Reckon its a pretty huge game against Collingwood. They are playing decent footy lately and they travel well.
I am pretty confident about Brisbane Essendon West Coast
Port is always tricky, Geelong i think we will lose, and freo could be anything in a months time
Centrebet has us as equal favourites with Hawthorn and Sydney to go top @3.75, and $1.20 to finish top 4
Equal second favourites for the flag @5.5 with Geelong and Sydney, Hawthorn @4.25
I really dont feel as confident as the bookies here. Probably more a function of the fact that none of the other teams seem to be that good either.
Seems like a prime year to grab a flag when you probably didnt think you were that close, before GWS get really good in the next few years

Will win all of those.
Will finish top 2 easily.

I reckon we've won more premierships than we have games at Geelong!

Everyone myself included thought with the loss of Dangerfield and the tough early schedule we would be in for a long year and with the tragic circumstances of last year would perhaps understandably go backwards this year but full credit to Don Pyke and the players I haven't seen the Crows play with such hunger and fight and playing an attractive brand of footy in such a long time.
The come from behind win against West Coast in Perth confirmed we were a legitimately serious team.

Adelaide, GWS and the Dogs are going in eyes wide open not knowing exactly how their systems are going to hold up in the big games where as the Hawks and Swans will be at their most workman like in the last three weeks of the year.
Adelaide are neck deep in 2016 though, finish top 2 and probably get Sydney or GWS in Adelaide week 1 with a home prelim on offer for the winner and anything is possible.
For mine, Adelaide want to avoid Sydney. The win over them early this year is the stuff that quality sides remember and want to even up, avoid them and Hawthorn until prelim weekend at all costs.

There is a clear reason why he gets so many...for a 199cm 100kg big man, who is always matched up on similar if not smaller players, he has the speed over the first 20m to burn away most if not all of them and get out ahead towards the goal.
The fact that the media keep questioning why teams "allow" this to happen...have a think and maybe they have plans in place to stop it but do not have the speed in their key backs to execute it?
Put a man behind the ball on the goal line and another forward is free hence they cannot do this.
Keep talking him down guys, it helps with the Crows chances of keeping him on affordable money.

You don't see more value in performing well against better opposition?
