[meher baba]

I have much more faith in Sydney and the Bulldogs and much less faith in Collingwood, the Eagles and the Kangaroos finishing the in the top 8 than most of you guys.

My top 8 (in rough order) would be

Geelong
Port
Hawthorn
St Kilda
Freo
Brisbane
Bulldogs
Sydney

I reckon our 5 best will be Riewoldt, Kosi, King (has really impressed me so far), Chips and Dal

Most improved will be Armo or R Clarke (I still have faith in the boy)

I would like to trade for: Glass or Foley

I would only trade Nick Riewoldt to the Gold Coast for two first round draft picks at the end of the 2011 season after we have won 4 premierships on the trot

My first words on grand final day will be: you beauty, now we'd better hop back to Tullamarine and hop on the Lear jet back to Bermuda (NB: MB has assumed Powerball win during 2008 season)
