Dark horse for me is GWS.  They really deserved to make and perhaps even win the GF last year- only thing that got in their way was the ‘umpire assisted premiers’ aka ‘the Ferals’ in the preliminary final.

I reckon he let us down badly and maybe cost us another flag going home...

I hope they never win one in his time there.

He can come back if he want's another flag.

Agreed. I get absolutely no satisfaction or enjoyment watching Luke Jackson in a Freo jumper.

He’s the type of ruck/forward we wanted Grundy to be, and we now have a painfully obvious void in that position this year.

If Freo are playing a Carlton on GF day, I’d prefer them to win, but they’re certainly not high on my preferences.

Fremantle will win their first flag

Based on their games against us i can't see anyone beating Fremantle. They have talen all over the ground and a coach that exploits the oppositions weakness

I reckon a battle between the droughts of 1995s - Blues or Dockers.

If he can come back in a Trent Croad situation and win us another flag then yes, I definitely want him back.

Whichever club can go on a run from now on ...

 

probably one of the most even and hardest to pick years i can remember

on their day any of the current 8 has a chance

i think 3 are slightly ahead on form and record - swans, lions and wanchors

a lot will depend on late form, fitness, luck, injuries and home ground advantage

i wouldn't be putting money on any

How badly do you wanna say “The Blues”??? 😁

I chose Carlton for sentimental reasons but I genuinely think they’ll win it.

As long as Essendon don’t stand a chance… I won’t have to move outta my suburb.

+1 

I don't actively follow old friends of the club and will them to be successful but give me Jesse winning with GWS over that anyday.

Even Harmes and Baker with the Doggies would be more preferable.

This is likely the correct answer. 

He who is in the running and has the best next 6 weeks wins.

I am going to go Carlton because this is what the AFL wants, and just like last year with the Pies, what the AFL wants the AFL gets.

Brisbane will [censored] the bed again in finals.

yes I totally agree, the year post flag he totally laid down I thought and was a non contributor, really should have been dropped, no I can't forgive him yet for that, too blatant I'm afraid, but I will say he probably is the one player that we haven't come close to replacing unfortunately

The Blues can win it. If Carlton were to hit the form we had late last season it is definitely possible. Will we regain that form? ... remains to be seen. Giving the Pies a pasting tomorrow night would be a good way to start! 😁

Essendon probably won't make the 8 and if they manage to scrape in will be bundled out straight away IMHO.

Demonland stood up well in this poll

Over 64% had Sydney or Brisbane winning the flag

Although, we did have Freo as next best with 12.82%!!
