Won't do the ladder as I am not 100% sure of the draw but I'll do the range and a short summation of each team
Adelaide: Don't rate that highly but definitely have potential for improvement on last year (jeez it's 2014

). Range:6-13
Brisbane: Lost quite a bit of depth and haven't gained many proven players although doing ok from the draft from all reports. Thought they would come on in 13' but really did nothing of note. Range 9-16
Carlton: Interesting season coming up for the Blues. Personally I think they have many vastly overrated players and never feel overly stressed when they play the Hawks. However with the addition of a fit Thomas(?) and other best 22 players in Everitt and Docherty, who knows. Another problem for them imo is that their better players are getting too old. Won't win a flag with this group. Range: 4-9
Collingwood: Lost Thomas and Shaw who may seem like big losses but Thomas has been injured for the last two seasons and Shaw is rapidly declining with a undisciplined attitude so they won't be as big a losses many think. Did well in the draft apparently and picked up Adams who could be anything and White who can do a job (although this was said about Lynch last year). Range 3-8
Essendon: Who knows? How will the ASADA findings/stress affect them? Picked up Chappy and lost Crameri and Gumbleton which is more of a loss than a win imo. Didn't do much of note in the draft either. At their best they are very good (they were 2nd after R16 or something) but their worst is awful. Range 4-14. Not much would surprise me with the Bombers next year
Fremantle: Were the form team in the 2nd half of the year and despite playing an awful Grand Final, still only lost by a couple of goals. Some great young players in Fyfe, Walters and De Boer and have added Sylvia and Gumbleton. Also a few older players that may start declining in Pav, McPharlin and Sandilands but can't see them dropping too much. Range 1-5
Geelong: Every year, we predict them to slide but it hasn't happened of yet. Got some good young players coming through in Smedts and Caddy and imo have only lost older players that aren't premiership quality and Trent West. Also have a good culture. Range 1-6
GWS: Apart from Cameron, haven't really impressed me tbh. Another pre-season under the belt but would surprise me if they did anything of note. Range 16-18
Gold Coast. Some are putting in the Top 8 but imo they aren't quite up to it. O'Meara, Martin and a couple of others will continue to improve but overall their list still isn't a Top 8 one. Range 9-13
Hawthorn: Some key outs in Buddy, Guerra and even Bailey but have gained McEvoy who is an upgrade on Bailey and have done well in the draft considering their picks. Also key players in Hodge, Mitchell, Bugoyne, Lake are another year older. However are still a very good side and are as good a chance as anyone bar maybe Fremantle and Sydney to win the flag. Range 1-6
Melbourne: Not convinced that Roos will be able to turn this rabble around. Poor culture and an even worse list. Clark back will be a bonus but the midfield is the problem. Range 16-18
North Melbourne: Not sure that my expectations on them are as high as everyone elses but if they don't make the 8, Scott will be gone. Swallow is a massive loss and their best player who gets tagged is about 36 which says a lot imo. In saying all that, I expect them to make the 8. Range 4-9
Port Adelaide: Who would have thought they could have such a good year in 2013. Not me. I think they did overachieve a bit but due to natural progression will improve somewhat and probably finish around the same position as in 2013. Range 5-10
Richmond: Really rate this young Richmond team. Players like Vlaustin and Conca will be household names in a few years. Couple this with and easy draw and I think they are a big chance for Top 4 and can't see them missing out on the 8. Range 3-7
St Kilda: What's the saying? Up shit creek....... A few years ago put all of their eggs in the winning a flag basket and now have to suffer the consequences. Seemed keen to get rid of McEvoy who was one of their few decent players left despite having a poor year and ended up getting Longer who could barely get a game for Brisbane (he is young though). Have blooded a lot of youth but I cant remember many getting a rising stay nomination. Also their older good players from 5 years ago are rapidly declining. Range 15-18
Sydney: Have made the use of their COLA and topped up nicely. Very strong best 22 with Buddy not to mention the players coming back from injury that screwed up their 2013. If they get similar injuries though depth will be sorely tested. Range 1-4
Western Buldogs:Liked their improvement and development of young players which has set them apart from Melbourne and StKilda. Still think they are at least a year off finals though. Range 9-13
West Coast: Don't think they will be contending for a few years. Very weak midfield and a lot of Vanilla players. One upside is that a few are coming back from injury from memory. Range 8-14
