West Coast

After winning the premiership just as year ago, the Eagles are sure to be up there again next season. Nic Naitanui is back and Tim Kelly could be on his way so their time in the sun is far from over, but there are some wrinkles which need to be ironed out.

The biggest issue for Adam Simpson is Josh Kennedy, the former two-time Coleman Medallist kicked just 49 goals this season, his worst return in an injury-free year since 2010, and at 32, it may never improve. With captain Shannon Hurn also in the twilight of his career and the future of Willie Rioli in question big decisions will have to be made in 2020.

West Coast still have Gaff, Darling and Shuey at the peak of their powers so their premiership hunt is far from over, but it could be winding down.

Verdict:ย Open
