Fremantle champion Paul Hasleby has named his top eight for season 2021.
Hasleby has tipped Port Adelaide to win the minor premiership and has backed them to go all the way after falling at the preliminary final hurdle last season.
“I think Port Adelaide will be the premiers this year,” he told Sportsday WA.
Geelong, Brisbane and Richmond make up Hasleby’s top four with West Coast and St Kilda finishing fifth and sixth respectively.
The former Rising Star winner and All-Australian has two clubs breaking into this year's top eight after finishing just outside in 2020.
“I’ve got a couple of surprises coming in,” Hasleby said.
Below is Paul Hasleby’s top eight for season 2021:
Port Adelaide
Geelong
Brisbane
Richmond
West Coast
St Kilda
Carlton
Fremantle
