Yep a tad to early especially with recruiting not finalised at most clubs but will give it a go.

Claremont-the only thing that will cost them top spot is complacency..won the flag..monkey off the back..expectations may not be as high..loss of hunger etc.....plus a rookie coach.Wont drop out of the four but a lower finish in it wouldnt surprise.
Still have a quality list with some big outs.

Swans-reckon last season was just one of those seasons and may have been because of reasons listed with Claremont above,i to reckon the coach may have played a part and 2012 will certaiinly confirm this one way or the other.Still have a very good squad and if firing on all cylinders i expect a top 2 finish.

Perth-have recruited well enough to win at least 4 or 5 games more than 2011 the only question marks i see right now is an experienced key defender(lack of) and a forward line also lacking an experienced key forward.

West Perth-only because they are always thereabouts,have a fairly good squad

East Freo-have a squad capable of winning 10 or so games for the year and will be putting pressure on the 3rd and 4th placed teams.

South Freo-Ditto as above with East Freo.Also depends how Haselby goes first year up and if there is any truth in the rumblings at the Port,players not happy etc etc...as most quote on here "where theres smoke theres fire".

East Perth-probably 7 or 8 wins for the year,cant see them at this stage worrying the top 4.

Subi-have lost a lot and recruiting between now and the next month or so will depend where they finish.

Peel-They lose some,gain some but always look the same.Best they can hope for is..nuisance value at Rushton with the odd shock win away from home.Certainly are a jeckyl and hyde team(at home as compared to playing away from home).
