But they are not going to make it. Freo will so will St Kilda.
Have you seen their draw?
I really like St.Kilda's list for the future and would've had them as a monty to make the top 8 before the fixtures came out, but receiving the 3rd hardest draw according to Champion Data will make it tough. If they play finals they will damn sure have earned it.
And North bottom 4.... I can only LOL
Why? It's where most of the bookies have you.
North have arguably the worst youth stocks in the league (just 10 AFL games combined from your last 2 crops of draftees [yes I know they've had injuries]) and once again drafted project-player flanker types in the 2nd/3rd rounds the other night who will struggle to make an immediate impact. You lost your best midfielder in Wells and lost a heck of a lot of experience through the "retirements" of Harvey, Dal Santo, Petrie and Firrito.
North's list doesn't look very good, certainly not for season 2017 anyway. An easy draw (probably THE easiest) is the only thing that may help you avoid bottom 4.
