probably know where near it but who knows....

i reckon adelaide will struggle, they need some draft picks and are going to have to go thru a rebuilding phase to be a premiership contender in the future

crapton surely will make the finals after buying three quaters of their sqaud in recent years... if they dont then hahahahahahaa i will laugh again for hmmmmm bout the tenth year in a row......

port could be a smoky, have a good list and were the second (actually third haha) best team in 07!!!

fingers crossed the pies forwards are injury free this year, didak kills it in the middle, and a couple of players really step up, in particular DT, Ryan Cook and Reid!!!!

hawthorn and the cats are guna be real hard to beat, but who knows, if they gey some injuries we might sneek past the prelim............

go pies 09!!!!!!!!!!!

bring it on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

3. Richmond
4. St.Kilda
5. Bulldogs
6. Kangaroos
7. Carlton
8. Port Adelaide

9. Brisbane
10. Collingwood

12. Essendon
13. Sydney
14. West Coast
15. Fremantle
16. Melbourne

I think we will have a down year, before turning it on in 2010 for a flag tilt. Richmond the jumper, Cotchin to explode and Deledio to become almost a full-time midfielder. Foley, Deledio, Cotchin and a returning Coughlan is a very dangerous midfield. Richo to have one last big year and they have a very solid young backline, with some good young forwards too. Big year for the Tiges. Saints to stay there-abouts with Cousins entering their lineup but struggling to stay on the field. Carlton to jump into the 8, such a good midfield can't be denied with another year into Murphy and Gibbs, as well as pick 6! Sydney to finally fall, before bouncing back a tad in 2010. Port to have a much better year with pick 4, a fully-fit Chad and an exploding Boak (who will finish top 15ish in the brownlow).

Premiers - Hawthorn
Brownlow - Deledio
Rising Star - Daniel Rich

[FloreatPica17]

There's only 1 team I care about, rest can finish where they like.
Pies 7th. Could be a down year. I'm predicting a late burst of momentum and run to finals.
Our list is still too talented to keep down for a whole season.

If we Finsh 11, Then it will Bye-Bye for Mick.

That would be Going to far back

 

[smiddaz123]

Ok, Dave, he was nice enough to put a number 10 next to our name. How can you mistake that for 11?

Clement, Buckley, Licuria, Holland, Wakelin, Burns... that's a lot of experience and leadership to lose in the space of 12 months. I think we'll have a down year, and Mick will definitely still be there come 2010 to hold up the cup.

Geelong - Once again finish on top.
Hawthorn - Bridesmaids to Geelong in the Grand Final replay.
Collingwood - Confident we can finish top 4 if a good run with injury.
Port Adelaide - One team always shoots into the top 4 from the lower 8.
Bulldogs - Lack of key forward power to keep them out of the 4.
St. Kilda - Always gonna be's but never quite there.
Brisbane - Another team to shoot into the 8.
Richmond - Finally will get their top 8 spot.

Carlton - Still not good enough. Need another key forward.
Kangaroos - Slight slip next year.
Adelaide - Slight slip also.
West Coast - Improved with some players returning and good kids.
Essendon - Stagnating in the bottom 8 for he next year or 2.
Sydney - Need to find some more good youth.
Fremantle - Lost a lot of experience, but are also no good.
Melbourne - Might find themselves shifting off the bottom, but not likely.

 

[FIGJAM]

Minimum of top 6 for mine. We have lost experience, so we have to gain it internally. I think enough blokes will step up.

I don't care where anyone else finishes.
