I’d love to see Brisbane get knocked off, and I hope you’re wrong about St Kilda.

I think Sydney will be a bit stronger with a half decent forward in Curnow if he keeps fit.

Im hoping Gold Coast miss the eight and we can finish above Essendon.

The two rules of predicting a ladder:

1) Ensure you have turnover in the top 8. 9 out of the last 10 years you’ve had at least 3 changes to the top 8 from one year to the next.

2) Since the AFL became an 18 team league, at least one elimination final loser will miss the finals the next year. Take it to the bank that Freo or GWS will miss finals next year.

1) GC

2) Brisbane

3) Hawthorn

4) Geelong

5) Sydney

6) St Kilda

7) Fremantle

8) Bulldogs

9) Adelaide

(I’ve predicted us to have a 5-18 season but I really have no idea how we’ll go next year)

x2, Clint.

We should have Giants, Dockers, Dogs, Swans, Blues, Saints twice and the rest once. I reckon 5/12 of those twices and 5/11 of the onces is feasible. That's clear 11th in 2025.

I lit candles... and consulted someone who may or may not be Max....

He might know but but I've nfi !!

Id wager better than 14th ...
