Your tip for the 2013 flag?

[Magic Mike]

Now that we're 8 rounds into the season, we've got a fair insight into how good each team is this year.

It's clear that none of the current bottom 3 teams (Western Bulldogs, Melbourne, GWS) will be winning the flag, so I left them out of the poll to avoid diluting the results.

Who is your tip for the flag, and has it changed since the start of the season?

Geelong vs Sydney GF - Cats to win

Started year thinking West Coast, hasn't really worked out for them just yet.

 

[GutsyBug]

Don't have a flag favourite, but I do have a top 4 prediction

1.Hawthorn - Don't look like being beaten this year besides from Geelong, and if I had to pick a flag favourite it would be the Hawks.
2.Geelong - Incredibly strong team, will probably only end up losing 2-3 games and will most definitely beat the Hawks, meaning a Geelong v Hawks granny would be interesting.
3.Sydney - Don't have a lot to say about Sydney, but they always fly under the radar, and will be a threat come September
4.Collingwood - Looking good, and if we can beat Sydney we play Brisbane, Melbourne, Bulldogs, Port, Carlton, Adelaide, GCS, GWS, and we should win at least 7/8 of them, setting us up for 4th.

Hawkas, they are the best team in the comp by a fair bit

I've gone with the Cats. I didn't think they could do it, but they just know how to win. Add that to the fact they well and truly have Hawthorn mentally beaten and I think they are a big chance.

Geelong. It's an odd year

 

[Snake_Baker]

All things being equal it should be Hawthorn from Sydney/Collingwood.

 

[Axel Scheffer]

Port

2 ACLs a week mean it could be any of the top sides by seasons end. 2013 Premiers by pure survival.

 

[Rack Watts]

Geelong, Odd year.
They'll beat the Swannies.

West Coast. 7 years since our last flag, Chris Masten's number 7 - the same number Chad Fletcher wore during the premiership year, both names begin with a 'c', cricket begins with a 'c', the next Cricket World Cup is in 2 years - the number of years between West Coast's first and second flag, which means....um....

Nah I got nothing.

 

[Black Flag]

geelong or hawthorn. swans 3rd, then the rest.

I laughed too hard at that

hawks will redeem themselves

 

[PCORF]

Why is Adelaide in that list?

I hope its Geelong. Such a great team.

 

[Mighty Eagles]

It's between three teams IMO; Geelong, Hawthorn & Sydney.

 

[a_fighting_fury]

Sydney - they have this new kid coming in from SA who can kick more goals.

 

[rayven]

Freo.

 

[Vtorians]

Sydney play with GF style intensity every week, are the reigning premiers & should be favorites to go back to back.

 

[tazhawk]

It's between three teams IMO; Geelong, Hawthorn & Sydney.

Add Freo to that list.

 

[jarrod87]

I barrack for Fremantle so is like to say us but I think we're a year or 2 off at the moment. I really like the way Geelong and Sydney are going about it at the moment so I think those 2 will play off with the cats to take home the flag.

 

[tigers_of_old_08]

hawks will redeem themselves

Yup that's what I reckon too

 

[Power Raid]

Hawks to break the kennett curse against the cats by a big margin
