read a few pages back some top 5 predictions for season 09. not much reasoning behind these selections. for what it worth hes mine:
1. Lofty - even the loss of cutting wont hurt them. the best team by a fair stretch the past 3 yrs, very young & will be the bench mark again. crazy to think they wouldnt be.
2. Hahndorf - seemed to have lost no one from last yrs squad & will gel better this coming season youd think. will recruit as rumoured on this forum. dangerous side.
3. blackwood - even if jake bowen leaves they'll find a replacement. even team with plenty of talls all over the ground that blend well with there runners. new coach, new ideas should keep them in the 3.
4. Barker - retained all players from last season but Byrt who will be a loss. have quietly been recruiting & have already retained the services of some past junior & senior players. only 2 players over 30 yrs old, so should be there abouts again with an improving squad. C rogers to return from knee injury also.
5. uraidla - well respected side that performs well every yr. very experienced side with perhaps only age slowing them down a touch. wouldnt be surprised if they finished higher with there rumoured recruits.
onkas miss out just - like this yr. even with klun going back im not sure he'll be enough.
