Last year I made my prediction in relation to how the new football season would turn out. I made some glaring misreadings of teams, which were evident when the season ended. So, now that my relative credentials have been revealed (rather than established), let me delve into the waters of prediction once more...
1. Adelaide - misread them badly last year. Hopefully again this year ;-)
2. Geelong - well placed for a tilt at the big one. My current tip for the flag
3. West Coast - if they can keep their minds on football
4. St Kilda - still have reservations about their ability to go all the way.
5. Sydney - their strength is their team
6. Fremantle - they have different mind problems to West Coast. Could surprise.
7. Western Bulldogs - have lost Darcy already, but some real class still in the squad.
8. Richmond - had them here last year. But they are getting better every year (or at least last year!)
9. Melbourne - could go as high as fifth
10. Kangaroos - good even team, but don't think they can go all the way
11. Essendon - time for rebuilding.
12. Brisbane - injuries already taking their toll as they rebuild.
13. Collingwood - have some good players back but the engine room is still superceded by a number of seasons.
14. Port Adelaide - their theme song "We'll never stop, stop, stop, until we're top, top, top!" gives them away. They were top two years ago. And they are still coming to a stop.
15. Hawthorn - might make an early jump, but too many young bodies
16. Carlton - building for the future, and still digging the foundations
The first tip for the season? West Coast to beat St Kilda! Premiership? Geelong (at this stage) Brownlow? Deledio! (or I could toss a coin!)
Seal up the box until the end of August.

Don't blame me.... I don't choose the players, or the coach! :-)
