What happens during trade week might or might not change the order of the ladder. I accept your ideals about waiting for then conclusion of trade week to finalise your thoughts.

However this current Top 8 by Chad has about as much chance at happening as Robert Harvey playing in a Geelong premiership next year.

Fremantle 3, are you kidding me? They are or already have lost a significant amount of experience and can't see them acquiring jack in the trade. People want to get out of the club not in!

WCE 5, their form this year indicated exactly where they are without Judd and Cousins. They are now rebuilding and could lose one of the best midfielders in the AFL in Kerr. No chance to make the 8.
Collingwood, 8th. Finished 6th this year without 4 of their best players and playing kids. Much more likely to finish Top 4.

Where is Carlton??? Where is Adelaide???

Seriously Chad, if that's your eight I would put some money on it as you would probably get a return of $60,000 for every $1 you bet.
