OK here is a thread for AFL 2009 season.
Predictions, thoughts and game analysis in here!
My Ladder:
1. Geelong - Cant see them losing too many
2. Hawthorn - Great effort last year, think they will be hard to beat again.
3. Adelaide - Always perform pretty well at home and think they will be up there again
4. Fremantle - Surprise packet of the year, loads of potential that failed to deliver but will step up.
5. Carlton - Got to put my side up here, Again, loads of young players gaining more experience and with CJ there, his professionalism will rub off.
6. Bulldogs - Good year last year and to carry on again this year.
7. Brisbane - New coach, strong side, Home games help.
8. Sydney - Uncanny way of nuggeting out wins.
9. Richmond - Even Ben Cousins wont be able to get the King of the 9th place into the 8!
10 - North Melb - Lot of people wrote them off last year, Wont be as strong as last year.
11. Collingwood - Due for a form slump, this is the year for rebuilding.
12. St.Kilda - Very poor year, Not much depth so Injuries may hurt.
13. Port Adelaide - Rebuilding needed, bad recruiting (Carr)
14. West Coast - 1-2 more years needed
15. Melbourne - 1 better than last year, only 1 better though!
16. Essendon - Llyod, Lucas, Fletcher, too old, too small.
Brownlow Medal - Matthew Pavlich - Umps love him, polled something crazy like 18-19 votes last year and Freo had a shite year! More games won - more votes for the Pav.
Premiership - Geelong to bounce back.
Coleman - Fev to kick 109 for the year including a bag of 11 and 13 (fingers crossed)
Surprise packet of the year - Freo - should have gone a lot better than they did last year, tall forward line, midfield young and fast, Sandilands All Australian form, think they will surprise a lot this year!
Most Improved players - Brad Dalziell (Brisbane) - going to be a gun
Taylor Walker - Adelaide - like the look of him and think he will get a good go this year
Well they are my predictions for the year, Fellow AFL followers lets hear yours!
