Time for all your pre-season predictions:

Complete Ladder at the end of the H&A season:

Grand Finalists:
Premiers:
Brownlow Medalist:
Coleman Medalist:
Norm Smith:
Rising Star:
Mark of the Year:
Goal of the Year:
Copeland top 5:
Harry Collier (Best 1st year player):
Gordon Coventry (Pie's leading goalkicker):
Darren Millaine (Best Clubman):
Gavin Brown (Leading desire indicators):
All Australian Pies:

Clearly this is mostly guess work so take it for what it is.

As per last year, the "closest to the pin" for the ladder will be decided by the lowest score - a point is given for each rung away from the finishing position.
I.e. If you pick Carlton to finish 1st and they end the season in 18th, you get 17 points.
However, for each correctly tipped top 4 finish you get a bonus -10 and correct tips for the rest of the top 8 get a -5 bonus.
Prize is glory only at this stage.

Saintly, I wish! If we have five AAs we'll go close to winning the flag, which is often the case for the eventual premiers.

I'm thinking Scott and Adam
Then threw in a few more.
Why not, fantasy can't hurt

Ulahoopski would you consider a most improved player for 2017?

I'm going for Jordan De Goey over Brayden Maynard

Both to go to a new level

Not knocking your predictions but if Fas is our leading goal kicker for the year, we are definitely in trouble as you indicated. You'd better pack Bucks' bags now.

 

[Ulahoopski]

Not knocking your predictions but if Fas is our leading goal kicker for the year, we are definitely in trouble as you indicated. You'd better pack Bucks' bags now.

Don't see how Fas being our leading goal kicker in 2017 would be any different to Didak being our leading goal kicker in 2010 - that turned out quite well.
Regardless, throw your hat in the ring and give us your predictions.
