You don't really have to be good to make the top 8 and you play games at the Cattery. You'll win more than 12, even if you don't play well and you have the depth to cover most teams.

Depth??

Quite shallow, which has been shown up last season.

We don't get enough games at home.

Think they have the personnel for it, but if any team has shown they can muck it up it's the Dees. Certainly hope they can make the 8.

My thoughts seem to be close to BZB27s

1/ GWS
2/ Sydney
3/ Western Bulldogs
4/ Adelaide
5/ West Coast
6/ Geelong
7/ Hawthorn
8/ Melbourne

9/ St Kilda
10/ Fremantle
11/ Essendon
12/ Collingwood
13/ Port Adelaide
14/ Gold Coast
15/ North Melbourne
16/ Richmond
17/ Carlton
18/ Brisbane

Gold Coast, Freo, Essendon Collingwood are hard to place imo. One of them could surge up the ladder but its hard to tell.

I have a line through Brisbane, Carlton and Richmond (and think only the Tiges a chance of embarrassing me from that lot). From there I genuinely think all remaining 15 clubs would rightly have finals aspirations.

Spewing, I've lost the ability to use it now as it's telling me that I have to download an adobe reader.

I've sent a request to IT to do it for me as it's blocking me on my work laptop.

Wasn't like this last season.

I think your squad from player 18-30 is much better than most of the other teams vying for 6th position downward.

You get more home games than us, Collingwood, Melbourne, St Kilda etc, etc...... I think you'll be fine.

I had to read that several times myself! But yep, DOOL is correct, there was no ladder position 13.

Pretty much every year there is a team that comes from outside the 8 and makes the top 4.

Who is that likely to be this year?

I reckon it could be the Saints, Dont think Melbourne have that potential

Melbourne ahead of the Saints for mine, but not to the top 4.

1/ GWS
2/ Western Bulldogs
3/ Sydney
4/ West Coast
5/ Adelaide
6/ Geelong
7/ Hawthorn
8/ Melbourne

9/ St Kilda
10/ Fremantle
11/ Collingwood
12/ Gold Coast
13/ Essendon
14/ Port Adelaide
15/ Richmond
16/ North Melbourne
17/ Brisbane
18/ Carlton

Top 3 in any order and 8th spot to go to either Saints or Melbourne. If Freo remember how to win at home they could pinch it as well.
Don't think there will be many wins separating 8th and 12th and then 12th to 16th.
