Home ground advantage, less absences due to covid, not tanking like this year and usual umpire assist will see them win more games this year

Oh dear
Doubt it. You won't finish bottom two.. North isn't as bad as they appeared this year and Logue + 2 more good young mids will see you move up.

How are West Coast better next year ?
Surely West Coast and Roos. Maybe GWS in the bottom 4.

I agree I’m just saying and quoting that bombers fan that if we do god forbid finish badly again then our assistance package might actually be taken seriously this time
And given what we should have got this time a start of first pp

Start barracking for us next year otherwise that becomes a reality

Fair enough. Can think of 7 sides that did not happen to in my time but i can see why you weight this high for your prediction.

West coast can't be this garbage for a 2nd year in a row.
I expect west coast to do a Freo of 2017-8 and get 8 wins.

SURELY the only way is up from 2022 for Eagles.
who knows though.
I'm hoping the older guys fire and the kids can show a bit and we are just in games instead of being 12 goals to 2 at half time like the first half of 22
2nd half of 22was promising despite losing. Tackle numbers up and effort there just lack of skill and game plan.
Game plan is an interesting one. Hope Simmo can re invent himself a bit.
If we're 1 or 2 wins by Rd 15 it could be bye bye

We won't finish last. Way too much is being made of those who have departed. We have the worst midfield in the comp and have for a number of years and they were an integral part of it. Gunston missed all of 2021 and we won as many games as this year. There's enough talent to be competitive just not enough star power yet.

Is that the same reality where the AFL was giving you #1 as priority this year it was just a question on if they give you pick 2 as well?

Sure only this time they won’t be able to give us the same rubbish package

Mel- safe bet.
Bl- feel like they will either capitulate completey, or break through the grand final.
Geel- because I’m not gonna look like an idiot and write them off again.
Rich- good in’s and lost a lot of close games last year. Think hawthorn 2018.
Syd- will be spooked by the grand final but a young side should bounce back soon.
Carl- those last two games will haunt them all summer.
Coll- probably had them missing before the finals, but finals proved they deserved to be there.
Gc- this is the year they will finally make it.
Port- not sold, still went 9-8 after round 5.
Fre - lost a few players, none too significant will take a step back to go forward.
Adel - will start to rise. Have them top 4 in a few years,
Wbo - where lucky to make the 8. My sliders.
Ess - may get a slightly easier draw. scott will try build a system for the long run, even If it means sacrificing our biennial elimation final flogging.
Stk - the potential inclusion of Ross has made this hard. A bit in no man’s late. Should go back to the draft.
Gws- will have a sugar hit with a new coach, but have lost too much talent to put them higher.
Haw - have been criticised for getting rid of there older players, but it will be a great move in the long run, see freo.
Nm- I don’t know, whoever got the spoon out of them and wce will probably avoid it next year.
Wce- no Kennedy hurts. However they will rebuild quick and probably win a flag in four years.

They still don't have a decent second KPF and their back line is still suspect.
Daniher and Hipwood are more than solid, Gunston is a good get
I think the main area of concern is defensive transition
Hipwood is fine, Gunston is a medium forward - and yes, very good. Daniher has been a one way runner his whole career and the club lighting a fire under him won't change that. Imo, of course.

1.Brisbane: Clear winners of the trade period imo, Dunkley takes some weight off of Neale and Gunston takes pressure off Cameron and Daniher. With both of these they also get the no.1 draft pick, couldn't ask for much more. Although if they underperform again surely it's bye bye Fagan. (1-4)
2.Melbourne: Still a genuinely fantastic side, their forward line still has question marks which puts their flag credentials at risk. How grundy and gawn perform together continues to be one of the most interesting questions going into next season. (1-5)
3. Richmond: Another trade period winner, addressed their biggest need. Having lynch for a full year and dusty possibly recovering puts them in contention. (although it's equally as possible dusty continues his fall in which case Richmond probably finish 4-7). (1-7)
4. Geelong: I'm unsure whether they'll still have the hunger going into next year after their ever allusive flag chase finally comes to an end, doubtless they continue to have a quality list. (1-7)
5. Carlton: This list is good enough, a coleman and brownlow medalist. 2022 seemed to come undone due to injuries, if they stay fit they should be fighting for top 4, finals is a minimum expectation. (2-8)
6. Freo: Another top 4 aspirant, unsure if they filled their forward line needs in the off-season (especially with losing lobb) and a lot falls on Jackson to deliver. Fyfe coming back fit could be massive, though i'm unsure if he can. (4-10)
7. Collingwood: Lot's of close games which you wouldn't expect them to win again, a harder draw, older players continue to age and no more new coach bounce. Although with their final's performance you would be hopeful they can recreate a top 4 finish, one of the harder teams to predict next year. A higher ceiling than fremantle, but a lower floor. (2-12)
8. Sydney: History shows getting smashed in a grand final results in a disappointing follow up year. However they are still young and could easily place a few spots above this. (4-12)
9. Port Adelaide: Probably underperformed at the start of last year which cost them their finals spot, they were 1st in 2020 and 2nd in 2021 and they could bounce back with a slightly easier draw. (6-12)
10. Bulldogs: Fully fit bont should make a difference, however losing your first placed bnf is never a good thing. I expect they finish similar to last year, fighting for finals. (6-12)
11. Suns: losing rankine is probably offset by gaining King, a young core which should continue to improve. Another finals aspirant, however their disappointing offseason has me ranking them below the other teams fighting for the 8. (6-12)
12. Saints: An average team, maybe ross the boss can take them back to the soaring heights of 6th however it's equally as likely they have another disappointing season. (6-14)
13. Essendon: I really don't know what to make of the dons after their disappointing year, another team I find hard to judge. (7-15)
14. Adelaide: if we were judging based on forward lines we probably make finals, unfortunately 2/3 of our team are still 1-2 years away. (9-14)
15. WCE: Senior players were immensely disappointing, however they may come back fitter and less covid interrupted. (14-18)
16. GWS: A poor year, followed up by a poor offseason. Not looking good. (15-18)
17. North: It's highly unlikely for a team to get 3 wooden spoons in a row, I probably would've put them 18th if it wasn't for the offseason of another team. (15-18)
18. Hawks: You simply cannot cut the amount of experience they did without severe impact to your results, however I suspect this is by design. (15-18)
2.Melbourne: Still a genuinely fantastic side, their forward line still has question marks which puts their flag credentials at risk. How grundy and gawn perform together continues to be one of the most interesting questions going into next season. (1-5)
