Title: Ladder Predictor
Post by: Moi on February 16, 2007, 10:16:36 PM: I like lookiing at what other sides' supporters think where we'll finish, so here's Bigfooty's predictions. Obviously, a lot of morons pick us 9th because they assume we belong there, but there's some others who don't pick their nose and use crayons to post who do rate us a chance.

http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/showthread.php?t=272871

Here's mine:

Freo - overdue

W/C - good side

Bulldogs - best Melbourne team chance

Saints - Now or never

Adelaide - coming back to a power unfortunately

Richmond - Wishful thinking perhaps, but if the kids who held the team together last year can get some help from the seniors, ie return of Brown and Newmo, they should make finals.

Sydney - good ordinary team with lots of belief in themselves - no-one thought they'd win a couple of years ago except them

Melbourne - bye bye Neale
----------------------------------
Geelong - bye bye Bomber

Hawks - after pillagiing the draft stocks for last couple years will start their rise, but not make finals this year

Port - thereabouts

Collingwood - just don't rate them

Essendon - bye bye Sheeds

Brisbane - rebuilding

Carlton - rebuilding

North - bye bye Laidley

Post by: mightytiges on February 16, 2007, 11:53:15 PM: 1. West Coast - best list by far

2. Freo - same as you Moi with the WA double.

3. Doggies - will improve again. Only ? is how their blokes coming back from knees will go.

4. Melbourne - they'll probably choke again come finals time but I think their list is pretty strong.

5. Swans - still a quality side and well coached

6. Saints - new coach but same old sainters tredding water.

7. Richmond - our time has come :pray and 13 wins is realistic.

8. Essendon - gone for the quick fix which may pay off if Lloyd stays fit but they'll be just one year wonders with Hird, Michael, Johnsons, Fletcher all near the end.

9. Adelaide - hentschel iffy, biglands iffy, still reliant on their older champions who'll be another year older. Eventually something has got to give and statistically normally one top 4 side crashes.

10. Hawks - will improve and may be in the top 8 for part of the year but then just miss out

11. Geelong - bye bye Bomber. Just don't seem to have any major changes to their list which will make them improve under a coach who seems lost for new ideas. Still wishful thinking that Steven King will have an injury free year and star like when he was younger.

12. Port - thereabouts. Depends alot on Tredrea's fitness. Up and down throughout the year.

13. Brisbane - in transition and rebuilding.

14. Carlton - a threepeat of spoons would be great but I think they'll win more than 3 games this year as their kids a quality.

15. Collingwood - won't happen but they are simply crap. If they are still relying on Bucks to win games for them then they are in worse trouble. Geez that pic of him in the herald-sun was off today :chuck. His face looked like a 80 year old freddy krueger.

16. Roos - bye bye Laidley. Instability off-field is destructive as we know and their list is ordinary due to short-term recruiting to try and keep competitive. On top of it Laidley comes from the Spud school of AFL coaching.

Title: Re: Ladder Predictor
Post by: WilliamPowell on March 15, 2007, 10:26:52 PM: 1. West Coast - young list = good list = super skills
2. Adelaide - last chance with this group I reckon. Question mark on Riccuito
3. Sydney - don't like the way they play at times -but above all else they play as a team
4. Dogs - barring injuries they should finish top 4
5. Melbourne - if the stars are aligned ;D
6. Freo - only becasue they get 11 homes games - real ones. But wouldn't be at all suprised if they fail
7. Richmond - been saying it since November - can't change now
8. St Kilda - I tossed a coin and I couldn't care less ;D
........................
9. Geelong - good-bye Bomber, will be their normal fizzer selves :thumbsup
10. Port Adelaide - smokey
11. Brisbane - If one J Brown stays on the Park anything is possible
12. Essendon - don't want them to make it because of the way Lloyd is carrying on about how Hird must be
sent out the right way :chuck who cares
13. Collingwood - they deserve it :rollin
14. Carlton - will win at least 6 games which will be a good result. Murphy will be a star
15. Hawthorn - sometimes you've gotta go backwards to go forwards :P
16. Kangaroos - crisis time at Arden st in more ways than 1.

If Cousins is out most of the year the Weagles won't finish top although they still should finish top 4 given their list.

Fremantle    72
Adelaide 68
W Bulldogs    60

Port Adel    40
Carlton    28
Bris Lions     20
Essendon    20
Collingwood     8
Kangaroos 4

Bit harsh on the Kangas maybe!! :lol

Tight finish to the top 8 as well!

Post by: cub on March 21, 2007, 11:26:28 PM: Ladder predictor also

Sydney   22 19 3 0 2290 2110 76 108.5
West Coast 22 18 4 0 2326 2074 72 112.1
W Bulldogs 22 18 4 0 2290 2110 72 108.5
St Kilda   22 17 5 0 2284 2116 68 107.9
Fremantle   22 16 6 0 2296 2104 64 109.1
Adelaide   22 14 8 0 2254 2146 56 105.0
Richmond   22 14 8 0 2248 2152 56 104.4
Melbourne 22 12 10 0 2230 2170 48 102.7
==============================
Geelong   22 10 12 0 2182 2218 40 98.3
Port Adel   22 8 14 0 2176 2224 32 97.8
Hawthorn   22 8 14 0 2146 2254 32 95.2
Bris Lions   22 7 15 0 2164 2236 28 96.7
Essendon   22 5 17 0 2086 2314 20 90.1
Collingwood 22 4 18 0 2080 2320 16 89.6
Carlton   22 4 18 0 2074 2326 16 89.1
Kangaroos 22 2 20 0 2074 2326 8 89.1

All just straight off the bat.

Notes to self

Sydney - Hmm only 3 losses ? Everitt will be a big bonus for them and should see them there with a chance again.
Bulldogs - Sorta surprised, reckon(maybe) a few sides might figure them out this year and may not go as well as I presume.
Freo - Surprised not in top 4 but we all know freo now don't we :lol
Richmond - Obviously I am biased but maybe you can discount a couple of those and put in some other " upsets " should still get around 12 wins which would see them in. :pray

Geelong Port and maybe Dawks sides in the battle for the 8 - just depends.

Carlton could win a few more, who really cares.

Hopefully the kangas can find some of that shinboner spirit, Anthony Edwards could be a surprise with Thommo out.

That would leave the Skunks with the spoon - quite realistic actually. :clapping

:gotigers

Post by: mightytiges on March 23, 2007, 09:48:32 PM: Losing Bradshaw for the year with a ACL is a big blow for Brissy. They'll now need to rely even more on Jonathan Brown and he's no guarantee of being injury free.
