I was bullish on Sydney all year.

If they beat GWS in the first final things could have been very different.

 

Agreed. They were a serious threat. 
Sydney play contested Football, and they understand the Team ethos 

Their last Quarter against GW$ was a shocker, should have beaten them easily, but didn’t. 

Really hard to read for next year. A LOT of clubs had injuries to significant players, or in high numbers (gold Coast, GWS, St Kilda etc...). There are a lot of factors to come into play across the pre-season training period.

Richmond could do anything from making the top 4, finishing 12th, or returning to their natural place in the pecking order - 9th. 

GWS, Fremantle, Carlton, Essendon and maybe even Gold Coast could rise.

The only real mistake on the list is Geelong. The assistant coaches they have lost, the age of their list, the huge salaries for stars, their decision by Selwood to keep going - a difficult year coming up for them.
