Many are talking up our chances of being in the finals next year.
To do that we would have to be better than the 8 existing teams in the eight this year.
So who could be out in '09?? At this stage, I suppose Adelaide and Sydney would be possibilities, especially Sydney. The other 6 look like they would be there again next year. Should Adelaide make it, then there is only one spot up for grabs....Sydney.
Then one asks, who would be most likely to take their place. Throw into the mix, us, Brisbane and Carlton as the most likely. So, I repeat, for us to make it will be a hard slog and it will not be easy. Carlton in particular are looking ominous and Brisbane can never be left out of calculations.
Look forward to a hard year of thrills and spills
