[Luigi197]

c) win NAB Cup
d) be most improved

Brownlow- J.Selwood/M.Barlow

Most improved player- M.Hurley

Na not from me i support Melbourne

My reasoning-

Wooden Spoon- New coach no experience will take some time to get his game plan to adapt.

Win Premiership- I just feel an upset in the finals will happen Franklin and Rioli will regain thier form, and dominate the finals.

Win Nab cup- Just think with the draw they got they should advance and if they get home games they could win.

Most Improved- We all know they are on the up.
---------------------------------------------------------

Brownlow-

Barlow- If he had played the full season last year in  the way he did in the first 13 rounds he would have been close to winning it.

Selwood- With no Ablett to get the votes i think most will go to him which would put him up there with a good cahnce hes an awesome player.


Most improved- Even though i think Essendon will fail i think Hird will play Hurley back where he belongs at CHF, i think Hurley will then  go on to get the most goals for Essendon and possibly take out the best and fairest

[Hawka]

Wooden Spoon- Essendon
Win premiership- Hawks
Win Nab cup- Fremantle
Most improved- Melbourne
--------------------------------
Brownlow- J.Selwood/M.Barlow

Most improved player- M.Hurley

I second this sentiment. Can maybe see Adelaide being most improved but it should be a close race.

I still can't believe anyone would overlook GC for the spoon, Ablett or not, they are gonna have a very tough time to start.

1. Collingwood
2. St.Kilda
3. Hawthorn
4 Geelong
5. Freo
6.Doggies
7. Sydney- They haven't done anything to deserve to be down the bottom..
8. Melbourne
9. Carlton
10. North Melbourne
11 Adelaide
12 Essendon
13. Port Adelaide
14. Richmond
15.West Coast
16. Brisbane
17. GC

Spoon: Brisbane (just ahead of GC)
Premiers: Collingwood
NAB: Carlton
Most improved: North Melbourne

From all the Where will (Team X) finish in 2011? polls posted in the various team boards comes some very interesting results.

So far 226 votes have been polled in the various team boards on this topic.

Only 6 teams have a chance to be premier - St. Kilda (3 votes), Nth Melb (3), Collingwood (2), Gold Coast (2), Essendon (1) and West Coast (1).
Verdict - Only Collingwood and St. Kilda can be considered.

Only 6 teams have NO chance of the wooden spoon - Essendon, Melbourne, Nth Melb, Richmond, St. Kilda and Sydney.
Verdict - Only St. Kilda and Sydney have NO chance.

Only 6 people think Brisbane will win the wooden spoon.
Verdict - Agreed, this was the highest number of votes given for the wooden spooner.

Top four - St. Kilda (11), Collingwood (8), Geelong (7), Fremantle (5),  Hawthorn (5), Western Bulldogs (2), Carlton (1), Melbourne (1), Sydney (1)
Verdict - St. Kilda, Collingwood, Geelong, based on votes and Fremantle over Hawks based on last year form.

Gold Coast (12), Port Adelaide (12) and West Coast (11) were the three clear favourites to finish in the bottom nine.
Verdict - The ladder may look a little like this......based on votes  and preferences (the preferences being that the higher placing will be awarded to the team with more positional votes):P

1.   St. Kilda
2.   Collingwood
3.   Geelong
4.   Fremantle
5.   Hawthorn
6.   Carlton
7.   Adelaide
8.   Western Bulldogs
9.   Sydney
10. Nth. Melb
11. Melbourne
12. Gold Coast
13. Port Adelaide
14. Essendon
15. Richmond
