Which AFL team will be the surprise for 2008?

Question

Meaning which unfancied team will be the closet to the top of the ladder at the end of the home and away season?

Answer 1

L.A, did u see them against arizona.

Answer 2

My guess is Carlton. They would have do better than 15th & 16th place don't you think? I am not saying its the Chris Judd factor, but the player's would want to play to win this season, not like last season.

New coach,new approach.....things are looking bright at Carlton.

Answer 3

I hope it's Richmond!!!

EDIT: dynastym...NIPPLE CRIPPLE!!!!

Answer 4

I'm hoping the Crows will be.

Everybody usually writes them off at the beginning of the season, lets just see if our coach can change some of his ways, maybe we will surprise some other teams :)))

Answer 5

Brisbane

Answer 6

Melbourne has gone under the radar

they can surprise you

Answer 7

GO FREMANTLE DOCKERS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 8

The Dockers will continue to disappoint.

You guys better hope you can hang on to Pavlich.

Headland's daughter is cute but!

Answer 9

I think that the top 3 suprise teams for 2008 will be St. Kilda, Kangaroos and Essendon.

The Saints have a lot of players in their peak that need to step up. Gram and Reiwoldt are the keys to the success of this team. If they perform well, the whole team usually follows suit.

The Kangaroos are  looking in fine form and need to step up and block out all of the media scrutiny from the whole Gold Coast saga. A player with potential to watch this year will be Aaron Edwards.

The Bombers have got a good selection of young players that will benefit the club now and in the years to come. Matthew Knights has not yet proven himself as a worthy successor to Sheeds but time will tell. I agree with another poster in saying that a fit Lloyd could possibly determine this team's possible finals chances. Players to watch are: McPhee, Ryder, Houli and Lucas

Answer 10

For me I believe the Bluebaggers will be the biggest surprise, To X-MAN, mate Melbourne suck this year and I support them, that makes me a bigger sucker.

Answer 11

Fremantle could be a surprise

Answer 12

KANGAROOS

they finished top4 last year and still no one rates them. soon everyone will wake up to how good they are

Answer 13

I think Essendon will do well but i think saints will be in top 8

Answer 14

Surprises to most will be how bad Melbourne, Richmond and Essendon will be. Only wins could be against each other.

Good surprises, North Melbourne, St. Kilda.

Can Geelong hang on or will the premiership hangover do them in?

Answer 15

the lions

Answer 16

North i think will be up there. They finished top 4 last year and most "experts" don't even have them in the 8. Maybe essendon will surprise a few ppl with a fit matthew lloyd, some young guys stepping up and lucas having another solid year.

Answer 17

Essendon
