Yes Mo, I've based it on them being slow starters and missing a few regular players from this year. As I said, I'll probably review it a bit more before I settle on the ratings for R1 though.

However, I'm quite willing to predict a slight decline for Brisbane next year. I still think they'll be a top team, but I reckon St Kilda and Geelong both have a chance to pass them.

Personally, I like Port's chances of repeating and I think we both may have gone off a year early with St Kilda. I reckon it's looking good for a Port/St Kilda GF. If not possibly Port/Geelong.
