Just keep it simple. Tough call really but I would probably say Essendon, but only just.
Both will have no spine in another year or so with retirements and have shizen midfields.
Even in the Hawks deep dark days (2003), we still had Thompsons, Croads, McPharlins etc coming through in the spine.
I know the Pies have Pendlebury and Cloke which is why I put them slightly ahead but there is GAPING holes in both lists, that will only get worse in 2008.
I like Dale Thomas, think he will be a star which is another reason I put them ahead but I am not convinced either team will make the finals for at least 3 - 5 years.
