Its that time! 2014 NPL and NEW FM Predictions

[Zeus]

Predictions for top 5 NPL & Top 4 NEWFM, and Relegation.

NPL:
Top 5
1. Olympic (kept all of squad bar Harps, added James Moaney(Sydney), Simon Mooney(Lakes), Cody Lucas (returning from USA), Blake Green (jets yoof) Too much quality and more importantly depth!
2. Magic (GF winners 3 years in a row, lost Brady Parker but signed Matt Paul and Murray Fletcher. Will be right in the hunt)
3. Jaffas (Dropped them one place depth will test them and had a big turnover, lost Abe Wheelhouse, Connor Evans, Matt Kenny, Terry Dries, Ben Herron, Matt Wilks. Gained Alex Palozzi, Peter Macpherson, Dino Faj, Denis Faj, Luke Remington, Kevin Davison)
4. Charlestown (were just off the pace last year, strong finish Lost Adam Boulter and Cameron Hughes to Edgeworth but gained Ben Herron, Troy Hearfield not sure of anyone else)
5. Edgeworth (good season last year but lost 2 German players, Joel Wood, Alex Palozzi, Josh Sparke, Mark Wilson, David Dodd, Damien Zane. Gained Cameron Hughes, Adam Boulter and Luke Walker. Some strong gains, a lot of losses will be keen to see how they recover.


Relegated:
Lakes

NEWFM
1. Maitland (built a powerhouse for Newfm. A strong team that have added some quality NBN players. Would be an upset if they didn't win)
2. Pheonix (will put up a challenge but don't possess the quality of Maitland, Ben Martin, Roger Dowdell, Josh Costello, Corey Fletcher and company)
3. Belswans (The Shearer Brothers, Shane Paul and a good striker they can cause some upsets and maybe decide promotion)
4. Toronto (toss a coin, no real reason here, cant see anyone else getting close to the top 3.

Last: Singleton (cant see them attracting any platers to make anything different unfortunately)
