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

Let’s go with saints

I have a feeling that year has a bit of a 2016 vibe to it that one team might surprise all the way through to the grand final.

 

[Footy_Fan2007]

The tigers and quite easily. They are just to bloody good.

 

[Sweet Jesus]

Richmond are a great side but they must be counting their lucky stars drawing Brisbane two years in a row in week one.

A very humble reply mate, but something is telling me Geelong are going all the way.

I hope so mate but I think we make a prelim and get bundled out again.

Brisbane can still finish top if Collingwood best port in QLD next week.

In that case, they'll get flogged by Geelong instead. The weakest top 2 side I can recall.

I’m not so sure. I think Richmond would beat them but I don’t think we would.

Are you doing exaggerated pessimism this week?

Not at all mate. I genuinely think Brisbane are a good team and I’m not confident we would beat them at the Gabba.

Turn it up.

 

[Footy_Fan2007]

Turn it up.

Look at Geelongs finals record since 2011. If the Eagles has the same record would you be confident?
I think Geelong are absolutely capable of beating anyone but I fear that the mental demons will creep in come finals again. I hope I’m wrong.

 

[Coolangatta]

I think one of Geelong's biggest barriers is going to be how the bye affects them in the first final. Overcome that, and a grand final appearance is looking good. It's the Corona cup, so they might not be flat like they usually are.

Yes.

Pessimist ? Give the guy a break, sounds to me like he is summing up things realistically.

 

[PowerForGood]

Given we’re still outside the top 4 in premiership betting, I’m still thinking we’ll not make the GF let alone win a flag.

Not really. When we got the lions last year, Brisbane had just beaten Geelong two weeks earlier in Brisbane. They were a pretty hot side at home. The alternative last year would have been Geelong at the G and we had to play them in that finals series anyway.

if we get them this year, their form is pretty good and I would say they are a bigger test in QLD than anyone bar Maybe Geelong.
they will be red hot in that first final.

They're average AF. Richmond will beat them by 40.

 

[My Cotchin Rules]

Port or Richmond for mine.... Port will stroll to the granny with some home finals and Richmond will be over the moon playing their bunnies in the first final. Will be awkward to watch Charlie Cameron being dominated again by Richmond.

Grimes = "The Charlie Cameron killer". No doubt Mitch Robinson will be running his mouth with BS as usual along with his 1 or 2 disposals with zero effect.

However for this to happen, we need to beat the somehow form side of the comp in the croweaters and Port still need to be you guys.

Tbh, I think Pies will knock over Port next week and we will play them at AMMI and Lions will host the cats.

We won't be getting the lions. Port Power will lose to the pies, bookmark it.

Yeah I'll be sure to bookmark some random online so I can refer back to it. It means that much to me.

They towelled up Port Adelaide and West Coast. They are going ok.

They're top two. Of course they're "going OK". But I don't think they'll be good enough when it counts.

You stated that we must be counting our lucky stars. I’m saying no because they are as big a test as anyone bar Geelong, who I think are the favourite when at full strength.

I think we may get Port first up anyway.

I think the Lions will win a final. Anyway time will tell if you’ve underestimated them
