Well I remember, and let me tell you, it was fantastic!

Ironically though, the best final of all time was the won where Port Adelaide won. Truly AFL at its best, even though I wish the Lions had won that one. Aker showed why he might just be the best AFL player who ever lived.

Fantastic!, but where do the tribal allegiances lie? Collingwood or Brisbane?

Definitely not Collingwood - I'm a Hawks fan first and foremost and then Brisbane - Have a soft spot for the shinboners as our place in Melbourne is just up the road from from Arden St

That song's not bad, but the best song is Richmond's.

Hi,

Early Nab form suggests.

Hawthorn look the goods. Richmond and North Melbourne are tenacious, but slightly lacking. GWS will win some games but may struggle with fitness. Doggies lack of a forward line power will hurt them. Magpies still have a lot of depth and will be contenders

Bottom half is pretty hard to pick and will depend a lot on who has a run of luck - I just can't see poor old adelaide making much headway this year and think the time and effort put into GWS and the Suns is underestimated by many. That said, I think the 2 beast teams from last year (Geelong and Hawthorn) will be very strong again. I think Collingowood's time is up but they will win more than they lose. West Coast will be very strong. St Kilda is gone - watters was as best an ordinary player in a great side with a great coach - would love to be proven wrong -
