Former AFL greats Nick Riewoldt, Tim Watson and Garry Lyon have revealed their full ladder predictions for 2019 on SEN.
The trio all predicted that Gold Coast will claim this season's wooden spoon, with the Bulldogs, Saints and Blues mutually ruling out their bottom four.
At the other end of the table, Richmond and Melbourne are the only two teams to feature in the all three's top four.
Additionally, Riewoldt, Watson and Lyon all agree that Sydney's 10-year finals reign will come to an end, while Adelaide are the biggest bolters.
Riewoldt and Watson believe the Crows will come from out of the eight all the way into the top four, while Lyon has them fifth.
