Adelaide are decent. Dees, injured Dogs, Fremantle, Suns and Lions.
Have St.K, Eesendon and Carlton on the horizon but the test will be after that. Sydney (A), Richmond, Geelong (A), Hawthorn, Adelaide (A), West Coast (A) all in a row. Tough stretch.
Bit of a weak year this year in terms of depth of teams pushing for finals.
Usually, there is some jostling within the top 4, some jostling over position 4, 5 and 6. And competition across 7, 8, 9, 10 and maybe 11.
This year Richmond, Port and Collingwood will not compete for the 7 and 8 spots.
Freo is gone.
GWS and GC may and below them would be the Saints and Melb.
You can almost call the top 8 now.
1. North
2. Cats
3. WC
4. Sydney
5. Hawks
6. Dogs
7. Crows
8. GWS
This means that it's probably one of the easier years to win a premiership. The top 8 ar fairly even. It can just go your way on the day.
