Cool story. Shame nobody in this thread has followed that formula.

Shame that of the 12 people to post ladders before your post, only 5 didn't swap Essendon and North (and 1 of those was you and the other was a north supporter). Its just an 'easy' change to make.

How many people so far have backed their club to seriously decline?

Every year I say geelong is bound to fade at some point I am one year closer to being correct

.... and along with that I have predicted Adelaide as the threat. How do you think I feel.

1. Hawthorn
2. Carlton
3. Collingwood
4. Adelaide
5. Geelong
6. Fremantle
7. North Melbourne
8. Richmond

Probably rubbish but that's it for now.
Best way to gauge as to how a team will travel through the season is to look at the opening injury list.
No injuries = Good chance to show something.

I find it amusing every year when supporters of bottom 8 sides predict their teams to make the 8 and the Swans to miss out.

Richmond and Melbourne it takes more than draft picks to make a good team.

Yeah maybe. Although when I was placing Sydney the round 21 sodomizing was fresh on my mind.

[strategy]

I will wait until the fixtures are revealed for 2012.

 

[Temploar]

1. Hawthorn (Same thing, going to be amazing in 2012)
2. Collingwood (Will come out hungry after yesterdays defeat but not sure about #1 spot especially with new coach)
3. West Coast (Stars rising and not far away from another flag)
4. Carlton (As much as i hate to say it they'll make the top 4 next year)
5. Geelong (A few retirements at the end of this year, will still be up there)
6. Fremantle (Provided they don't have another injury year from hell)
7. North Melbourne (Needs to get more out of it's young stars but if it does then top 8 a certainty)
8. Sydney (Will just make it)
9. Essendon (Needs more to get to the top 8. Will just miss out)
10. Adelaide (They have a decent list but for now it's just 10)
11. Richmond (Not next year. Not the year after. Not the year after that. But maybe then)
12. Melbourne (Provided Mark Neeld makes an impact)
13. Gold Coast (Will take all of 2011's experience and have a blast)
14. Brisbane (Voss is a dud)
15. St.Kilda (No, too many recycled and aging players, unless they do a complete rebuild)
16. Western Bulldogs (Their list is bland)
17. Port Adelaide (Just lol)
18. Greater Western Sydney (Will be even more lol, not as many stars in this draft)

Grand Final = Collingwood vs Hawthorn
NAB Cup = West Coast (Yes! Heaps of young stars)
Premiers = Hawthorn (They have what it takes to get over the line and Nathan Buckley is inexperienced)
Coleman Medal = Travis Cloke / Buddy Franklin (Not too sure at the moment, Cloke has the ability but buddy is a freak!)
Brownlow Medal = Chris Judd / Gary Ablett / Dane Swan (Pick one)

lol, your effort being a masterpiece of logical deduction, ...oh wait

Relax champ, just having a joke.

 

[willydave]

Haha.. both teams have given Sydney a belting at the 'G over the last two seasons.

Tips for Sydney:
* recycling average/above average players does not win premierships.
* winning games at the 'G greatly important.
* recruiting some players that can kick a footy would help.

It must get frustrating consistently being thereabouts but not having the talent to take it out. It took a miracle for the Swans to win it in '05 in probably the worst grand final in AFL history.

 

[10571z]

1 Collingwood - Similar to geelong 09 will wanna get revenge and will have that spark
2 Hawks - good list hopefully can control there injuries
3 Freo - ross lyon will make them boring but they have a good list
4 Geelong - Few players will be older but they will be very good still
5 Carlton - Will have a good year but still lacking a good forward (atm)
6 West Coast - Harder draw in 2012
7 North Melbourne - Will have a better year
8 Bulldogs - will improve with a new coach

You can't be serious?

You do realise which team you support?
