Posted: Mon Dec 04, 2006 2:21 pm
my end of year 2007 ladder.(with reasoning below, assuming no team has a shocking injury run)
Fremantle,
Adelaide,
Collingwood,
Western Bulldogs,
West Coast
Sydney,
Geelong,
St Kilda,
Richmond,
Essendon
Hawthorn,
Melbourne,
North Melbourne
Port
Carlton,
Brisbane
Fremantle, steam rolled into the finals this year, momentum building.
Adelaide: just a quality team, drifted off late this year, be keen to make amens next year.
Collingwood might seem a little high, but they have been gifted possible the best draw for any club in the past 10 years. hate em, but expect them to do well.
Doggies: Add akermanis, plus another years experience on some of their quick youngsters....should have a good year.
West Coast: Will suffer a bit of a premiership hangover, but will bounce back, too much quality in their backline and middle.
Swans: Keep buying up enough experience to stay competitive. will dip a bit, as teams are working them out.
Geelong: too much talent on their list to not make the 8 next year, and thompson should have a better year coaching.
Sainters: New coach, still got a decent list. good enough to beat half the competition.
Ninthmond...nuff said.
Us: Realistically we will prob bounce back to middle of the field. Optimistically we would make the 8....who knows.
and well who really cares about the rest.
thoughts?
what are your feelings on next season?
cheers
