I like the way Pumpy thinks...
How will Brisbane go backwards?
My top 8 (bit silly to do this so early):
1.Collingwood
2.Saint Kilda
3.Carlton
4.Brisbane
5.Geelong
6.Western Bulldogs
7.West Coast Eagles
8.Essendon
This never eventuates.Well yeah KF, you know I agree that WCE would've also been substantially higher up on the ladder without the injuries you guys have had to contend with. Even on the Bay I've said that.
As far as I can see, we're also in with a decent chance of playing finals next year if we have our best 22 on the park most weeks.
But in response to TC, I find it pretty hard to see how we'd have finished 15th this year if we'd won 7-9 games, as we certainly would have without the ridiculous injury list. Somewhere between 9th & 13th- that's about where we'd have been.
This never eventuates.
I don't think a cleaned out list is going to perform that well in it's first season... but good luck to them though.1-bulldogs(2nd premierhsip)
2-adelaide(on the rise)
3-saints(2009 premiers)
4-cats(on the slow fall)
5-magpies(there abouts)
6-lions(around the mark)
7-hawks(slight improvers)
8-eagles(big improvers)
9-blues(2nd year blues)
10-tigers(Cleanout of problem players. Stronger, fitter, keener, younger list under hardwick. Didn't care last month of 2009)
11-bombers(slight drop)
12-swans(some new blood).
13-demons(slight improvers)
14-dockers(slight improvers
15-kangaroos(developing)
16-power(struggling. Should have got new coach)

The players gave up trying with a month to go.
Great culture.
Probably not instantly. I would give the Tigers one more year near the bottom.It's about to change
Cant help but laugh at how stupid some of these predictions are. Sydney in the top 8. Right.
1 team moves into the 8 from outside the 8 the previous season? Not going to happen.1) St. Kilda - similar to this year
2) Adelaide - the most in form team right now and with their forward line and rebound 50's and home factor could be back in top 2
3) Hawthorn- no injury excuses next year for the hawks
4) Collingwood - A great forward line and slick midfield should still be a top 4 team next year.
5) Western Bulldogs- If can find a forward would finish much higher
6) Geelong- Slide a little but still top 8 material.
7) Carlton- WIll continue to improve though i think it will take an extra year as still needs to develop key backs and other forward options.
8) Essendon - Big improvers this year and think they will continue it next year.
9) Brisbane- IMO over achieved a little but may slip into 8 due to home factor.
10) West Coast - Have the potential to snare a spot in the eight with some extremely exciting players coming along. Will play better football next season, but I still can't bring myself to put them into the top eight just yet.
11) Melbourne - Another side with exciting youth. A very promising backline with x-factors of davey, sylvia, jurrah, wonna and watts and scully will be significant improvers and may even slip into 8 if lucky.
12) Port Adelaide - Don't rate them. Have the potential to go further, but I just see them coming 12th. Depends which port will turn up next year.
13) Sydney -WIth so many retirees a slip is on the cards for the swans.
14) North Melbourne - Certainly the potential is there, but were pretty bad this season. Would take a lot to do any better than 14th IMO.
15) Richmond - Unfortunately for the most part, Richmond have been really bad. I quite like the club, and really hope they lift soon. I don't think they'll break out too soon though.
16) Fremantle - Certainly not the worst side in the league, but with their extreme youth being played at the moment (though they do have some might fine young players coming through) they may just find themselves playing catch up footy all year long. Some great young players there, and have the potential to become Fremantle's best side yet, but 2010 is another rebuilding year.
Grand Final: Adelaide vs Hawthorn
Premiers: Adelaide
