It’s a funny season. I still think both Carlton and Brissy can play a major role come September.
Geelong and GWS can’t be written off either.

Swans don't because the AFL strategizes to keep them constantly competitive, first gifting them COLA and then the lop-sided academy system. Geelong don't because...Cats and Swans have been around for 20 years and never quite really bottomed out
Yep, now shooo
Hawkins and Bews are the only father sons on our list, and the only father sons we had in our 2022 premiership side.I think you mean *develop talent. “Gifted” better describes father/son.
Similar fashion to what David King said in 2014
We’ve gone out in straight sets only once in like 15 years.
Teams like Lions, Dees, Hawks have done it multiple times.
We have a great record in Semi Finals.
Dangerfield being a premiership captain we will never hear the end of it. What a let-down from 2023. 2 blowouts in 3 years won't be a good look for footy. Sick of Geelong and Sydney up there.
Agree with you.Don't think we are a GF side. When we play our best sure, but not strong enough in the middle.
I reckon we'll finish top 4, but bow out in the finals. Finishing 13th last year gave us a pretty easy draw.
Pies aren't even making finals unfortunatelyAgree with you.
It’s really a sign of a weak year though.
I have Geelong, Sydney, Collingwood and Carlton as likely grand finalists.
Geez it would be a shocker if clubs like Essendon, Port, Melbourne or Gold Coast make it but such is the year.
A home final could be possibleCats will only possibly drop 1 game for the rest of the year (Freo in WA). Will most certainly finish 2nd. But even if they make the GF, Swans will absolutely carve them up.
Geez I hope it doesn’t get past your second tier.Pies aren't even making finals unfortunately
My categories of flag likelihood
Sydney
Carlton/Brisbane
Fremantle/Geelong/GWS
Essendon/Melbourne/Port/Hawthorn/Bulldogs
This.This matchup will lose money and ratings in the AFL if we get another Geelong-Sydney grand final this year.
As long as you do it quietly, nobody cares.2022 saw the lowest rated Grand Final ever since the ratings system began. Fans are already sick of these two teams. We will be watching 2023 instead
No chance.Will Geelong get home finals this year at GMHBA, at least against non Victorian sides?
No chance.
Nah.If you could get the GF to be played at GMHBA would you do it?

Only chance is if Geelong finishes fifth or sixth and draws GWS or Gold Coast in an elimination final. Even then it is doubtful unless there is a 2013 like situation with multiple week one finals at the MCG.Will Geelong get home finals this year at GMHBA, at least against non Victorian sides?
