If I get time tonight I’ll do one with who I think has the better theme song.
I’ll have to have a listen to GWS AND GCS before I do it though.

Getting pumped. For me, this competition marks the start of the real season. Woohoo!!!
Another novelty one could be based purely off last season’s final ladder positions. Like the JLT you could get the reverse as well.

Not sure about the reverse in this case but the 2018 form guide will be interesting!
Entry Sent!
Throw a blanket over the finals contenders for mine and a pretty even spread for the cellar dwellers.

I had us losing to Richmond, WCE & Crows (both away) and once to Collingwood.
Surprised that I didn’t end up having Melbourne higher. I also would’ve predicted GWS making the 8 over Sydney.
Just like how the Essendon recruitment team operates on draft day, I spent half an hour and whipped it together moments before the deadline. The way it should be done.

Apart from the Essendon bias I reckon it will be close to reality come the end of the season.
