2012 top 8

[GongSwan]

Well it's a topsy turvey year so far to round 9, and with Geelong scraping home against the Doggies and Richmond belting the Hawks, how would u pick a top 8 right now? Bombers, West Coast and Crows look to be the teams to beat, Carlton have fallen into a large hole, Hawks appear gone, and Cats vulnerable. Some of the usual suspects might be missing this year, and some up and comers might make it. One might expect Essendon to fall in hole at some point, but with their current injury list keep winning games, same as Eagles, unless Dangerfield and Thompson suddenly disappear hard to see the Crows faltering, that only leaves us p 4 to play for, along with Pies Tigers and maybe even the Dogs (unlikely I know). Will the Pies trip over Buckleys shoelaces? CAn Richmond maintain form, are the Hawks really done ????? It's a hard call right now

I just turned on the set and it said that the tigers smashed the hawks blimey it's a world gone mad!

Crows, Pies, Bombers and Eagles look like certainties.....

Then you have us, Cats, Saints, Hawks, Blues, Dockers, Tigers fighting for the other 4 spots

Dogs, Dees, Giants, Power, Lions, Suns are gone and not sure if I would have the Roos in the contention for 5-8 or gone at the moment.

Yeah it looks that way, it didn't a couple of weeks ago, in a couple more weeks, might look completely different, if teh Crows lose momentum after tonights loss, and lose 3 in a row? The Bombers haven't had a bad loss yet, or a surprise loss, but they can't stay up for 24 weeks, it all changes quick
