I probably put Essendon on top marginally. Richmond still seem a bit inconsistent and I worry about their depth.
WC certainly right up there and considering where they finished last year it is a quantum leap forward. They have some nice young talls and with Kerr fit, they might do alright.
All three teams have certainly rebuilt well. The job isnt done but they have enough key ingredients to build a team around in the next few years.
Kangaroos dont have enough young kids coming through.
Melbourne inconsistent but show glimpses. Perhaps their kids will deliver but are a bit behind Richmond.
Brisbane absolutely shot. Yes they have Rich and a few others coming through, but to lose Sherman, Rischetelli and Brennan all for nothing. Black set to retire. They will bottom for awhile before they rise. Especially with the draft concessions for Suns and GWS.
