Kidding yourself with Brisbane, Voss destroyed that list in a matter of weeks. They may improve this year, but only slightly, and in the long-term they're screwed now.
To me, there will be three main groups, the top 6, which I think is set, the middle 4 who will battle for a finals spot and the bottom 6:
Geelong
Hawthorn
Adelaide
St.Kilda
Bulldogs
Collingwood
______________
West Coast
Brisbane
_____________
Carlton
Essendon
______________
Port Adelaide
North Melbourne
Fremantle
Sydney
Melbourne
Richmond
The big improvers will be WCE IMO. They have one of the best young lists in the league and could surprise some people.
I don't have a Brownlow pick just yet but Buddy for the Coleman and Jack Ziebell for the Rising Star just over Dustin Martin. Brad Sheppard's a smoky.
BTW, I went to put a bet on Buddy for the Coelman yesterday at the TAB, but they don't have a market on that (or the Rising Star). Does anyone know where I can chuck $50 on him without signing up for an internet service?
