Pundits like Malthouse saying they cannot see West Coast and richmond missing out on top 4. Right. Remember last year no one could see Adelaide missing out, 2017 no one could see Bulldogs missing out.
I dont think anyone thought West Coast would get in the 8, and Adelaide would fall out.
When Hawthorn got into the top4 , everyone said Clarko is a genius. Only for them to go out in straight sets.
It very unlikely the top 4 will be the same in 2019 and very unlikely the top 8 will be the same.

Seems like the top 8 and the bottom 4 are fairly well decided on in here. Leaves 6 teams floating around in the middle somewhere.Hopefully we arenāt one of them.
2019 - Weāre going to be attacked by aliens so there will be no more footballā¦or anything else for that matter.
I have just as much chance as being right as a lot of predictions on this post.
You can now let me have itā¦but just one at a time please.
Thatās not the 1st time youāve said that, ā¦ is it? 
Itās a repeat of the 2000 grand final with a similar score line. Norm smith however is a wild card won by Natalie Portman. I am saying Black Swan Natalie not Star Wars Natalie though.
Because itās a given.
A lot of Blitz experts, who know plenty about football, not willing to put their necks out so far. I want to hear from @ivan @Paul_Peos @Henry_s_Angry_Pills @Allblack @Humble_Minion @DJR amongst many othersā¦
It would be a shock if Raz played every game and we finished 13th.

Good pick up, but I missed probably 50 people whose opinion I greatly respect
and also, @Diggers
Iāll be doing a second run through my flr spread sheet this week and once I have Iāll post it here.
At this early stage I have a top 4 coming from crows, Eagles, pies, tigers and dees. I think weāre probably in the next bracket of teams with gws and the cats. Sydney and Hawks to miss finals, port, norf and lions behind them. Then the also rans.

Youād look a bit sheepish if that turned out totally wrong. I mean - I think your top 8 are the same as everyoneās baa one person - Fairyfloss (who can just rack off anyway) - and heās got a woolley head at the best of times, not to mention being in a good paddock for a while. Anyway - you donāt want to get lamb-basted so take your thyme, and get that ladder up mint before you dish it up. And speak up! Iām tired of you mutton under your breath. In no sheep or form should this be half-assed like these udder sheeple. Iād go out on a lamb and say eweād sheer be the field expert here. And say gāday to ya missus for me. Though Iāve never met herbivore.
sigh
Yes yes very good
Essendon: Will finish 7th or 8th and go out in the first or second week of the finals. Too many losses of games we could and should win, offset by excellent unexpected wins; i.e., much the same as last year but slightly better.
Premiers: Richmond. I think theyāll want to make up for not winning it last year.
Crichton: Who knows? I wouldnāt be surprised if McGrath gets it.
Leading goalscorer: Daniher if he actually gets on the park, otherwise McKernan
Most improved: Parish (I hope)
Coleman: Josh Kennedy
7th or 8th. Hope Iām wrong though.
