Always interesting to see how the betting agencies set up the next year’s premiership chances, linked of course to where the money is going.

They have Lions as faves to go back to back, which is a general rule for all premiers when the lines of betting open up immediately after the Grand Final, then Hawks and Swans on equal money and so on, as below.

Brisbane
Hawthorn/Sydney
Carlton/GWS
Geelong/WB
Collingwood/Freo
Port
Crows/Melbourne
Essendon/Gold Coast
Saints
North/West Coast
Richmond
 
I've thoroughly enjoyed watching the Hawks this year as many have but having them at $7 odds is just outrageously bad value. You'd want to see another season like this year's to ever consider jumping on single figure odds for them.

Richmond being $151 is awful too. Should be 501 or more.

Markets without inverse are always so bad.

Having us 13th like you have is almost a bad a take as the betting market. If we were to regress it won't be that badly. We would need to be totally off with system and structure to finish there. Were getting stronger up back, midfield is solid just a power forward short IMO. Could be Lewis backend of the year. Anywhere between 4-10th is where I see us and that's being just off the pace of we finish 10th.

I reckon you guys finish 5th-6th and lose a prelim

This year the Western Bulldogs conceded the fewest points in the league, and their midfield was one of the strongest performing all year. Their big forwards all had good years on top of the likes of Treloar and Jones surpringly having career years at their high ages and Rory Lobb amazingly finding strong form in defence to hold them in stead.

Despite all this, the Bulldogs could only muster a 6th place finish and lost their only final to a significantly less experienced side. How much longer can this side supposedly have untapped potential and when will it be unlocked?

No need to have a tantrum, its shooting piss in the breeze, don't take it so personally.


Every year 2 or 3 go out and 2 or 3 come in, Hawthorn exceeded expectations this year so is it real or was it just an 'everything went right' season? Noone knows. Not everything is linear. Teams could put extra work into them as they aren't flying under a radar any longer. Could they be 'figured out'? I dunno.

If Hawthorn finished 13th I wouldn't be shocked. If they finished 5th I wouldn't be shocked.
