thats just my take on things.

Roos losing to Carlton was like Carlton losing to GWS. Teams have poor losses during the season - you were ours.

23 points a smacking? We were in the game until late. Good thing is you lost the 4 goals Waite kicked and handed them to us.

Will they be better in close games this year? Have they improved that?
Judd is over the hill, Daisy isn't going to return to the peak of his Collingwood days anytime soon.

I wouldn't say getting into your groove late is a sign the upcoming season will be better. I'd say they got to the point where finals weren't realistic and they had nothing to lose.
