The 2005 AFL season has now started.
Trading starts next week, and then the draft follows. Always an interesting period, to see who you club culls and who they pick up. Some have already started, and there are plenty of rumours.
2005 Premiership odds: $3.65 Port; $4 Brisbane; $5 St Kilda; $10 Geelong; $13 West Coast; $17 Sydney; $21 Essendon, Melbourne, Collingwood; $35 Fremantle, Adelaide; $51 Carlton; $61 Richmond, Kangaroos; $71 Hawthorn; $101 Western Bulldogs
I don't think the Hawks will win it next year, as it is rebuilding time. In fact I would have thought the Bulldogs would have better odds.
Brisbane may have one more crack at it, Port may have a couple more as well. Of those odds above, I like $10 on the Cats.
