Ahead of the upcoming 2017 season, all 18 AFL captains have taken part in their usual pre-season survey about predictions for the upcoming campaign.
The captains believe St Kilda will make the jump this season, with 11 skippers predicting the Saints to finish inside the top eight, and six believe Melbourne could play finals footy as well this season.
Sydney was the only club that every captain had in their top eight, while 14 out of 17 captains predicted GWS to be the most likely club other than their own to play in the grand final.
The captains also selected which player is the most likely to win the Brownlow Medal, the Coleman Medal, and which young gun could be the 2017 AFL Rising Star award winner.
