As a Port fan I am quite optimistic about getting back into the top 8. The biggest weakness of last year was our forwards this has since been rectified with Luko, Richards and Berry all joining the forwards. In contrast while the loss of Huston hits the defence hard, Port still bet Freo and Hawthorn without him. I think Huston loss won't be as bad as we still have Farrell, Burgoyne, Evens and possibly DBJ back there to account for his absence. Meanwhile, even if Port start yielding more goals it should be counted by kicking more goals. Then again, I could be wrong and the new recruits could suck in attack and Hustons absence could cause our defence to colapse but I am optomistic that we will find a way back into the 8.
I mean I think I agree partly with the Hawks over achieving a little in 2024 but with the recruits they brought in and another year into the younger players. I think they will be huge rises next season.
Giants slide I reckon. Nett transactions negative. Saints top 8. Underrated both top age players and youth. Finished 8/4 last half last year with some serious running power and improving youth. Ross the boss never missed top 4 in 3rd year as coach. Always underestimated.
Hopefully my Giants can push towards finals, and even another Grand Final berth like ‘19 Edit: on Port, they’re very inconsistent so you never know if they’ll finish Top 4 or out of the 8 completely
Hawthorn did fall off against Port due to no Frost, no Day, no McKenzie, also Sicily wasn’t 100% with his shoulder, also Lewis would have helped. Also we got in Barrass and Battle and haven’t really lost anyone of note and another year of development and cohesion for a young group.
How did the hawks over achieve? They showed what they could do last year, yes we had a bad start to the year but that was tactical when we went back to our original game plan we were the 4the best team in the comp. Under estimate the Hawks to your peril
People underrating the Saints everywhere

Port finished the 2024 home and away in 2nd place. We def aren't dropping to 10th next year.

Yeah I agree with PA, who really knows where they’ll b next year. I don’t think most people have a clue
@ I don’t think they’ll be Bottom 4, but anywhere between Minor Premiers and 14th is pretty fair game

Overrating Battle a heap, one good year
@@Bull3tblitz Even so, he’s good depth
Coll, Giants, Sydney, Geel will miss. Dogs, Blues, Suns, Saints to replace.
up the cats

4th? Like 2nd
Demons will be in the 8 easy no way pies or cats finish top 2.. I also see bulldogs port and crowns struggling to make the 8
Hawthorn 9th with 14 wins??
😂😂😂😂
Hawks will improve next year no doubt at all. They should finish between 7th and 4th
Carlton 11th😂 Just delete your channel at this point
Lol collingwood
