Opinion Who wins the Premiership? (Updated poll - Updated for Prelims))

[footy75]

Who do you think will win it all in 2020?

 

[11kgm]

surely Brisbane they get the home state advantage

 

[AjsGuns]

Depends where it is, Brisbane would be favourites atm. Unfortunately, I think GWS will get up.

 

[Power Raid]

brisbane and GWS have the best chance

 

[dean33]

Well the tigers were pre season favourite, after the restart the pies were favourites until Steele was a naughty boy, then port were the team to beat until they got beat and now the lions are the top seed. Based on the above I imagine by the time finals come around the Crows could be in the box seat.

 

[kaiserchief13]

Who knows? If any team gets 12-13 home state games that would be a huge help

 

[wal]

Where is the Freo option in the poll?

 

[Anja_Nees]

No guts, no glory: I‘m tipping Adelaide to Bradbury it after every other club gets disqualified with Corona.

Collective Minds will publicly claim vindication.

 

[Angus Young]

Gona say GWS at the moment.

I think West Coast may come good too.

 

[Chaisa]

I like Brisbane and GWS's chances given that they're bound to get a heap of home games for much of the rest of the season and that should be a big advantage.

TBH though this season seems ripe for a Dogs like charge given that everyone's been prone to one or two stinkers and so many sides having to go into hubs. Having that long break after one round doesn't help.

 

[PhatBoy]

The way things have gone I seriously don’t think top 4 is relevant - I think whoever brings a month or so of momentum into the finals will carry on and win it whether they’re a side who has to win 3 games or a side who has to win 4

Where is the Freo option in the poll?

Stored in the same place Freo's premiership cups are stored

 

[Mesc]

Stored in the same place Freo's premiership cups are stored

Is that the same place where Wet Toasts legitimate cups are ? *

If by legitimate you mean illegitimate then yes

 

[Freomaniac]

I tipped collingwood.

 

[Rod Stroker]

GWS haven't played the Perth teams yet, so they will likely be sent to the WA hub for a few weeks. Probably unlikely that WC and Freo will be sent back to the east coast again to play the Giants.

 

[Rod Stroker]

It won't be us. Our season flat lined when we just lost our 3rd game in a row at home, before hubbing in QLD which hasn't been a happy hunting ground for us.

 

[terrybull]

Because this year ends with 0, the only contenders are Carlton, Collingwood, Essendon, Melbourne or Richmond.
At the moment Bombers must be favorites.

 

[Dr Awkward]

Brisbane are playing well but I don't think their ceiling as a team is high enough, once finals come around.

I reckon it's between West Coast, GWS and Bulldogs.

Not sure the Tiges can do it this year

 

[The_Big_Ship]

Port.

 

[PCORF]

I hope the Lions roar in 2020. Geelong, GWS Giants, Port and Richmond always a chance as well, depends on their ladder finish.

Each to their own, but I'd say the complete opposite - our ceiling is well good enough to win a premiership. It's the unknown of if we have the big moment players, the ability to withstand 4 qtr finals pressure and the smarts to find a "plan B" at short notice (GWS forward entries in 4th quarter last year).

GWS and Collingwood scare me and I'd put them 1/2. The doggies are a good team but if we play well and break even in the midfield I'd back our forwards and backs to get the job done. I'd have us in the next tier 3/4/5 with Geelong, Richmond - and the doggies slightly behind at this stage.

 

[Giant Pete]

Injuries to play a big role. Look at Richmond.

 

[juss]

Brisbane in box seat, but it will be a lottery come finals if we get there.

 

[4THAWN]

Definitely too early to tell

If I had a gun held to my head I'd have to choose either Richmond or Brisbane but even then we've hardly seen enough from either side this year to stamp them as premiership favourites.
