Initially I thought that only Adelaide and Richmond would be replaced by the Geelong and Port Adelaide in the top eight this year, but the more I think about it I think this year will be one of the most even ever.

Aside from Essendon, Brisbane and Carlton who probably are the bottom three (Carlton will improve a lot under Bolton), I think just about every team can make the finals this year, even Melbourne.

Much as l detest the idea, I would replace Port with the Pies, especially after yesterday's games.

Agree, for me the interesting one is Sydney, the still have a lot of quality which will win them x amount of games but they are now regretting losing Mumford. Buddy and Tippet still haven't gelled as initially thought and their defence is now a concern. They have Rohan but lack pace around the ground and drive off half back. Early games against GWS and Collingwood will be interesting.

Strangely, i can't settle on anyone to finish in first. I've got all of the top 4 slipping a bit this year. So, here we go...
 

1.Geelong

2. Fremantle

3. Bulldogs

4. Hawthorn

5. Sydney

6. Richmond

7. Melbourne

8. Port Adelaide

I see it being very even from 1 to 5, and then a great big cluster from 6-10 which obviously includes West Coast (crash!), Collingwood(flatlined), North(retired), Adelaide(dangerless) and GWS (failed to graduate).

Gold Coast will fill an otherwise large chunk of fresh air before we count the struggling teams, Brisbane, St Kilda, Carlton and Essendon.

Premiers: Geelong, defeating the Bulldogs.

Spoon: Essendon.

Brownlow: Fyfe

Coleman: Franklin

Rising Star: Mills

1. Fremantle

2. West Coast (apart from the derby a record every game played at Subiaco or wherever they play now to be a victory to the home team. A double up fortress and a joy for all WA footy fans. Second Derby to be a bloodbath with a Freo player ending up with a handfull of Priddis's hair)

3. GWS. (big improvers)

4. Richmond

5. North

6. Pies

7. Hawks (maybe I'm just hopefull but I think they'll slip)

8. Swans

Brownlow Fyfe

Coleman Kennedy

Rising Star Petracca

dont think the Dogs will back up there season last year.  best senior players all on the wrong side of 30 and that should start to show, much harder draw too

i think we'll see the rise of two of my least favourite teams in GWS and the Pies.  think Port will just miss out as well.

This is difficult as i think there will be a bunch in the middle (and I haven't compared draws whichmay be decisive).

Swans to slide (but they noe will paly all games at the SCG whihc is a big advantage for them). No idea about North or Ninthmond.

    TRAINING: Friday 8th December 2023

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatcher Picket Fence endured the sweltering heat on a windy day out at Casey Fields to bring you the following Preseason Training Report. Blustery day at Casey, Ground NOT OPEN?? and the only other people I saw were one bloke on the far side and another Man and Woman also watching around the south Goals, had a small pair of Binoculars but looking through the fence was problematic.

    BACK TO BASE CAMP by Meggs

    Congratulations to the Brisbane Lions.   Undefeated in all 6 matches against the top teams (North Melbourne, Adelaide, Geelong, and Melbourne). They are worthy winners of the 2023 AFLW premiership.   Our ambition for a Season 8 back-to-back premiership was derailed.   In round 6 Adelaide spilled the beans on the template to outplay us. From there news spread fast to other top teams who applied similar intense physical pressure at the source which crushed our gameplan to execute vi

    PODCAST: Jason Taylor Interview

    I'm interviewing the Melbourne Football Club Recruitment Manager Jason Taylor early next week on the Demonland Podcast. I'll be asking him about moving up the draft order, our new recruits (both Draftees and Trades), Daniel Curtin, our recent recruits who have yet to play a senior game, who he thinks will be the next Judd McVee and more. If you have any further questions let me know below and I'll see if I can squeeze them in. I will release the podcast either Monday or Tuesday.

    TOO LITTLE TOO LATE by Meggs

    It was a hot afternoon at IKON where the ferocious Cats came to play, had read the manual on how to beat us and the Demons were unable to match them for the first three quarters.     With physical pressure, they took the game on with relative ease and though our resistance seemed better than the previous two weeks it was still not good enough.     Within the opening minute, Kate Hore marks within range, but her shot was a miss-kick, like a fat iron, and it kinda set a flat tone f

    TURNAROUND by Meggs

    Following successive comprehensive defeats by fellow Top Four heavyweights the Demons play down a division this Sunday against the highly promising Cats.     Strangely, no games against the Cats for five seasons and now we play them twice in one season.     With the blueprint on how to defeat the Dees available on the dark web the real question is, will we crumble again under the finals pressure cooker or will we rediscover our #DemonSpirit and execute a turnaround?   Mak

    THE SECRET IS OUT by Meggs

    We were expecting that after last week’s comprehensive defeat by Brisbane, our coach Mick Stinear would have his charges coming out breathing finals fire. Instead, it was North who had the aggression, the numbers, who blocked our scoring avenues and rendered us impotent, unable to match the Kangas during any phase of the match.   Darren Crocker, the North coach, later highlighted that how to beat Melbourne is no secret following recent losses to Adelaide and Brisbane and now North.
