Considering how Carlton played in the JLT it's possible he's genuinely better than someone that did play.

The asterixed clubs are ones that I feel have an exceedingly high degree of uncertainty coming into 2017. Bombers for obvious reasons, Hawthorn for turning over the bulk of their midfield, Freo for getting lurch and arguably the best player in the competition back. I might have overrated Geelong and West Coast and underrated Melbourne as well.

I keep seeing Adelaide predicted as top 2. I'd love these predictions to be right, but they did nothing in trade and they've copped some injuries so I'm just not sure I see it.

I think they also had a really good injury run last year? The age podcast mentioned they only used 27 players for the season I think

Essendon might get out to a fast start and win 4 of its first 10 to get people talking about finals, but then I think they struggle to win more than 1 game in the back half of the season due to not being able to run out games. Mixture of youth and a lack of match fitness from the returning senior players.

So as well as going into the season one player short on the main list, and one short on the rookie list, we have Cam Ellis-Yolmen out for the season and on the LTI, and according to some yob who claims to have seen the X rays, because who cares about medical confidentiality, we've lost a new draftee for the season to stress fractures in the foot as well.

The season hasn't started yet and we're already eligible to upgrade 3 rookies to the main list.

Anyway, new season, same Titus https://titusoreily.com/afl/highly-unhelpful-guide-round-one

The Bombers haven't played competitive footy together in a year (you could make the argument it's been at least 2). They need time to gel and it's gonna cost em games.

Actually this argument holds some sway with me.

They'll struggle at the start of the season due to not working as a team, getting it together just in time to struggle at the end of the season by tiring out due to a lack of match fitness.
