Going to be a huge finals series.
Sydney is drifting out slowly in the better (after today's belting at Kardinia Park), and Cats are tightening further.
Tom Hawkins is leading the Coleman. Pavlich & J Reiwolt haven't played yet though.
Markets have opened for Norm Smith.
Year I thought Crows came from 5th. Just checked, they came from 4th in 97, and 5th in 98.
This year, Hawks are strong, but a horrible betting return at about $2.25.
I think Hawks, Pies, or Cats are in the best form. I think Crows, Eagles & Swans will struggle to pull it off at The MCG. Just lacking a little bit of big stage experience, but often that doesn't matter too much if you are up and flying playing really well.
Roos & Freeo have their backs against the wall in Week 1...
In reality, all of the Top 8 teams are in decent form.
