Who do you think will finish higher on the ladder. The betting only have 3 teams as a serious chance. Crows $3 Freo $3 and Swans $3.25.

Freo, hopefully they have Barlow back for a full season, if not that, then at least the back end of the year

I wouldn't go near the Crows for $3.

I think they are a perenially overrated side.
That's your opinion fair enough - in 2009 they almost cracked the top 4, 2010 was just an absolute disaster and abhorration (IMO) for the Crows. They lost a lot of experience (Goodwin, Edwards et al) and had a shocking injury toll during pre-season which pretty much derailed their season from the get go.

They have pumped games into their talented kids (of which they have plenty) and most of them have churned out a decent number of games with advanced responsibility.

Like I said before, they almost cracked the top 4 in '09 and I can't see why they can't give it a shake in '11 if things fall into place.

Could go either way with Freo and Sydney. If Freo can get Barlow through the whole season and get some more game time into their youngsters then they are every chance to make the top 3.

Freo has never made the 8 in consecutive seasons. But I think at least 2 of the clubs, probably all 3 will finish in the top 8 next year.

I'm going to go with Sydney. People always underrate them. I think they'll finish fourth next year. Freo to finish fifth and Adelaide seventh.
That sounds fair enough. But you cannot predict a season right now. All 3 of those teams may make or miss the 8 next year.
