Opinion Who wins the Premiership? (Updated poll - Updated for Prelims))

[FlowersByIrene]

Has to be the Eagles..

Well done on throwing your money away, even if the Coasters do win.

Biden has 0 shot of winning the Presidency.

 

[MrWoollie]

Seriously though... where is the Carlton option

You actually have a case here for Carlton and Melbourne to replace Hawthorn and GCS as choices...

And then you blow your credibility with...

Biden has 0 shot of winning the Presidency.

 

[Fadge]

Seriously though... where is the Carlton option

Where it is every year, not in the conversation.

 

[Tackle Bag]

Surprised to see the confidence some have in Richmond at the moment.
I think we are a fair way off our best.
Dysfunctional up forward, backline A little less solid than in previous years.

we need a few players to come back and find form right away. Prestia, Edwards and Astbury important for mine

Its certainly not beyond us but I think others are definitely better placed right now. Geelong and WC in particular.

 

[Astro_]

Richmond probably do have the most upside, however they still need to find it. Easier said than done.

I’m gonna agree not this year

 

[Fadge]

I’m gonna agree not this year

Let me guess...

2 to 3 years away, like you have been every year for the past 20 years?!?

Not sure tbh i am bullish but next week against your mob will be telling. We wait and see hopefully we are on the right track

Next week will tell diddly squat.

Pies are travelling on two cylinders at the moment, playing by far the worst footy we have in a long, long time.

This is true so technically we should beat we if we have any chance of playing finals. It’s telling for us.

 

[pablo668]

Hard to say, I don't think any team is firing on all cylinders atm.
My head says Richmond, even though they are doing their standard build up over the year/season and it is misfiring more than usual.
WCE look awesome when on, but we'll have to see whether they can do that in a hub over East or wherever.
The teams up top right now aren't looking overly convincing.

 

[theyellowsash]

i still think brisbane. im betting they will be the only team to have home ground advantages during the finals, and for all their goalkicking woes they are second on percentage only. it amazes me how the second placed team who will have the only home ground advantage during finals can go so far under the radar.

 

[StevenwellerHFC]

West Coast by 120 points in Perth.

I'm not a religious guy but pray for me!

 

[Pie eyed]

No matter who wins it will be an "asterisk"
No matter how much certain media arsehats (Wayne Carey) deny the fact and talk up the season.
For the winners it's a flag and I'll happily accept it if it's a pies flag, but for everyone else there are so many intangibles, and if's and buts as to make the year a write off.

I hate to turn this thread political but Biden has a ridiculous lead in Florida. Without getting into detail, Trump/GOP cant win the election if they lose Florida.

Losing Florida in 2016, he still would have won 277 to 261 - so not sure you can make that assertion. And then you have the issue of pre-election polling being an absolute shambles in recent times.

Would think Joe would be well ahead in all of the blue states and a lot of the red ones except the hardcore Pub states such as Texas

 

[Tiger71]

Agree with this.

I would also say they have the least margin for error and the most "danger games" left in their fixture.

Like last year, they will need to run the table if they want to finish top 4.

If they can do that, they will be in the box seat and go in to finals as flag favourites.

If they lose to either West Coast or Geelong, those two clubs will be far and away favourites for the flag and Richmond will have to do it from outside top 4.

This year's I actually want to finish outside the top 4. It will allow an extra game for Edwards Prestia and astbury to gain form

no he doesn't

 

[mightymouse75]

Seriously mate glass houses. Most of what you can say can equally be applied to Freo with drugs (Yarran, Bennell, Hogan, Johnson, Polak etc), CEO feeding the fans wrong info (Neale isn't going anywhere) etc

We get it you hate the Eagles, but constantly getting on your high horse about the above stuff make you look like a massive hypocrite when Freo has plenty of skeletons in their closet also.

Give it a rest. If you want to keep calling the Eagles slime take it to the Freo board with the rest of the sycophants.

Sycophant is what the West Australian media is & why a lot of eagles suporters get very touchy when the eastern states media occasionally have a crack at your team..You are not used to it.
Chris mainwaring was banned from the club 6 months before dying of a drug overdose for asking the wrong questions in an interview with woosha. For some reason he was devastated..

Trevor Nisbet is a worm & West coast are collingwood on the other side of Australia with less scrutiny ..

 

[10571z]

Brisbane is no chance. To in accurate and results really aren’t that great.

West Coast in the box seat but I believe Richmond’s system and belief will take care of them when it counts

Cool story

Does that make Fremantle the St Kilda of WA?
Lots of off field controversy but little on field success to back it up

To be more accurate fremantle would be St Kilda MINUS a flag.

 

[Roobs321]

Brisbane will find unassailable form at the right time and Harris Andrews will be their premiership captain on the day.

Failing that, a West Coast-Richmond GF to cap the 2017-20 period, or Geelong overcoming their crunch game hurdle, are narratives I'd be fine with. But with a few rounds left I wouldn't count out some of the midtable contender perennials just yet, especially after 2019.
