Scrag you've got Richmond making the 8 from outside the bookies top 8 favourites but in fact they are the bookies 5th favourite.
Pick another team.

Thank you mate. I'll take Gold Coast.

 

[dogwatch]

Thank you mate. I'll take Gold Coast.

Just noticed another one: you said Essendon would be one of the top 8 favs to miss out. They weren't (and still aren't) in the bookies top 8.

So who makes way for Fremantle and Gold Coast. You have Geelong. Who's the other?

Grassy old mate I'm taking your CSM and AA references to "Smith" as being of the Bailey variety ... not the unfashionable Roarke flavour.

 

[dogwatch]

I've tabulated all the predictions received so far.

View them here (just after the OP).

 

[ScragCity]

Is this locked now, DW? I made a couple of changes at ~2pm today. wasn't sure what the cut-off time was

 

[TBOW]

Which Cameron will win the Coleman? (Jeremy or Charlie)
Which Smith will be 3rd in the CSM? (Bailey or Roarke)

Correct for all. Thanks DW.

We will lock this at 7pm (Melb time) tonight.

Thanks Kermit. You're one step ahead of me!

Is this locked now, DW? I made a couple of changes at ~2pm today. wasn't sure what the cut-off time was

Still open for new entries and for edits. I'll check through for any changes later when it's locked.

Deadline is 7pm tonight.

The 2022 Time Capsule has been opened ...

What a poor lot of predictions we made in 2022! We were so bad that most of us would qualify to make predictions for the footy media.

Here were our predictions (cells shaded green indicate some measure of success in the prediction):


Nobody picked :

• Geelong for the flag
  Sydney for Runner-Up
• Curnow for the Coleman

And only one person picked Cripps for the Brownlow

We didn't fare much better with WB-related tips.

Nobody picked:

• WB to win 12 games
• WB to finish 8th
• WB to have zero AAs
• Weightman to win Most Courageous
• Darcy to play 4 games

And only one person picked:

• Dunkley for B&F
• Darcy for Best First Year Player
• Our biggest loss to be against Sydney

We did OK picking Naughton for leading goalkicker and Richards for Most Improved, but that was about it.

 

[weltschmerz]

Man, remember being optimistic?

 

[dogwatch]

Anyway, onto the Nostradamus Awards:

Best predictions in the AFL segment were Selim with 6.5 points from Cudi (5.0) and weltschmerz (4.5).

Best predictions in the WB segment were Libbaaaa with 10.0 points from Selim (again) with 9.25 and Jeff 1975 (9.00).

Put those together and our Nostradamus for 2022 was SELIM with 15.75 points.
Cudi came second (13.50) and Weltschmerz in third (13.25)


Here are the final tables / tales of woe:

 

[Fossie 32]

Jeff Fenech getting his championship was the first step to Granty getting his Brownlow wasn't it?

 

[Jeff 1975]

Man, remember being optimistic?

 

[grassman75]

Thank god I finished above Leon. He picked McComb as best first year player....he had enough chances
