1. Vikings - hard to see them dropping off
2. Flies - quality ins mixed with younger guys who have now been exposed to A grade footy should spell a good year
3. Shoes - always around the mark and have been slowly building for a while now. Mitton's last chance
4. Roos - gradual improvement over the last three years, should now expect to win most games. Won't do any damage in September
5. Cockledivers - improved a lot last year, should continue in 2013
6. Cobras - a bit like Porties, but not quite at the same level
7. Emus - on face value, not a lot of ins from last year. Would not have been happy missing finals last year
8. Falcons - unerachiever
9. Bombers - will fall far. Too many quality players gone. Will follow path of Flies and Emus from 2012
10. Hawks - splashing cash at kids for the second year in a row will see them improve
11. Saints - improving but still a long way off
12. Lions - hard to see them beating teams above them but will improve on last year and still be competitive for two or three quarters of most matches
12. Rams - better than last year but still a weekly struggle for Keamy, especially as injuries take hold and motivation falls away mid year
13. Sharks - same as the last eight or so years. Will probably show improvement during the opening month but drop away quickly after that

5. Shoes - Around the mark, but not quite good enough

7. Falcons -Perennial underachievers. They have the cattle, but not the heart
8. Cove - Disappointing last year, can't see any real change this year
9. Bombers -Simply too many outs to be competitive
10. Saints - Could finish higher, look to be building a much better side
11. Hawks - Juniors will not make up for their lack of genuine talent at the club
12. Lions - Will battle hard, but just not enough talent
12. Rams - Nothing to excite their followers yet
13. Sharks - Nothing to see here

What happened to Towns were do you place them ??????
They may fly under every ones radar this season. Have lost a few players, but see good numbers on the track.

Bit harsh afc9798 given the list Cove had in 2012 they did very well to get to where they finished, losing 3 talls before the season started had to hurt. Only lost to the shoes as they ran out of talls and Ramsey had his face shattered all in all a good year. 2013 might just surprise a few..

Do have proven depth through the B grade, which may just keep them in the hunt for a 8 - 12 finishing position. Unfortunately appears to be a backward step after a few years of matching it with the real powerhouses of the competition.

This i would agree with Flaggies showed a lot of promise in 2011, then they needed to continue in 2012 but only to go backwards.
They have lost a lot and gain only a few, but led to believe that purse strings were closed tight(as they have a healthy bank account) and the Coach should have bowed out at the end of last season.
But things could change after the bonding weekend (at Loxton)with minimal footballers attending, only 1/3 of its Senior's A & B attending. great start for a team that wants to improve
I to don't rated Flaggies in the top 8 more like in the the group of 11 to 15.[/quote
Mass exodus ???
Who has left? I know of smith SANFL and Shane Heinrich to Peake. Do agree tho loss of a couple of key players could send flaggies spiralling down the ladder.
