Geelong - Boring.

Adelaide - I rate them. I reckon all they need is a season or two in the doldrums then they come crashing back to premiership contenders.

Port Adelaide - Good enough. May be being kind here.

West Coast - Judd and Cousins weren't there last season and they still made top 4. They'll not win the flag but they're still a great club.

Collingwood - McChins factor.

Brisbane - I rate them. Have a LOT of players that are hard to stop, and Johnstone is a great trade for them.

Hawthorn - They're the good stuff, but they're not there yet.

Fremantle - Will keep up the best MFC traditions of one year on one year off. They have the list. Harvey will need one full season to become a premiership threatening coach.

St. Kilda - Hard to fit them in. They have a good list still, just some holes...

Carlton - Wanted to make them 9th.

Essendon - Even with Knights...

Sydney - Crash...

Western Bulldogs - Never rated them.

North Melbourne - Were NEVER the real deal. Played 8 positions above themselves last year.

Richmond - Will battle it out with:

Melbourne - Hate me all you want. I like our list, but it's all young guys and old guys... We are 14th at best IMO...

Boring??? If the Cats are boring I must be watching the wrong game, they went out and pumped everyone last year with hard direct footy.

I would love the Dees to be boring like that!!

i think it was meant boring as in boring prediction, as in that's what everyone will say

Geelong - Boring choice

Fremantle - Geelong 2007

West Coast - Kerr, Cox, Glass have big shoulders.

Brisbane - Great midfield and Brown.

Adelaide - Really rate their maturing youngster. Reilly, Van Berlo, Thompson, Douglas, Knight, Doughty, Tippett etc.

St Kilda - Drop G train and make Kozie their main man. They need luck with injury.

Hawthorn - Tanking coming together.

Melbourne - We could go higher but everything must go right. List is thin but if we can reach the top (abeit for one round) in 2004, it gives me hope.

Neitz, Robbo, Mclean, Jones and Rivers needs to be on the field.

Collingwood - Youngsters to have second year blues.

Port - Youngsters to have second year blues.

Sydney - The Afl are after the Swans.

North - Great effort last year but may fall back.

Bullies - Welsh and Hudson are over rated. Griffen will be a massive boost this year.

Essendon - Will fall in a hole mid season.

Carlton - Tank again you #$^&*^(&(

Richmond - Richmond

If you look at our list seriously we have mostly 2 types of players...

1) players who are up-n-coming, however there best footy is still 2 years away...i speak of Pettard, Frawley, Morton, Grimes, Mclean, Sylvia, Jones, Bate, Buckley, Weetra, Newton etc...

2) players who are extremely experienced, however are atleast 2 seasons past there best...i speak of Yze, White, Neitz, McDonald, Holland, Robertson etc...

in fact, the only players who are 'supposedly' in the prime are bruce, green, Miller and Carrol...who have all proven huge dissapointments and have not lived up to their potential.

it is for this reason i can't see us getting out of the bottom 4 this year. our hope is that our players who are 2 seasons away from their best will live up to expectations...

Why do so many rate freo...I dont.. they will come right back to the pack big time in 08

Teams I will concede are better than us,well.... ought to finish higher:

Geelong, Westies, Sainters, Adelaide, Swannies and i'll rate Hawthorn. Port..maybe...could slide though. Brisbane may be the dark horse. The Wobblies I expect to wobble there way down the ladder.

None of the rest I think are any better than us.

I predict Dees 7th or 8.

Here goes:

Port Adelaide

Hawthorn

Fremantle

Collingwood

West Coast

Adelaide

Brisbane

Kangaroos

Carlton

Sydney

Western Bulldogs

Melbourne

Essendon

Richmond

Port Adelaide's youngsters will improve greatly - they have a gun list.

Gee I hope I'm wrong, but there are just so many sides which seem to be improving more rapidly than us.

Given a decent run with injuries, we are still a chance to make the eight.

Melbourne is a team that rides hard on confidence.

When we're going, we flying. When we're struggling, we're shizen.

The first 5 rounds include a Hawthorn, Bulldogs, Geelong, Kangaroos and Carlton.

I would head into 4 out of the 5 contests confident.

When you're confident and up and about, it's amazing how you can win the tight ones throughout the year.

Yes

Bailey has to clean up 10 years of terrible player management. We have some great young kids, but nobody over the age of 26 that is anything close to a superstar (Neitz is a legened and I love him, but hes almost done)

Unfortunately I can not see Melbourne finishing any higher than bottom three. It doest seem that our middle tier players have stepped up and we will be in a rebuilding stage for the foreseeable future.

2008 will be a tough year.....

yep bottom 3 for me, can't go any better than that, young list with few blokes who are past their prime

Yze_magic...

even if we win less than 5 games this year (which we realistically might), our priority pick will only be AFTER the first round (i.e. picks 1, 17, 18)...

you only get a priority pick before the first round (i.e. 1,2,17) if you have less than 5 wins 2 years in a row...

that carlton game in round 22 which we won could have more consequences than first imagined

Only 2 Victorian teams to make the eight. The Saints have the most talent of the sides out of the eight, but have an injury prone list. The Pies to take the biggest fall. Adelaide the big improvers.

As for Melbourne, I agree with Jacey. If our list was currently injury free, 4 wins in the first 5 games was a possibility. However it looks to me that a vast chunk of our senior players will enter the season underdone or not available.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
