[Little Goffy 14,468]

Premier: Melbourne Demons

Moving up: Melbourne, obviously, but also Footscray
Set to fall: Cooooollllingsplat.
Brownlow Medal: Christian Petracca

Demon B&F: May, Oliver, Petracca, Fritsch, Gawn, Langdon, Pickett, Viney, Salem, Lever
Big call: Big call after tipping us for the premiership?  Hmm...

Gawn, Petracca and Oliver will be considered the top three players in the game by the end of the year.  Legends will be sung.

At some point Charlie Cameron will kick 30 goals in a run of six or seven games.

Edit:  Adding one more thought - there will be a lot of teams with very few wins and very poor percentage this year.  Think 2016; seven teams with 15+ wins, a couple of stragglers 3 games behind that competing for the also-ran status in finals, then nothing worth remembering

Ladder prediction:
1. Brisbane
2. West Coast
3. Richmond
4. Melbourne
5. Geelong
6. Footscray
7. Port Adelaide
8. St Kilda or Carlton or loose change

...I hadn't actually paid any attention to that, but now that you bring it up, I'm thinking you wouldn't be really unhappy about being proven wrong there 😂.

To be honest, it hasn't surprised me at all to see the decline of the likes of Collingwood, Geelong, West Coast and to an extent Richmond.  All those teams have a large number of key players on their lists who have slowly fossilized over the past few seasons.  I've been somewhat expecting our list to deliver in their mental maturity for a few seasons now as I think that was the only thing holding us back and now that it seems to have clicked in that respects, I fully expect to blow the aforementioned teams off the park more often than not, with the superior physical fitness that comes from our core players being in their prime window.

GO THE MIGHTY DEMONS!!
