You had to list

2. Who will be in the top 5 - Geelong - Pies - Hawks - Lions - Port

3. who will win the spoon - Dee's

4. who will win the brownlow - Judd

5. who will win the colmen - a tie Fev and Browny

6. who will win the Rising star - Tomahawk

7. what will be the biggest story of 2008 - Sadly another player/players on drugs



Ok now you have a go

 

[Tonycam*]

Agree with most of your BDP

1. who will win the 08 flag - Geelong

2. Who will be in the top 5 - Geelong - Hawks - St Kilda - Coll - (Freo or Ess)

3. who will win the spoon - Melbourne

4. who will win the brownlow - Dal Santo

5. who will win the colmen - Fev with Brown close 2nd

6. who will win the Rising star - Hawkins (if not then Jetta)

7. what will be the biggest story of 2008 - Hawthorn lose to the Mighty Cats on the big day in September by record margin. (bow to us Hawks).

 

[burto]

I don't see why everyone thinks Collingwood, Tassie, Lions, and Port will perform so well.

Apart from Collingwood, the rest are shit.

My top 4 would be something like Geelong, Eagles, Collingwood, Sydney/North.

Anyway:

1. who will win the 08 flag - Geelong

2. Who will be in the top 5 - Cats Eagles Pies Sydney North

3. who will win the spoon - Carlton

4. who will win the brownlow - Swan

5. who will win the colmen - Lloyd (depends how close to goal he plays) /Fevola

6. who will win the Rising star - Hawkins

7. what will be the biggest story of 2008 - When will carlton improve?

How the hell do you figure Sydney are up there? They are on the slide in a big way, tempo football as a gameplan rather than a tactic is on the way out precisely because you have young, dynamic sides such as Geelong playing aggressive, free-flowing footy. As for the first line, don't know how you figure either Port or Hawthorn are shit, they both have a solid core of elite players and a host of talented youngsters.

Top 4 for mine:

1. Geelong.
2. Hawthorn
3. Port
4. Dogs

Disagree about Sydney being on the slide. Yes, I hate their gameplan but it still works. They are old but their gameplan will ensure they will still be thereabouts. And the only sides playing your 'aggresive, free flowing footy' are Geelong and the Dogs, and the bulldogs are just too soft to go anywhere. So I think Sydneys gameplan will still work.

Hawks fluked it and they still have no defense (thus the reason they flooded like hell last year)

And Port are soft with too many 'silky runners' and no grunt apart from Kane Kornes (gun).

 

[bigdroppunt]

Oh Crap i forgot ..... There was also the who gets the biggest suspention.....

8. who will get the biggest suspention - Farmer 6 weeks

1. who will win the 08 flag - Geelong

2. Who will be in the top 5 - Geelong - Pies - Hawks - Lions - Port

3. who will win the spoon - Adelaide

4. who will win the Brownlow - Gary Ablett

5. who will win the Coleman - Jonathan Brown

6. who will win the Rising Star - Tom Hawkins

7. what will be the biggest story of 2008 - Something to do with a player on drugs or whatever, either way if it doesn't affect Geelong, and we win the flag, I couldn't give a shit.

1. who will win the 08 flag - Geelong

2. Who will be in the top 5 - Geelong - Freo- Hawks - W C - PA

I had a crack at it, I think that's what I put.

It works at the SCG and that's it, if last year is anything to go by. IMO their best starting 22 is simply not good enough to outplay the top sides at anywhere but home and the list doesn't have enough depth to even come close to alleviating key injuries.

They are old but their gameplan will ensure they will still be thereabouts. And the only sides playing your 'aggresive, free flowing footy' are Geelong and the Dogs, and the bulldogs are just too soft to go anywhere. So I think Sydneys gameplan will still work.

I didn't see that much footy last year but Brisbane's second half was surely free-flowing. Hawthorn could do it when they wanted to, so could Port; and given the preference for copying successful winners you'd think more teams would start looking as 'tsunami football' as a serious gameplan. I also disagree about the Dogs being soft - 2007 must surely be an aberration for such a talented list just as 2006 was an aberration for us. Don't think they have the firepower to make a serious tilt for the flag this year but they'll certainly do better.

Hawks fluked it and they still have no defense (thus the reason they flooded like hell last year)

C'mon man, they're only going to get better.

And Port are soft with too many 'silky runners' and no grunt apart from Kane Kornes (gun).

Perhaps - it will be interesting to see you they rebound after such a mauling. But as Bomber said last year, they were the second best team in the competition and like the Hawks you'd think they're only going to get better.
