What They Want Under The Christmas Tree
Adelaide - A new coach, or at least a new coaching philosophy.
Somewhere there is probably betting for the first coach to be fired, and the Adelaide one might be the favourite.
Brisbane - An effective number two forward option.
A better Clark or a surprising Henderson, those are a couple of players to consider although the thing that Brisbane fans want to see again is Brown and Bradshaw and it seems that Bradshaw is on schedule for season 2008.
Carlton - A centre half forward.
The candidates at the moment are Hartlett, Hampson, Cloke, Ackland and Austin, so maybe their 2008 first rounder will be what fixes that problem. They can always move Waite or S O'hAilpin forward, but then they will be looking for a tall defender.
Collingwood - A great leader to emerge from the pack.
They do need to find a new captain but it is a difficult choice to make.
Essendon - Success with a new coach who used to play at Richmond.
A long time ago there may have been a few Essendon supporters who were unsure of their new coach at the time, Kevin Sheedy, but that seemed to work out well for them. Now they enter the days of Knights.
Fremantle - A return to their form of 2006.
It wasn't that far back when they were only a few goals away from a Grand Final.
Geelong - The 2007 Grand Final DVD.
They had all their Christmases at once in September.
Hawthorn - A VFL premiership.
They already asked for the AFL premiership, actually two of them, and a VFL one is also a chance as they have a lot of talent on their list.
Kangaroos - Sponsors and Members.
Their numbers are reportedly increasing.
Melbourne - Port Adelaide's success
Hawthorn brings in someone from Port Adelaide to coach them and things improved, Melbourne want that to happen too, and to happen quickly.
Port Adelaide - Another family draft pick in 2008.
The Cornes, Motlops, Westhoffs, Burgoynes, they are probably already scouting relatives of other players, except for another Deluca.
Richmond - Less media, and more winning, from the coach.
It is about time they started to win a few games.
St Kilda - A game from a Gardiner.
A fun game for Saints fans might be to choose who plays more games, Charlie or Michael.
Sydney - One more big year from their older players.
Kirk is still performing but Hall, Barry and O'Loughlin are starting to slow down.
West Coast - No more off-field related news.
Their coach might be knowledgeable in the area of pharmaceuticals but he would probably prefer to be asked football questions.
Western Bulldogs - Bulk.
They should be telling their players to eat as much as they want at Christmas.
A Christmas song, or maybe a midseason holiday by supporters of the Demons.
