If you can explain in detail how Richmond will finish in 10th, I'll be very impressed.

ahaha Nigey is outraged!!!

The tiges will go well this year. Finished 5th last year and have an easier draw this year. Will expect anywhere from 4-7 im thinking.

I honestly think they'll drop a fair bit. Had an easy draw last year, and I see all the teams that finished below them last year improving by quite a bit, with a number of those teams overtaking Port

Anywhere for 3rd-6th is likely, personally predicting 5th again, but hoping for 4th.

How can you even think that?..... ::)

Hey Nige..I think the new interchange rules will expose sides without strong quality mid depth this season. Its a pretty big change..so I am thinking that will be the key in how teams finish. Actually rate Adelaide for that reason. I probably dont know enough about the Tiges depth but I feel my top 8 selections are ahead at this stage.. 8)

[Toga]

Surely you can't chop the strength of the Tiges' midfield!!

Cause they suck.

Did I elaborate enough? :P

[Ricochet]

This is going to ruffle a few feathers I think, but I've had a pretty good look into this.

My thoughts anyway:

1. Hawthorn
2. Fremantle
3. Richmond
4. Sydney
5. North
6. Essendon
7. West Coast
8. Cartlon
9. Geelong
10. Collingwood
11. Port
12. Gold Coast
13. Brissie
14. Bulldogs
15. Adelaide
16. GWS
17. Melbourne
18. Saints

A couple of my reasons
- Richmond will finish 3rd due to their draw. Just based on who they play there should be 12 wins locked away. Then they only need to win another 4-5 50/50s to finish 2rd. I can even see them sneaking to 2nd. I'm not saying they are a top 2 team but they have the draw to do it.
- Geelong will slip. Christensen and Motlop are not replaceable and to big of a loss to the team structure. Add Vardy with a ACL, Jpod being replaced by an inexperienced fwd in either Brown or Kersten, Smedts out for 3+ weeks, Selwood with an injury interrupted preseason. Some are replaceable but it just depletes their depth and in the event of more injuries would ruin their season.
- Collingwood have lost Shaw, Daisy, Williams, Johnson, Jolly and even Didak. And now are battling with injuries to Thomas, Seedsman, Karny, Scharenberg. They will play a lot of kids this year and have a very strong list in terms of talent. But I think they will be too inexperienced and lose big games.
- West Coast have a very strong list (they were premiership favourites only a year ago) and have a nice early draw to go with it. They will make the 8
- Port have a much tougher draw this year and will just miss the 8.
- Adelaide, like Geelong, are battling to keep a healthy list. They will struggle early and it will be hard to rebound from there

[Mailman the 2nd]

You guys will all look so silly when Gold Coast makes the 8 and even if they don't, no one's going to bring this post up anyway

win/win
