I know its not half way through the season, but lets get a few predictions for the remainder of the year.
Here's me sticking my neck out.
1. Essendon to be defeated by Carlton in Round 20 on a wet and miserable night at the MCG in July.
2. Collingwood and Geelong to both miss the finals handing Bulldogs and Fremantle a place in the eight.
3. St'Kilda to win all their interstate trips, but no games in Melbourne.
4. Matthew Lloyd and Scott Lucas to seriuosly hurt their knees preliminary final day, thus costing Essendon a place in the grand final.
5. Port Adelaide to win the wooden spoon (big surprise there)
6. Carlton to make amends for last year and knock off a galant Hawthorn in the GF.
7. Nathan Buckley to get suspended after the AFL step in to report him for hitting Darren Bewick in round 22.
8. Shane Woewodin to take out the Brownlow medal ahead of raging favourite Peter Riccardi.
9. Colonial stadium to get their icketing situation right by the cricket matches in August.(maybe a bit far fethced)
10. End of year ladder
