Sydney - the unforseen captaincy issue & change of gameplan were major issues. I still reckon they'll be up there at season's end, maybe not at no.1, but up there.
Port - the hangover, and the loss of Carr, Schofield & Hardwick were greater than expected.
Catters - yes, up there.
Sainters - yes, they'll be there too.
Dees - yes, up there too.
Brisbane - the crash came harder than most of us thought. I thought they'd decline, but not by that much. Still, half a season to go.
Weagles - yes, improved further than I thought. Still half a season to go, and not that impressive the last fortnight.
Bluebaggers - hopelessly over-rated by me.
Dockers - yes, just as I thought.
North - yes, just as I thought. Just lacking for 1 or 2 extra stars.
Dons - the youngens didn't come up, so the worst scenario occured.
Doggies - yes, about right.
Maggots - yes, about right.
Tiges - still half a season to go. At season's end I might be right after all.
Hawks - yes, about right.
Crows - failed to appreciate their home ground advantage.
9 out of 16 yes, another 4 not that far off, and 3 were way out.
