OK, here's the ladder at the end of the 2016 H&A season. Who are your climbers, sliders and mystery bags in 2017?

18 Essendon 22 3 19 0 1 1437 2356 60.99 12
My climbers:
Young punk developing list teams Saints and Demons - one or both to make the finals. And Gold Coast Suns to do a lot a better than many think.
My sliders:
North (there're basically not a good team who don't belong in the 8)
Carlton (yes they will slip lower as the Suns, Freo and the Bombers go past them)
Cats to be more bottom top 8 than top 4.
My mystery bags:
The Bombers - got a lot to prove, including how they'll go with half a side who haven't played for a year.
Port - IMO they are simply better than the way they played this year (or are they?)
Hawks - pretty radical list changes, and is it finally time for their remaining old players to start breaking down?
What do you think?
