Id say Hawthorn. They have too many quick players, Roos will struggle to keep up.

Not many people I'd say.\n\nI'm a supporter and am so happy to see the Group F table at present. I realise things have a possibility of changing on Monday, but...until then....\n\nGO YOU AUSSIES !!!!!!!!!!

yeah i think so. but the league title will be overshadowed by the fact that they couldn't pull a piece of silverware out of the FA Cup and CL......well done on the league though! Still, unless they can pull out this kind of performance in all competitions for over a decade like United has done, they will not be viewed as a powerhouse (long-term) in my book.

Well you could put up an argument for about half of them, but if we base it on this year's results you'd probably say it's between Eade, Malthouse, Craig, Worsfold & Roos.  \n\nSorry about the long answer, but here's each ones argument.\n\nEade - In only his second year in charge has taken the Doggies from last place into close to a contender.  Has a small list but his game-plan has put them in a great position.  Remember they lost arguably best player Luke Darcy and his backup ruckman Minson to injury.\n\nMalthouse - Collingwood have equalled last years wins total already and are competitive against the best teams around (won 5 of 22 in 2005, currently are 5 of 7). After having his team injury depleted last year he has answered his critics.  We know Collingwood still had the players from their back to back grand final appearances.\n\nCraig - Has done a fantastic job with the Crows.  In 2004 they were looking in decline and finished 12th with 8 wins, in 2005 finished the home and away season on top and lost in the preliminary final.  This year are even stronger having won 6 of 7.  Craig has been missing first choice ruckman Hudson all year, key defender Nathan Bock, Ricciuto has been underdone and Perrie is out for 3 months but they are still flying.  In the past they would've struggled, not under Craig.  the question is why wasn't he made coach earlier.\n\nWorsfold - Underrated coach who's team keeps winning.  Alot of people will say well he's got Judd, Cox, Cousins, Kerr etc. And while this is true, you need to get all these huys on the park and performing together at the top of their ability.  The Eagles had so much trouble off field in the preseason you may have thought they wouldn't have the focus but Worsfold has got them equal first backing uip from last years narrow Grand Final defeat.\n\nRoos - Don't write off the Swans this year.  Most people have, but after starting slowly the Swans are 4-3 and Roos has them in a competitive position.  All he wants to do is have them thereabouts, in the finals for a push towards another flag.  He knows the modern game plan as good as any and has his players execute it.\n\nThe winner so far - Neil Craig. 10/10 perfomance year to date.  It's hard to see them going backwards once they get their players fully fit.\n\np.s. I'm a Blues fan.

Tampa Bay did last season. This year we won't know until Monday night.

Unfortunately not this time round, but if we can acquire a few quality players that want to play for the club then we will be serious contenders this year.  Prediction that we will lose a few of the guys who are bit players and also Greeno to the top flight.  Need a few more that want to play - not ones who disrupt the club like Francis did before he was off.

Wouldn't that be a tad strange, it's AUSTRALIAN rules footy. Is nothing sacred anymore ????? LOL

It has definitely improved in recent years.The success of Cork and Shels in european comps has helped enormously.The standard of football was poor a few years back but since more clubs went semi-pro or better,the improvement has been evident.I am a Limerick fan and they are doing quite well this season.Hopefully they can stay at the top for the rest of the campaign and get promoted to the big time.

They will because they have no one else to do the job.Hoddle is not a bad manager but I dont hink he is the right manager for a club like Wolves who actually need an inspirational manager to transform them into a club capable of not only getting into the premiership but staying there.If you look at the championship it is full of mediocre managers who must be quite worried today as two of the clubs coming down (Birmingham and West Brom) have very good managers and in Birminghams case a good board and will be looking to go back up again straight away.This leaves clubs like Wolves as well as Cardiff,luton,Norwich,Ipswich,and any of the clubs who fail in the play offs looking at a hard slog next year.

i would be reversing the question especially seeing that sean long is out. australia lost last time to great britain and heads will roll if that happens again on our home soil.\n\na lot will depend on the style of the refereeing.

Doggies all the way!! Just look how good they were this year! And '07 is just going to get better due to all the injured players coming back. Luke Darcy, Robert Murphy, Mitch Hahn are all experienced great players and they should be coming back in the first few rounds. Then there's Shaun Higgins who is going to be a legend. He's already made an impact on the Doggies after playing only four games. I think he would have played all of the remaining games in '06 and possibly even finals if he didn't get injured in round 13. I think the Doggies really do have a chance in '07 and '08!!!

I think QPR will be OK next year,after a good clear out close season get some experience into help the young players settle in.I think we will finsh mid table with waddle in charge.The board have to get the management situation sorted out as quick as possible,find the money somewhere to pay Ollie off.I hear a rumour that he may end up at swindon with b power and m devlin.Went to reading on Sunday,that game just about summed up our luck at the moment,never a penalty should have at least got a draw.\nCome on you SUPERHOOPS

Hey there Clive,\n\nI agree with you. The Australian side has gone through many years of flatness but has also undergone a period of growth and development which now seens to be coming together. Their attitude of it's not over till it's over saw an incredible rise in determination in their game against Japan. They continued to play and perform as a team. Add to those you mentioned Brett Emerton and John Aloisi and there is definite potential there to put up an acceptable challenge to Brazil and Croatia, who are both great sides. A win against Brazil would be fantastic but if they can contain them from not scoring goals well that is positive also. I think the key will be for Guus to play them in positions they excel in. Changes or corrections can't be made against Brazil as late in the game as they were V's Japan. When players were played back in their accepted positions the team performed far better. They are no walk overs anymore. They have talent and loads of untapped potential.\n\nCan I just add losing to Brazil, if that is the outcome, is nothing to be ashamed of and I will be proud of them no matter what happens. They could just provide a couple of the biggest upsets of the tournament. Let's hope so anyway.
