I want to be optimistic, but every club can improve. I’m sure every fan site is full of the reasons why their team will be better in 2025.
So realistically…
Eleven teams are starting 2025 in front of us.
Some have had a better draft result (eg Brisbane).
Some have players coming back from injury (eg Carlton, Collingwood).
Some recruited stars from other clubs (eg Collingwood).
Some had great years but just fell short (eg GWS, Hawthorn).
Some have young guns who are ahead of ours (eg Geelong)
And of those below us…
One has a gift-from-heaven 2025 draw (ie, the GC Suns).
One failed to meet expectations in 2024 despite a good list, and can be expected to bounce back (ie, Adelaide).
Help!
