Today my eldest C asked me to nominate my ladder for the AFL at the end of the home and away season. I'll record it here for posterity.
1. Port Adelaide (hard to go past at this stage)
2. St Kilda (perennial bridesmaid)
3. West Coast (strong midfield)
4. Brisbane (ageing, but still strong)
5. Sydney (some good up-and-coming players)
6. Geelong (could go better, but they've stolen Ottens)
7. Fremantle (just 'cos they need to)
8. Richmond (I'm ever the optimist!)
9. Carlton (Can't bring myself to let them in the top 8)
10. Kangaroos (Still not strong enough)
11. Essendon (How long can you win off Hird? Getting too old, not enough new blood)
12. Collingwood (And that's optimistic!)
13. Western Bulldogs (Slowly on the improve)
14. Melbourne (It's an odd-numbered year! --- and I had left them out inadvertently until here!)
15. Adelaide (who have they got?)
16. Hawthorn (they don't seem like too happy a team at the moment)
Seal up the box until the end of August.
Season kicks off on Thursday. First tip? Brisbane... or St Kilda!
