Who finishes higher in 2025, Adelaide, West Coast or North Melbourne?

[JPetro83]

The gap from 15th to next on ladder 14th was 3 wins.. These 3 sides are so far from anything its not funny.. who will rise in 2025? what is a pass mark?
I think North and West Coast have more upside than the Crows.

 

[LoBu]

This is a joke, right?

Every year, I vote for North Melbourne in these polls, thinking all those high draft picks will finally click and they will have a Hawthorn-type season. But every year, they let me down. It's like the reverse of Geelong falling off a cliff.

If North can get Darling, Parker, Daniel, etc I think they can make a move(finally) but theyve proved me wrong more than once in recent years.
Crows probably should move up, but do they have enough quality coming in to offset Laird/tex/etc getting older AND to move up the ladder? I think Cumming is an underrated addition to the list.
West Coast probably doesnt go anywhere, losing Barrass, Yeo/Kelly a year older, team only getting younger. Hard to see much of a jump, but its not impossible

Adelaide finish higher

 

[PCORF]

Right now I think all 3 of these sides will be outside the 8.

 

[JPetro83]

This is a joke, right?

Sadly, no.

 

[Bevoman]

yeah, who cares

 

[Chadwiko]

Not Hawthorn.

If Adelaide don't, Nicks has been sacked at some point during the season

 

[Handsuper47]

It'll be West Coast, North then Adelaide for most of the season, Adelaide will finally get rid of their bad coach, then they will end the season higher than the other two.

 

[Jeremias]

Adelaide, though none will play finals.

 

[Rod Stroker]

Us, no debate. We're currently top of the ladder and undefeated

 

[Tarkyn_24]

At their optimum, I think Adelaide can push for the bottom reaches of the top eight, and North and West Coast the bottom reaches of the top sixteen.

 

[jwikked]

Adelaide are shit, hopefully they finish 18th. North will be the biggest improvement out of the 3, and I think West Coast will finish 16th position next year.

 

[Howard Littlejohn]

Before trade period is impossible difficult to tell.
But as it stands : Adelaide marginally ahead of West Coast ahead of Richmond ahead of North.

 

[CrowToon]

Do an Adelaide - Richmond one, then it'll be close and worthy of debate.

 

[voorhees]

Adelaide finish highest
all the years they have put into there list - its pay off time

no it wont..
richmond are moving on some prime movers of the team and replacing with rookie kids
we are years away from participating in moving up the ladder
Adelaide on the other hand, have no excuses..

 

[Cleansweep17]

Geez we aren’t even good enough to be included in this poll lol

I reckon Adelaide

Okay but Adelaide have Matthew Nicks.
Like i said, there's a debate

 

[CrowToon]

Also I think St Kilda could've easily been put in this group. They are going backwards and have nothing coming in to address that.

I don't know with St Kilda. I expected a slide this year, but this might be their low point. Or at least close to it.
Nowhere near it also a possibility, but less likely in my totally uninformed opinion.

 

[CasuallyDressed]

Crows

 

[Crankyhawk]

Not Hawthorn.

Have picked North this time, the high picks are now getting close to the 50 game mark, so surely it will click for them this year

Will reserve right to change after trading and whether Nicks is sacked

 

[StillAtLarge]

North will surprise. Can see them finishing around 11-12th
