1. Makybe Diva | | Chris Judd
Almost impossible to catch when on the burst from a pack. Grown men aren't afraid to express their love for her when commentating and even if she loses they'll probably still give her a medal. | |
2. Vinnie Roe
| | Robert Harvey
Never seems to stop running or slow down. Rumour has it he walks home after the event. Getting older but you suspect there's something special left in him. Deserves a cup before he retires. | |
3. Distinction
| | Kangaroos
Struggles to find any support for some reason. Has had to do it tough recently but look out if he hits his stride on the day. | |
4. Greys Inn
| | Richmond
Wearing the black and yellow. Will fly early but go missing at the end. Should be doing better and even biggest supporters are starting to run out of excuses. | |
5. Franklins Gardens | | Melbourne
Will be up their early but will struggle with lack of fitness and ability at the finish. | |
6. Eye Popper | | Ben Cousins
If you give him any room he'll thrash you but will shut down when tightly checked. Won't like the soft Melbourne track. | |
7. Railings | | St Kilda
Got everything going for it - talent, form, draw. Couldn't ask for a better run, just might tire in the legs at the line. | |
8. Xcellent | | West Coast Eagles
Big wraps early that didn't quite match ability. Had some easy runs early but is looking average with step up in class and pressure. | |
9. Kindjhal | | Michael Gardiner
Will go missing at crunch time. You'd be better off with a broomstick and a couple of coconuts. | |
10. Hugs Dancer | | Shane Parker
Always has a crack and performs well against more fancied opponents. Is moving on in years but some say he's getting better with age. | |
11. Demerger | | Josh Carr
Did his best work to date in South Australia but has been a bit off the boil lately. Plenty of talent and knows what it takes to be there at the end. | |
12. Dizelle | | Dion Woods
Looked good early but has fallen out of favour quickly. | |
13. Lachlan River | | Fremantle
Things starting to click late in the campaign. Might pull off an upset but will definitely be one to keep an eye on over the journey. | |
14. Portland Singa | | Scott West
Bit of a forgotten one with plenty of talent and proven record. Might be a while before she sees a cup though.
| |
15. Vouvray | | Brendon Fevola
Hasn't even come close to living up to potential. Will need to do something or will wind up in the kitchen at McDonalds. | |
16. On A Jeune | | Gary Ablett Jr
The talk of Geelong but might not be quite classy enough yet. Dad wasn't bad either. | |
17. Umbula | | Lance Whitnall
Dropped a lot of weight but expect to see it barely moving down back by the end of the day. | |
18. Bazelle | | Carlton
Even if it cheated it couldn't win. | |
19. Envoy | | Quinten Lynch
He'll try and run but don't expect him to get very far. | |
20. Rizon | | Western Bulldogs
Hasn't won anything in a long time and that doesn't look like changing any time soon. | |
21. Strasbourg | | Nick Davis
Done nothing for years but has suddenly come good and his timing couldn't be better. | |
22. Leica Falcon | | Sydney
Struggled early and has caught everyone by surprise. Looks to have a dream run ahead of him now. | |
23. Mr Celebrity | | Matthew Richardson
The wraps on him are only out numbered by the excuses. Could do something but probably won't. | |
24. Kamsky | | The Cloke Brothers
Strictly there for sentimental value. | |
