[FootyEcstatics]

1 Port Adelaide - The portress will rock the football world and rock them up to the top and will be serious premiership contenders. I reckon they will win 18-19 games, a second premiership would sound very fitting for a side whose future looked bleak during the end of the 2012 season.
2 Sydney -  Should bounce back from their disappointing lost to Hawthorn in the grand final and will go deep into September again. The bottom line is making it to October and will win 17-18 games.
3 Fremantle - Should make amends after their disastrous finals campaign in 2014, they will be in the grand final mix and even a first premiership can be on the cards. I have them just ahead of Hawthorn on percentage, about 16 wins or even 17.
4 Hawthorn - In my eyes, no three-peat for the Hawks. They will still be a top 4 side, push for a grand final appearance and win about 16 games.
5 Geelong - Yes they went out in straight sets, but they are a quality team who rarely loses at home, they have little player list changes and there will have a nice boost in their forward line. In my eyes they are too good of a team to fall away, I think they will defy the doubters and give another push for another grand final appearance. I have them winning 14-15 games and should win a final, unlike in 2000, 2012 and 2014.
6 North Melbourne - I have them staying the same as last year, but it's not a bad result if Brad Scott is under any pressure. I see them winning 13-14 games and should make the semi finals.
7 West Coast - They should win those easy games they lost in 2014, I have them winning 12 or even 13 games in 2015, they shouldn't go out quietly in the finals as they are a good finals side in the last decade.
8 Adelaide - Just like West Coast, I think they will win those few games they should have won last season, I don't expect them to go too far into the finals but it would be a successful season if they should meet this prediction. I have them winning 12 games and making the finals on percentage.
9 Richmond - Making the finals was a fluke in 2014, I have them 9th and some would like them to see them finish there. Up to 12 wins for the yellow and black.
10 Gold Coast - They will get serious about finals but I have them missing out yet again. They'll be lucky to notch 11 wins, even 12.
11 Brisbane - I really like Leppa, he has turned this club around off-field within the last 12 months. I have a soft spot for this side, with inclusions of Danye Beams and Allen Christensen, I see them going up after going through so much in the last 4 years. They will win up to 11 wins, they will be in the finals mix in 2016 if 2015 is an expected success.
12 Essendon - I'm uncertain where this club is at with all the ASADA issues and stuff. I have a gut feeling they will slump from 14 wins to just about 10 wins.
13 Collingwood - They will miss out again, but injuries won't be the problem in 2015. I reckon they will have 8-10 wins.
14 Carlton - They will be in the bottom 6 again, they have issues to sort out, I see them winning 8-9 games.
15 GWS Giants - They will continue to improve, my ex favourite player Ryan Griffen will start out fresh after reuniting with Callan Ward and Leon Cameron. They could be higher than 15th, I see them winning up to 8 games.
16 Western Bulldogs - 8 wins in 2013, 7 wins in 2014, not good enough. Despite getting a key forward, it will take time for him to develop and I think there will be more of the same in 2015. Up to 7 wins for my doggies!
17 Melbourne - I have them stagnating again, can't see them doing anything different in 2015, I don't think they will win more than 6 games.
18 St Kilda - I think they'll win one more game compared to 2014, but still will finish last for 28th time. Oh when the saints come last again!!

Yeah my bad! haha. Yeah They will probs end up like 17 or 18 wins due to them dropping games they shouldn't. But they do have a nice fixture.

[The_Captain]

Wonder what they are paying to finish top 4... Could be a good bet.. Or real good odds to finish top..

North are 3.20 for top 4

Geelong @4.15 to miss the top 8 is a decent bet
