Claremont : i'll go with my mob having a good year again, i think andrew ruck, jarryd morton, possibly josh hill, maybe medhurst - (demons den how do you find out this info long before me??) will be handy inclusions and the big number of strong reserves players should keep us near the top. Have no idea what webb will be like as a coach - but one thing is for sure if we start to slide i will be blaming the victorian bloke from subi

Perth: big call but i'm jumping on the bandwagon. Spanderman in the ruck with young, bevan and davis at his feet should make a huge difference. If they're up and winning the sort of crowd support that only 30 years of frustration can deliver will be worth an extra player for them. Will be fantastic for the wafl if this fairytale can happen (the fairytale will have to start in round two though and be shattered in the grand final)

Swans: won't have the injury crisis they had last season and will be hungry. Twomey is a very good "recruit" and Harding had nothing go right in terms of luck in his first year.

East Fremantle: will benefit from losing the hopeless eagles players they had.

South: still got an overall strong squad, but still lacking a good ruckman (i think)

West Perth: rely too heavily on their senior players

$ubiaco : Having afl like resources paid for by the other wafl clubs won't help them this year, or will it..

East Perth: hard to see where the improvement will come from but could surprise, are always a bit unpredictable the royals

Peel : just because their peel
