8th spot is the hard one and can be filled by any of about 3 in my opinion.

JBs-Hawks

Yeah can't see you missing the top 4 provided that you don't get destroyed by injuries

Ringo

The 2 standout teams are Werewolves and Badgers - Rams have been greatly effected by the suspended players otherwise they would be there.  If Ablett does not play a full season then Werewolves are vulnerable as we have seen. 

Any of 14 teams can make the positions 3 - 8 so it is just subjective. Will be very interesting to come back and see how close we all got. 

Really I see only 2 teams struggling this year Bunnies and Giants although Giants may cause a few upsets.

JBs-Hawks

Hawks would have won the flag last year if not for the +20 for updating teams in finals.

I think we're also hurt considerably by the change in scoring system too as I've previously mentioned, it favoured quite a number of my boys. But yeah, losing our best player and captain certainly doesn't help.
