General forecast re teams' fortunes in 2014
Hawthorn - gotta be thereabouts again
Geelong - Can see slipping to bottomhaldf of 8
Fremantle - top 4 again
Sydney - Premiers (of course)
Richmond - top 8 at best
Collingwood - rebuilding year but may sneak 7-8th
Port Adelaide - overachieved in 2013 but will be 7th -10th
Carlton - Top 8 but could be an improver
Essendon - bottom half of table
North Melbourne - could be big improver and even push for top 4
Adelaide Crows - same bracket as Port
Brisbane Lions - will fight it out with St Kilda for the Spoon
West Coast - expect them in the bottom half of 8
Gold Coast - a smokey for the 8 but think they will just fall short but look out in 2015
Western Bulldogs - to continue their improvement (Crameri a good in) but will just fall short of the 8
St Kilda - will fight out the spoon with Brisbane
Melbourne - to win 5-7 games and be just above the two basket cases
GWS - 14th at best bracketed with Melbourne but generally more competitive
