| Hello everyone,
Recently found the forum, fantastic...., I am starving for footy action, and look forward to reading all the comments in 2008, and adding in a few posts that will no doubt be laughed at by many, and proven totally wrong, BUT
My guesstimate ladder for 08. Mostly based on gut feel,
Geelong..............................Premiers...Sh ould make it 2 in a row
West Coast Good resources, quality list, still strong.
Hawthorn Capable of the flag if midfield fires.
Freemantle Pace, talent, will be more disciplined in 08
Brisbane Great spine, midfield, forwards, a chance.
Port Great youth,but stars a year older.
St Kilda Injuries the key, have talent and experience.
Sydney Still strong, and hard to beat at home.
----------
Kangaroos Motivated, and hard, them V Us mentality
WB lots of midfield pace.
Adelaide May find pace an issue.
Carlton Will improve, good young players. Judd.
Collingwood Midfield and scoring power issues.
Essendon Reloading....will be strong in 2010
Richmond Reloading....will still be reloading in 2020
Melbourne Reloading.................no ammo............
Sorry to the Collingwood supporters, but losses to Melbourne and Richmond in 07 showed flaws in their style of play, despite the close finals game against Geelong, the style is too negative, and coach controlled, and have no power forwards, like the best teams.
Coleman.............Franklin
........................Fevola it will be close.
Brownlow...........Brown....Richmond
End of season changes.....Big big shakeout at Collingwood. Changes at Richmond, Western Bulldogs, and Adelaide.
Buckley will establish a great media career, and never coach.
Hird will never coach either.
Mathews will retire despite a good year.
A Famous just retired bulldog will coach.
Lloyd will retire.
Roll on
