2011 Ladder Predictions - Part 2

[gimp!]

Just wont happen. If you expect St Kilda, Geelong and the Bulldogs to fall that much, you are delusional. Each of them has way too much talent to even fall out of the 8.

Gold Coast and Brisbane will both be bottom 4. Not in the 8. Let alone the top 4 where you have GC.

I would like to hear your reasoning for dropping each of the cats, saints and bulldogs out of the 8?

Because he is a young kid man, give him a break, I was like that when I was a young fella too, thought the Bulldogs would finish top 4 every year.

Ahhh youthful exuberance and naivety, how I yearn for thee once more

im not a child, in my late 20's. i genuinely think this is how things will pan out.

On your profile page it says you are 20..

If you genuinely think this is how things will pan out, would you care to answer my question as to why you think Geelong, St Kilda and the Bulldogs will fall so much?

Ignorance is bliss.....

I doubt we will ever finish bottom while we play 11 games at home.

The worst ones are those who have Hawthorn anywhere near the top 4.

 

[Bardo State]

The worst ones are those who have Hawthorn anywhere near the top 4.

Thing is, it's not only the hawks supporters who are putting us there.

To everyone having a go at Essendon fans + others predicting them to finish 5th/6th:

See Fremantle 2009/2010 - most had us bottom 4/wooden spoon FFS

Different teams I know, but people still thought we were wooden spoon material

 

[HyperAgressiveDonk]

The worst ones are those who have Hawthorn anywhere near the top 4.

Hawthorn aren't as good as people are making out. The bookies have them 3rd favourite for the flag and a lot of people are convinced their window is opening up again. I don't think we are quite there in 2011, but in 2012 we should challenge again. 5th to 10th would be right for us this year.

However, despite Hawthorn being overrated, it is much more realistic to say will finish top 4 as opposed to saying Essendon can finish 5th or 6th. Essendon are on the right track, but it will probably be a long time until you finish a season as high as 5th, as there is a lot of rebuilding to do at that club.

lol check mate

I doubt we will ever finish bottom while we play 11 games at home.

You lost to Richmond by 50 points at home last year.

 

[im_a_lazy_sod]

Haha and I'm sure us and the eagles thought the same thing with 11 home games

 

[SupportMe]

Haha and I'm sure us and the eagles thought the same thing with 11 home games

The only way I can see us finishing bottom is if Brogan gets a long term injury early in the season.

*knocks wood*

 

[}>-DEMON-<{]

about 90% of peeps have the dees finishing 9th. Probably about right.

 

[weagles_fan]

about 90% of peeps have the dees finishing 9th. Probably about right.

About 8 spots too high

 

[Valli]

You lost to Richmond by 50 points at home last year.

correct, we also beat Adelaide twice at home last year.

What I mean is that, it's hard for us to finish bottom because of the home advantage we have for half the year. West Coast players just couldn't kick.

 

[Slattery_20]

Essendon made the 8 circa 18 months ago and Hawthorn finished 10th at the same time. Anything can happen. I just won't be doing my ladder prediction based on a HUN report.

No bet. I have no idea how Essendon will go. If our players are fit and if they run both ways there is no reason they can't finish 6th despite what the BF hordes say.

Are Collingwood the most gifted team in the competition? Champion team beats a team of champions.

I see your point; but you don't go from being one of the slackest teams to one of the most well-drilled over one off-season and 6 or 8 list changes.

 

[I am a tiger too]

You lost to Richmond by 50 points at home last year.

To see the ports fans faces after that...... oh wait i did

yep you're right, every single non-WCE poster in this thread has it all messed up with Melb and WC in switched positions. How did that happen!?

you might get lucky and GC will keep you from backing up that spoon

it must give you the s--ts to read about Melbourne, Richmond and North's brilliant young sides when you have only the fijian fizzer and Chris 'the Godson' Masten to look forward to

enjoy a s--t decade mate

 

[ADL!]

Not that this means anything, but:

1. Collingwood
2. Bulldogs
3. Saints
4. Geelong
5. Adelaide
6. Fremantle
7. Hawthorn
8. Carlton
9. Melbourne
10. Sydney
11. Port Adelaide
12. North Melbourne
13. Richmond
14. Essendon
15. West Coast
16. Brisbane
17. Gold Coast

Cheers!
