Really? I expect them to take longer to develop than GWS. Gold Coast are a long, long way off being any chop at all.

GF - Adelaide v Collingwood or Hawthorn for me.

Biggest surprise - Essendon and Sydney
Didn't rate either going into the season, but have both been great (excepts Essendon's past 2 games).
Sydney in particular because of Goodes' lengthy stint on the sidelines.
Biggest disappointment - Carlton and North Melbourne

Adelaide not a surprise for me. I reckon I picked them to finish top.

2 games now, but an away game against Sydney this week. Lose and you could be out the 8.


Impossible for the cats to be out the 8 after this round.

yeah just looked at the ladder and fixture. The 7 could be set after this weekend, there may well be 2 games between 7 and 8

Me and some mates do a ladder comp every year. Closest to the ladder wins.

I won with 34 points. You get one point for every position you are off from their minor round position.

Therefore if you tipped geelong to come top, you get 5 points for them, and so on
