Brownlow - Ablett
Coleman - Cameron
Grand Final - Fremantle vs Hawthorn

[Squids]

Teams that can definitely make the 8

Dockers, Swans, Hawks, Pies, Cats, Crows, Eagles, Roos, Tigers, Power

Just miss

Suns, Blues

Highly Unlikely to nil chance

Demons, Saints, Lions, Giants, Bulldogs, Bombers



Bolded Teams will be looking for a new coach if their teams don't play finals football.

Coleman - Riewoldt (Tigers still have zero other goal kickers)
Brownlow - Ablett (Barring Injury)
Rising Star - Martin (I'll buy the hype)
GF - Replay of 2013

[woodublieve12]

I predict these 3 will be very hard to match up on... Intriguing situation with how the swans use them and how opposition teams matchup on them

[Squids]

Hopefully the karma bus comes rolling on by.

Reid is a giant spud anyway.

gold coast to push for the eight this year, but fall short. adelaide and north melbourne the teams outside the eight that will be well in the eight this year, carlton and collingwood to drop out.

i think this finally might be the year that geelong start to slide a bit, but they have done so well managing their list, it wont be far, they will still be around the mark

st kilda to finish bottom

yeah Sanderson will be sacked if crows miss the finals??
Just got two years added to his current contract.

[Squids]

After being a kick away from a grand final in his first year as coach to miss the finals two years in a row would bring concerns to Crows management. Considering having the cattle of PADDY RORY AND TEX (best three players in the AFL according to the Adelaide media) missing the finals is going to have some questions asked. If they get cut up by injury then well he will probably survive. Crows have the cash to payout coaches.
