3 Who will be the Most Improved player in 2009? Whichever of the kids stays fit. Lets take a punt and go for Neagle.

5 Which young players are you predicting will make the most impact (players with less than 25 games)? Zaka, Neagle
6 Which Essendon player will be this year's "love to hate' candidate? Lovett-Murray, Dyson
7 Which club will win the AFL Premiership in 2009? Collingwood

Halfway through the season, so I thought I'd drag this back. Looks like I'm no Nostradamus :roll:

Windy may be the most accurate one to date..... :wink:

It's always interesting to have a look at these predictions. I'm hoping my prediction of 11th won't be true come the end of the year.

Still a little bit of time before final results are in.

Either way, most of out predictions were way out. Only a handful had us finishing 8th. Lot of money on Geelong to win the flag. Jobe a strong candidate for the B&F

Hop looks like he got the closest (assuming the Cats win on Sat)

No body has picked the Saints for the Flag?
