West Coast (10-1, 1st)
What's gone right: They've only dropped one game halfway through the season and the only game they lost was in Round 1 against the Swans. West Coast are playing more as a unit than any other team in the competition. There's no one superstar, it's the overused cliche of everybody playing their role and sticking to the game plan. Adam Simpson has done a terrific job coaching this team for the first half of the season and arguably sits as the best coach in the competition this season.
What's gone wrong: Not much has gone wrong for the Eagles. Other than an injury to Jack Darling and a first round loss, everything for the Eagles has gone better than expected. The forward line is gelling, their defense is impenetrable and they sit firmly atop the league ladder.
Best and fairest: Arguably the hardest team to predict their best and fairest, there are so many players who have put in consistently good efforts each week. Right now, the nod goes to Andrew Gaff. Among the league's elite midfielders, Gaff is very important to the Eagles' success.
Season prediction: They should easily finish top four, barring any major injury, and falling out of the top two would be disappointing. 19-3 record on this season.
