So I've put them into an excell spreadsheet which calculates the difference between your prediction and the real table.

i.e. if you pick the tigers to finish 7th and we finish top you get 6 points. 9 points if we finish 16th. Add it up for all teams. Obviously lowest score wins.

If you took last years ladder then it would look like this

Chuck17 - 28pts
Jake - 28pts
tigersalive - 48 pts
MT - 50 pts
wayne - 58 pts

If you took the ladder from two seasons ago

wayne - 56 pts
tigersalive - 58 pts
Jake - 72 pts
MT - 76 pts
Chuck17 - 78 pts

There'll be bonus points subtracted for correctly predicting Grand final winners, coleman medallist, brownlow, Rising Star, Jack Dyer, NAB cup winners but there is no need to rush - just add them when you have time. At the midseason point there will be an opportunity to swap the positions of two of your teams.

Would be good to get a few more posters involved - its a fun comp where its all done by the time the season starts so no need to worry about getting punished for not getting tips in on time every week or anything.

Sounds like something worth reflecting on in a year, jake, just to see how crazy or realistic our thoughts were.     

Grand final winner: Geelong
Coleman medallist: Lance Franklin
Brownlow: Gary Ablett Jnr.
Rising Star: Daniel Rich
Jack Dyer: Brett Deledio

Grand final winner: Geelong
Coleman medallist: Lance Franklin
Brownlow: Chris Judd
Rising Star: Daniel Connors (if still eligible)
Jack Dyer: Nathan Foley
NAB Cup winner: Western Bulldogs

[mightytiges]

Rising Star: Daniel Connors (if still eligible)

Yep Connors is. He's only played 8 AFL games.

Here's the ones I missed:

Rising Star: Daniel Rich
NAB: Port     (we never seem interested and get knocked out in the first round anyway  )

[Chuck17]

NAB: Port     (we never seem interested and get knocked out in the first round anyway  )

Yeah we usually do but I wouldn't be surprised to see a more determined effort this year.

The reason why is that with the start of the draw in the first 6 rounds it might be a lean period, and Terry might want some early success albeit in the NAB cup to build up his chips before the start of the season proper and the worst part of the draw which IMO is the first six rounds.

Now that I said that we will probably get smacked soundly and look disinterested as we usually do

[mightytiges]

I hope so too Chuck. It's a different game with the trial rules in the preseason comp but getting knocked out in the first round and in such woeful fashion as we have been in recent years hardly builds confidence or attracts non-member supporters to sign up.

You got that right MT
