Based only on what I've heard:
Virginia - haven't heard much but think they would be around the mark again. Would expect them to make the 4 but would not be surprised if they just missed out due to a log jam
Two Wells - again challenging for the four, another team that could be in a log jam. Depending on recruits could be right in the mix
Mallala - my pick for the flag at this very early stage
Hamley Bridge - big sliders with a mass exodus of players. Bottom two
United - big improvers with a new coach and a few big recruits to cover their losses. Another team that could be fighting for that last spot on the 4. My smokey
Balaklava - will punch above their weight and should challenge for a spot in the 4, although I dont think they'll challenge for the flag
HWE - big impovers from last season, though I don't think they'll make the 4 (more than happy to be proved wrong)
Impossible to say with any accuracy at this stage of the season, but looking forward to another very even year on the plains
