Premiers: Peel

Sandover: Brady Grey (WCE)
Goalkicking: Loersch EF (55)
Headline: Curley sacked

If Curely manages to finish that high up he will probably hang on, but that I doubt very much, I agree though this will be his last year which may end early.

I posted something like this elsewhere but I'll do it again for this thread, with a couple of changes

Subi - Very likely undefeated again
Clare - Likely to lose only against Subi
WP - Haven't lost much and always competitive
PT - Heavily dependant on Dockers as always but have a decent core of non-Dockers
SF - Lost a lot of good players but should have enough class to be in the mix
P - 6-8 wins, same as last year
EF - Some good top end talent but a long list of players who really aren't up to it
SD - As per EF
EP - As per EF and SD
WC - Like PT, depends very much on Eagles availability, but apart from Grey, top up players are sub standard

Premiers: Subi over Claremont
Sandover: Kyle Horsley
Goalkicking: Mason Shaw (39)

Subi - will lose a game or two but still the benchmark of success
Cl - quality midfield but need Lee and Richo to fire
Peel - need Freo to stay healthy
then daylight TBH

Injuries will dictate the next 2 finals spots and easily interchangeable

EF - definitely need a better run with injuries
SD - need their experienced boys to stay healthy
WP - definitely need Keitel and Strijk to repeat 2018 heights
Perth- lack of quality height may hurt them

then who knows with the rest

EP - may need this year to find their feet, great have the royals back tho
SF - just lost too much quality with no recruiting to replace them
WCE(youngsters/ammo/country) will start ok but peter off as injuries hit the senior team

Premiers - EF....LOL
Sandover - Horsley
Goal kicking - Loersch 60+
Headline - 42 returns to Oz Footy - and before time too!

Subi - still a wealth of talent there, not quite as dominant as last year

I concur with Cesspit. Subiaco won't be unbeaten but still dominant. Peel will be their major challengers unless Fremantle are crippled with injuries. West Perth still have their core of players, don't write off South. Sharks will be the big improvers but not enough to crack finals. West Coast are a big unknown and Swans will probably win the same number of games that they did last year. East Perth will take a while to adapt to their post alignment state but will still be dangerous.

Can anyone please confirm that West Coast are definitely playing for premiership points and not just a series of scratch matches all season. It's just that I noticed on the WAFL website it lists a ladder of the teams in alphabetical order, all on zero points obviously, but West Coast are not listed.
