I'm terrible at this kind of stuff. Probably over-rated Fremantle and Geelong.

I like Port, if Butters, Rozee and JHF all improve in 2025 then they aren't going to be far from the mark at all.

Adelaide's best is pretty decent, beat 4 finalists last year and drew with Brisbane and then only lost by two goals. Like the players they have added.

Gut feel Hawks were a bit of a flash in the pan last year, wont improve at the rate people expect. Probably wrong though.

1 Brisbane
2 Sydney
3 Port Adelaide
4 Fremantle
5 Geelong
6 GWS
7 Adelaide
8 Carlton

9 Hawthorn
10 Western Bulldogs
11 Melbourne
12 Collingwood
13 Essendon
14 Gold Coast
15 North Melbourne
16 St Kilda
17 West Coast
18 Richmond

Did you use squiggle or is it just a stab in the dark?

FWIW, I think the Hawks are on the verge of something special, they're ahead of schedule though.

Stab in the dark.

I only said Hawks to maybe not progress as much as every season there is a team that surpasses expectations and one that fails expectations. I figured it might as well have been them :)

I always find the draft too heavily weighted, my predictor is not even close to how I'd rate the teams from strongest to weakest.

Is 15th regarded as "just missing"?

Everyone has Adelaide in their eight when they've got a coach who isn't smart enough to realise a giant Blowie is sitting on his head. He's bald too, no excuses for that shit.

Don't ever change brother. You're mob are screwed. The Pies will whinge about your dive duck dodge and dodge routine and your baggy shorts midgets won't get any free kicks. Season over.
