Who has the better list? Cats, Roos, Saints, bombers, Blues or Tigers?

[Penelope]

After last nights performance of the bumbers over in freo I'm second guessing my overall assessment of list quality of the bombers. 
I had freo to win at 40+.
Is it that I may have underestimated the bombers or are they purely just playing out of raw emotion and love for the coach? Or have I over estimated freo once again.?
I might have to reassess my original order of teams vying for a top eight spot.
I think I will after we play freo.


P. S. ...I'm surprised I've had so few many takers on the posted question as I was very keen to gauge the perception of all the learned OER faithful. 

In three weeks they have come from behind  to beat Adelaide in Adelaide and Freo In perth. Like them or not, thats a fair effort.

That said, it its another month or so until we start to get a better picture of where teams are at.

They're riding on emotion at present, it cant last the whole season.  They've gotta get tired eventually, make no mistake.

Where does the OER faithful think each team are at?
1. Cats - to much experience and seem to have the right mix of good players. 2 good forwards, 2/3 good backs (mixed opinions on Longergan) and a good midfield with a good ruckman in McIntosh if his available but also West to back up who can play good footy. Although quite old they have a few younger types who seem to be able to have an impact.
2. Essendon - good players insdie each arc with Fletcher + Carlisle and Hurley + Ryder with smalls who can be damaging. If some of their mids stand up alongside Watson and Stanton they could have a midfield that would be very hard to beat. Also rate Bellchambers reckon his still got room to get better.
3. Richmond - Elite midfield including ruckman (if he plays like last year). If Grimes can stay on we have 2 good backs in Rance and Grimes and possibly Chaplin (good so far). Just need to find that second tall foward which we seem to be producing in McGuane and Vickery. If one of them can prove to be efficient all year we over take Essendon.
4. Roos - Good midfield with some players who could take a step up and make it elite. Ruckman the same as Maric (except it was 2011 he was good wasn't it?). Have a very good full back and a reliable Firrito. Good forward in Petrie but seem to be in the same boat as us with a second tall with Tarrant and some other bloke whos name escapes me. Damaging small forward in Thomas. If their midfield gets better they could overtake us and Essendon.
5. Blues - Missing any tall forwards except for about 10 games a season they have 1 good one. Elite midfield and ruckman. Good full back in Jamison and a pretty good Henderson. Smalls seem to have struggled in tough games with no good forward to feed off.
6. Saints - 1 good forward and part time good forward with Kosi. Maister I reckon would struggle if playing against someone who wasn't a fourth tall (Batchelor). Good midfield with Hayes and Dal Santo and Motagna but then drops. Don't rate Steven. Great Ruckman who is going to pants a few Ruckman this year with Maric already being one. One good backman. To old with not enough youngs developing.
And which team is better poised to take the next step?
Richmond or Roos
Will the cats finally fall out of finals?
No

Excellent work YR. 

[Yeahright]

It was a lot harder than I thought it'd be haha

Have to have another think Freo got done by the bombers..just but the doggies pressed them also but we flogged the doggies.  The bombers have bashed up crap sides and scraped past Freo.  Who have Freo beat so far?  WC who aren't going too flash either, I mean they bashed up Melbourne, got done by Freo, and Geebung.  Maybe the things are not all as it seems.

yeah, still too early to draw a line through form.
