Kane Cornes believes there are now only six teams that can win the premiership following Round 5 of the season.
The former Port Adelaide midfielder admits he was "brutal" with the teams he left off.
Despite their win over Melbourne, Cornes has omitted Richmond from the list after they lost Dion Prestia, Trent Cotchin and Toby Nankervis to seemingly serious injuries late in the game.
Geelong and St Kilda haven’t made the list despite currently sitting in the top four, while West Coast is in despite currently sitting in the bottom four.
See Cornes’ six teams from SEN’s Whateley below in no particular order:
Western Bulldogs
“I think the Bulldogs can win it. I think they have enough talent and personnel to be able to win it, so they’re in.”
Collingwood
“They can still win the flag. They can turn it around. I’m not going to fall off them after a couple of poor weeks.”
Port Adelaide
“I’ve never had a huge amount of faith in Port Adelaide. I think a finals win would be a significant achievement for them. I’ve got them in the mix, but a lot of things would have to go right for Port Adelaide.”
Brisbane
“Brisbane can definitely win it. They’re my second seed at the moment.”
West Coast
“West Coast can win it. They needed to turn their season around and I thought they did that on the weekend.”
GWS Giants
“My number one if I was doing seedings would be GWS. I think if every team is playing at their best, I’d take the Giants. I don’t think they’ve done that yet, but if it all clicks, I’ve got them at the top of the pecking order.”
