Yes.
Oh - this is a debate, is it?
Well - you see - EFC is known for using the Crighton as an ‘encouragement award’ more than anything else. This way, it’s spread across more than one person.

I saw this website posted on BigFooty:

They’ve got the ladder looking like this:

Melbourne Demons (up 4 places)
Richmond Tigers (down 1 place)
Collingwood Magpies (no change)
West Coast Eagles (down 2 places)
Adelaide Crows (up 7 places)
Essendon Bombers (up 5 places)
Greater Western Sydney Giants (no change)
Geelong Cats (no change)
Hawthorn Hawks (down 5 places)
North Melbourne Kangaroos (down 1 place)
Western Bulldogs (up 2 places)
Sydney Swans (down 6 places)
Brisbane Lions (up 2 places)
Fremantle Dockers (no change)
Port Adelaide (down 5 places)
Carlton Blues (up 2 places)
St Kilda Saints (down 1 place)
Gold Coast Suns (down 1 place)

They’ve also got detailed club by club analysis which was interesting to read. I think we’ll be between 6th - 10th. The preseason has me uncertain now. Bring on Sunday week …
