With the completion of all the National, Rookie and Pre-Season Drafts, we can accurately assess how each side should go next year.
Each team has been placed into my Pre-Season Tier of where they sit in the hierarchy of the competition.
The Favourite
Geelong
"I've got Geelong as the favourite right now.
"15 points up in the Grand Final at half-time, you add the best key forward in the comp (Jeremy Cameron), you add an A-grade midfielder in Shaun Higgins, plus a very good experienced wingman in Isaac Smith.
"You're going to get eight home games that you didn't have in 2020. Geelong, for me, are the favourites."
Contenders
Richmond
Brisbane
Port Adelaide
West Coast
"All a very realistic shot of winning the premiership."
Finals shot
Western Bulldogs
St Kilda
Melbourne
GWS Giants
Carlton
"All have a realisitic finals shot."
Competitive
Sydney
Collingwood
"I can't get a read on Collingwood and how they are going to be impacted. I think they'll be competitive, but maybe won't play finals."
Bad but not terrible
Gold Coast
Hawthorn
"Gold Coast will improve but not enough.
"Hawthorn can win any game they start but they just don't have enough players to be highly competitive."
Rebuilding on the run
Fremantle
Essendon
"I like the Bombers. I think they can rebuild on the run and jump up quickly."
