[The Adelaide Connection]

Ladder:
1. Geelong
2. Hawthorn
3. Western Bulldogs
4. Collingwood
5. Port Adelaide
6. Carlton
7. North Melbourne
8. St. Kilda

9. Richmond
10. Freo
11. Adelaide
12. Essendon
13. Brisbane
14. Sydney
15. West Coast
16. Melbourne

I think the five I have highlighted will be fighting it out for the last two spots and it will come down to the wire.

Coleman:
Fevola with Roughead in second.

Rising Star:
Rich

Brownlow:
Ablett/Judd tie with Griffen polling best for the Bulldogs in front of Cross and Cooney

Premier:
I think once again there will be a bit of a gap between the top three and the rest and in theory one of the three should win it. But as Homer Simpson points out "In theory communism works....in theory".

Plenty of people think we'll come third and win the premiership. I'd have though if you were that confident you'd have us top 2

Coleman: Jarryd Roughead

Brownlow: Simon Black/Adam Goodes

Rising Star: Alex Rance

Premiers: Footscray Football Club

Looking at this week's ladder (http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/sport/afl/ladder/), despite severely under-rating Essendon (and St Kilda), I'm quite proud of my pre-season ladder predictions, especially with Carlton, Collingwood and Richmond out of the 8, and Hawthorn not being top 2 that everyone else was predicting... (I know, I know, the season is a marathon, not a sprint, but still...)

Rich will probably win the Rising Star instead of Rance, but every other prediction is still possible, especially the Premiers column!
