A number of posters have predicted that the Hawks will be 2013 AFL Premiers. It is worth noting, in Round 6 the Crows only lost by 11 points against the Hawks, not taking into account a dodgy call on Thompson and absence of the captain van Berlo. Adelaide are rebuilding slowly with the loss of Taylor (Tex) Walker and like any worthy team, need to peak at the right time. In addition, Buddy Franklin's contract decisions may also impact on his performance at such a crucial time in the finals season.
I might also put some money on Patrick Dangerfield for the Brownlow shortly.
