****ing Norf have lucked their way into a prelim by ending up on the same side of the draw as an ageing injury ravaged team past its prime two years in a row now. I hope West Coast beat them by 100+. And I wouldn't be surprised if they did either.

They're in with a chance. They match up well with WCE in much the same way as we do with Hawthorn.

West Coast -> North -> Freo -> Hawthorn

Premiership win in order of preference for me.

If the West Cokers snag the flag Freo will be scared for a loooooooonnnnng time

I'd like to put Hawthorn over Freo.

Ross Lyon football should never ever win a flag.
And the fact that I'm a sadastic prick and everyone loves a loser... Fremantle are the losers of our generation, may they never win a flag, at least not before every other team has had a go.

I am very comfortable with the idea of Freo not winning a flag under Lyon. I'd rank them 4th out of the last 4 in order to my preference to win the flag. Actually, I don't really care much who wins the flag as I don't hate or like any of the remaining teams. A hawthorn three-peat would be a bit much so maybe West Coast. I really don't care!

I could stand North winning one... well buy another one would be more accurate.

That things that got them 2 in the 70s before it was closed, 2 in he 90s from buying zone selections Carey and Longmire from the Swans, and 1 now due to free agents Higgins and Waite. It's the Norf way

That's just smart management. Nothing wrong with that.
