Where would you have them? 

Dogs have an excellent inside mid rotation even without Dunkley. I'd have them second after us. The wings or lack thereof is problematic but the core of their midfield is still excellent.

GWS have what should be one of the better starting trios in the league, with Green, Kelly & Cogs. Finn Callaghan & Lachie Whitfield as wing options too. 

I'd have Dogs #2 & GWS ahead of several teams listed above them on that list.

Alas the game is played on grass & not paper....!

These articles are subjective and based on lasts years stats and trades. 

Giants have / had a lot of talent but always fail to deliver.

Hunter and Dunkley are two massive outs for the dogs, yes they still have Bont, Libba, Macrae and Treloar but losing talent has to hurt. 
 

Cats are another year older, Danger is 32, Gutherie isn’t a gun. 
 

Interesting season ahead, only 5/6 clubs with a real chance.

My top 4 would be Melbourne, Carlton , Brisbane and Dogs.

Richmond ranked at 5 is ridiculous as I would even have the filth ranked above them.

  • Premiership player
  • All Australian
  • 2xB&Fs, including one in a premiership season

He'd be, arguably, in the top half dozen players at Melbourne IMHO.

There’s no arguably about it, no chance, wouldn’t even be top 10.

Not sure about top half dozen...but Guthrie is a jet. Balanced & skilled, would compliment us really well actually!

Ahead of Clarry May Trac Maxy Lingers Fritta and Lever?

Regardless of where you rate Gutherie, we have arguably the no.1 midfield in comp, we’ve had the no.1 ranked defence over the last 2 seasons. We finished the H & A season last year 2nd after playing some ordinary predictable football in the back half of the season, along with a few injuries. An argument could be made for our depth compared to other top 4 hopefuls. Barring major injuries to a number of players there are simply no excuses this season, none. Top 2 finish is a must. 

Edited by Bombay Airconditioning

If you just go by the center bounce starting four, you could reasonably argue that...

Gawn, Oliver, Viney, Harmes

and

Grundy, Petracca, Brayshaw, Pickett

...would both be in the top 10. Neither would be first, but both sets would compete with any other team at a bounce.

  • DRAFT: The Next Generation

    It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

  • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

    A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
