Last weekend I went through all the remaining games and I came up with:

Geelong
Hawthorn
Sydney
Bulldogs
Adelaide
Collingwood
Brisbane
North Melbourne

This is my end of Rnd 22 prediction. I had the Pies 1 win behind the Crows but that was giving the Crows wins for the last 5 rounds so maybe that's optimistic

Before Sunday's game I had Port fighting it out with the Roos for 8th - but after Port's melt-down I have the Roos finishing 1.5 games clear of them

Hawthorn
Geelong
Bulldogs
Sydney
Brisbane
Collingwood
Adelaide
Kangaroos

Sydney will do well in the finals. They can beat anyone if they play their style. Brisbane are also a darkhorse

Geelong - experienced in finals playing below par but ready to explode
Hawks - 2nd best team by far
bulldogs - suspect depth of squad
Sydney - tough team to play against game plan can be broken, on there day is very hard to beat
Brisbane - key forwards, class midfielders and Leigh has them up and running
Adelaide - set themselves up with a good start to year, better than Collingwod IMO
Collingwood - not as good as people seem to believe
Nth Melbourne - can never count them out but havent got the cattle to beat with the top 4

Finished 3rd last year, have been beaten by the Hawks by 17 and Geelong by 13 this season and beaten the Bullies (only loss) and drew with Sydney....have gone OK against the popular Top 4 this season havent they?

FWIW Roos wont make it IMO....have a look at our draw

hmm I think this:

Hawks.
Geelong.
Collingwood.
Dogs.
Adelaide.
Sydney.
Brisbane.
St.Kilda. (Talk about a hot spot)

To be honest I think 8th spot could come from: Nt.Melb, Carlton, St.kilda and maybe Port. Really is hard to pick at the moment.
