TOP 8 Predictions for 2004

[TheHood]

How do you rank your Top 8?

Swans
Adelaide
Lions
Eagles
Port
Collingwood
St Kilda
Essendon

Of course I have more faith in Sydney than say the Melbourne media and I don't think there has been a season in my lifetime where the majority of punters would have tipped Sydney to come first. It won't happen until we can dominate the competition either.

It will be interesting to see where we are tipped by the majority pre-season.

I'm thinking

1. Lions - I didn't think theyd be a force next year with Lynch gone but he's still around so is there any reason they cant challenge for the flag again?

2.Port - still a force though I think quite scared of finals.

3.Sydney - You all know why

4.Fremantle - Great young talent

5. St Kilda - same as Freo

6.Collingwood - bloody pies wont get anywhere near the flag

7.Adelaide - some talent there though if umpires fix their sight problems wont beat us again

8. West Coast - have there faults

I have a feeling that Adeaide will fall out of the eight next year, too old and slow.
And it wouldn't surprise me if Port slip to about 7th.
