Now, Collingwood.
The Carringbush have continued to improve since their rebuild season of 2005.
Last year they were in the top 6 but failed to go all the way.
To me, somehow the Collingwood side seemed somehow out of balance with their mix of age groups to be a really top side.
Some players, eg Obree, seemed too "past it" to be there. Others, like young Brown, looked too young to be filling key positions.
Yet credit to them, they were still up there.
This is their list for 2010:
As you may see, the squad looks as if it is in transition. It doesn't looked balanced.
But what is clear is that there is a real strength in their list from the development phase down.
My guess is that if they can continue to evolve positively, the Carringbush is headed to ultimate glory in the next few seasons.
But, it is hard to see it this year.
But then again, they are right up there and they will improve.
Meh, who knows for sure.
