Over-rated: Eagles, Saints. No forwards left by finals time.
Under-rated: Geelong, Bulldogs, Adelaide.

The Pies will be a worry too, if they can keep Buckley, Rocca, Didak and Fraser all on the field at the same time.

Over rated the Bulldogs. They wont make the finals. No forward line and will miss Darcy more than last year.

St Kilda, West Coast and Geelong are the only 3 chances.

You forgot one.

I don't think Adelaide will be as good. It's possible, but they had a really good run with injuries..

Over-rated: definitely Saints. I think they'll crack under the pressure of having to deliver with such an (allegedly) talented list after recent near misses.

BTW - has the G(as in gorilla) train confirmed he's playing on? - missed that news if he has!

Under-rated - definitely Geelong; good young list.

West Coast I think. A predictable guess I suppose, but they were very close last year (obviously!) and are young. If a key forward popped up for them, there'd be trouble for the other teams.

However we had been in the finals for the last two years as well, and we had had awful injuries in 04. The Crows would have been mid-range if it wern't for the good run.
