Here's my final 8...
Geelong
Western Bulldogs
Hawthorn
Collingwood
Brisbane
Adelaide
Sydney
North Melbourne

The Crows are lucky to have started the season off well otherwise I believe we would've struggled making the 8. Geelong are just an awsome unit. They'll win it again, probably over the Bulldogs. Give Hawthorn 2 years and they'll win one. Collingwood far too hot and cold but should make it to the top 4.

stkilda = late run

Yes I agree that the final will be between bulldogs and cats. The cats wowed me when playing adelaide - their cohesion, skills in finding kicking and hand passing targets, the way they constantly have players presenting meant free flowing great-to watch footy and i only saw highlights of the game GO CATS !!

I think the top 8 will be
Geelong
Dogs
Hawks
Pies
Swans
Adelaide
Brisbane
Kangaroos

Swans and Adelaide have a very tough draw from now on so i think Collingwood can def get 4th. They must beat Adelaide and Sydney though to get it.
Sydney have us, Hawks, Geelong, Adelaide and the Dogs which is very very tough.

Cats
Dogs
Hawks
Swans
Pies
Crows
Lions
North Melbourne

in the Grand Final it will be either the Cats Vs Dogs Or Cats and Hawks.
