Premier : Richmond - brave to tip against them at the moment
Runner up: Port Adelaide - probably the best overall balance to their team last year - Fantasia and Alir terrific pick ups and it seems their younger brigade just gets better
Spoon: North (I think Adelaide had a good finish to last season and seemed to find some form. North were putrid for much of last year)
Saints ladder position: 7th (same as last year but this time the Doggies host us - won't matter though coz it will be at the G anyway!)
Coleman Medal: Dixon - the time has come for the big man! Started like a freight train last year and if he can keep fit and keep in form - well...
Brownlow Medal: **** it - it's about time we had another one of these - 23 year drought is long enough, Steele to absolutely dominate.
Norm Smith medal: Martin just goes up a level come finals. So gotta be him!
Trevor Barker Medal: Brad Crouch
Saints Leading goal kicker: Members (just quietly goes about his business while Maxy takes the double team and gets the ball to ground for everyone else to pounce on it.
Saints highest brownlow voter: Steele obviously.
Saints picked in the AA squad: Crouch, Hill, Clark, Coffield,
Ladder :
1. Richmond - the more things change, the more they stay the same...
2 Port - back up there once again and another nice draw will see them in form
3. Brisbane - another really balanced side but
4. West Coast - Probably way off with this but I need to shake up the top four and I can't see anyone else knocking them out. The gap between best and worst is more evident this year.
5. Geelong - Petered out last year and found some form in the finals I guess but honestly I think the longer season is going to be a hindrance for them. We'll see...
6. Bulldogs - Could and should finish top four but I have to have my typical "bulldogs gunna fail" glasses on - we beat them in the first final btw
7. St Kilda - with our draw and injuries I can actually see us missing the eight BUT I think we've got the men to cover our losses and will be quite suprised with the turnout we get from our recruits. If Paddy and Marshall stay fit we're a good shot but if not, having Macca and Hunter is not a bad combo as a back up. Competition for spots will be fierce too so we should get some really desperate performances.
8. Carlton - Great draw, great pick ups in trade week/draft and as usual will have their fans baying about how good they are all year - will sneak in more as an indictment of the teams around them.
9. Fremantle - WIll challenge but will fall at the final hurdle. Good young side on it's way to finals.
10. Gold Coast - worry not gold coast, your first finals appearance is not far off -
11. GWS - continue to slip after the mass exodus last year. Might even be further but still too much talent to fall to the bottom four-six.
12. Sydney - Sneaks out of the bottom six with a solid list that will just get better. No finals yet though.
13. Collingwood - You want to talk about a mass exodus??? A shadow of the side that played in the grannie in 2018. Great pick ups in the draft will help their cause a little but forget about finals. Might finish a bit higher if the teams above them spud it up.
14. Melbourne - the disappointment of the year for mine - will drop significantly after a mixture of injuries and a tough draw.
15. Hawthorn - Can't see them improving much this year.
16. Essendon - Not as bad as I first thought - their youngsters look terrific but unfortunately they will tire out and probably have a similar second half as they did this year.
17. Adelaide -Climb up one spot to 17th by virtue of North being slightly worse than them - four or five wins max
18. North - Basketcase. Will win four or less games and for ****'s sake can one of them please not be against us for once!!!!
Hero of 2021: Brad Crouch - not just for what he brings to the team but also for bringing Hill back into the game and vindicating both decisions by the club!
Villan of 2021: Injury - it already is and will continue to be - for us, for other teams...
