As the dust settled on the 2016 AFL season, all could agree that it was one for ages.

And the 2017 season is certainly shaping up to be a fitting sequel. Can GWS Giants, the competitions newest team, snag their maiden premiership?

Or could a formidable Crows win their first flag since 1998? Will a resurgent Cats find themselves hoisting the trophy? Or, like last seasons Western Bulldogs, will another challenger emerge to snatch glory on Grand Final day?
