Zero finals wins for Richmond
Dimma first coach replaced

I don't think Essendon will come last. Carlton for wooden spoon and Bombers either 16th or 17th. Hawks don't make it 4 in a row and Geelong don't make top 4

Perhaps, we'll just have to wait and see. I simply think for 2016 purposes Essendon's best 22 is better than Carlton's

Be it that I am a Pies supporter and I love how you have got them 6th, but I would be happy if we came 8th and just sneak in because we will beat hawthorn (last game) and they will end up coming 5th and we will basically ruin their chances to win 4 in a row so we can save our only record left.

I think Richmond have to make top 4 this year. In the praccy matches so far, they have looked really organised and their structure is good. They show confidence in each other. I hope they don't, but you have to call it as you see it, even if I want to thump some of their supporters. (old time ghettos wars are returning).
North, basically who cares. Sorry to offend the few, but honestly they beat the drums but only cymbals can be heard. They have to make the 8, let alone the top 4. Same pressure on them as the Tigers. Not sure how Tiges lost to North last year, but they did. One of these teams will have a trailer of sheep poo dumped at the door of their social club at the end of this year.
Geelong will be lucky to make the top 8, I don't think Danger will be able to fix some of the other issues they have. However they have a good draw apparently, but as we all know that can change, depending who out of the eight has a red hot go. I think that the team that could have a red hot go could include Melbourne and Collingwood.
Melbourne because if they win more than loose in the early part of the year, they could get a good run with confidence and then who knows.
Collingwood could be anything, but skills under pressure and back line decision making is horrible. Lucky to make top 8 really. Cross fingers Ben Reid, smoky if he stays on the park for fantasy. The intra club game he was huge. How we kicked only 5 behinds in the NAB cup beggars belief. Travis has to play wing now. No longer can he play fwd, misses to often and even after trying new kicking routines over the past 10 years, he still is crap. I just think the coaches have to know this now, we have lost so many matches in the past 2 years because of horrible kicking for goal. He isn't the only one of course but he sets the tempo.
Dogs have nothing to loose, still young and if I compared them to the pies, their skills are so good and really have a good mix of players. I think they should easily make the top 4 this year.
West Coast, home advantage top 4
Fremantle, home advantage top 4. But won't win GF
Sydney, I think people have mis judged them this year, I can't see why they couldn't make the top 4. They had a horrible year last year, and as an opposition supporter I was fine with this, but I think with a number of key mids coming back from injury and Franklin if switched on and if he has the desire then who knows. It comes down to wanting it. I suppose their backline is questionable and are they to slow on the big grounds now that the game has changed and the defence lock down is now being usurped.
Adelaide is an interesting team, even if they have lost Danger, I think if M Crouch can get back to good form he is a natural replacement.
They have a good ruck, good big forwards and their skills aren't to bad, so you would have to say they will make the 8.
Port, I am still not sure how they were so good, they will really miss the two suspended players, I think they will be lucky to make the 8 to be honest.
GC and GWS anyones guess.
Lions are just horrible and keep on talking up their side, and have done each pre season for the past 10+ years.
St.kilda, getting ready for the following next 3 years, will upset a few but really will get spanked in the backline. I hope Nick does a Richo this year and plays on the wing.
Carlton and Essendon LOL couldn't be more happy

Carlton & Essendon are just warming up for their H&A match as it will be the only chance they will get to have a win. Actually the Lions will also have a chance also. Imagine if a few Bomber players get reported

Cats premiership! They are getting so hyped, it will be hilarious when they struggle. Of course they may make top 8, but top 4 I doubt and Premiership is really stretching it!
