2015 Ladder Predictions

[Munga]

Log jam from 5th to 12th. Doesn't really matter, the premier will come from the top 4.

 

[kaiserchief13]

So did Fremantle last weekend does that make Fremantle a bottom 8 team?

They are in bottom 8 form at the moment.

 

[doggies ftw]

You guys have been so impressive this year, easily the most improved side. Losing to Melbourne and Saints might cost you top 4 though.

You drop games you should win every now and then, it happens. And the Melbourne game was fine, we never turned up and they completely outplayed us from start to finish, but the saints game is the one that hurts, to be up by 60 points in the 3rd and then lose was just shithouse, and now that win could have been very important. But ah well, stoked with the year so far

Kudos to those who didn't buy in to the Port hype. There isnt many.

Kudos to those who didn't buy in to the Port hype. There isnt many.

thank you

 

[Wild Bill]

Has nothing to do with it. I'm simply pointing out that it was very amateurish the way they handled it. Most would say Greenwood is a far better player to have on a list than Higgins and Waite

Higgins has been a great pick up - add class when NDS and Wells have missed most of the year. No way in the world would I swap Greenwood for Higgins.

[ManOfClay]

Great thread, would read again

 

[Wild Bill]

Bloody hell! Even as a one eyed supporter, I know we don't have the cattle or talent on the park to be in the 8 by September

lol - how about top 2 in September!!!

Amazing after the injuries you had to your key backs.

 

[Forward Press]

Re-opened upon request.

A reminder that although of course making fun of earlier predictions is part and parcel of the nature of this type of thread, trolling and abuse is definitely not on.

Play on.

 

[rippersnipper]

Doggies and eagles supporters should be absolutely proud of how far their teams have come. Kudos to them, great effort.

 

[LeverPuller]

Bump. Thanks to Forward Press for unlocking.

The general consensus of BF:

Underperformed:
Port
Gold Coast
Brisbane

Exceeded expectations:
Western Bulldogs
West Coast

 

[ROYAL EAGLE]

West Coast is just like Adelaide...just with a shitter list.

Funny how things work out ?

I think it would be safe to include Freo in the latter category, most people had us dropping out of the 4 for North/Port/Rich.

 

[kranky al]

North and Hawthorn - Swap ASAP or automatic troll
Adelaide, West Coast - lol

Lol indeeddy plops

Touché.
Honestly you guys have impressed me tremendously this year. Lots of big bodies that play well together.
I stand corrected & good luck for the rest of the season.

 

[kaiserchief13]

Lol.. Essendon has Myers, Hocking, Zaharakis and Winderlic back this month. McKernan is available now too.

Essendon is playing to a similar level that Richmond did a month ago.

North and Essendon will turn it all around come second half of the year.
Someone else was saying North had a nothing midfield!! With a top notch ruckman and some real quality ball winning mids of you add the class of Dal Santo and the run of Wells you have a fantastic midfield.

 

[kaiserchief13]

The betting is really interesting for the top 8 - with the betting agency having:

4 locks - Hawks, Swans, Port and Freo - all $1.10 or shorter
3 very good chances - Roos, Ess and Crows - $1.30 - $1.60

And then 6 teams fighting for 8th place with WCE leading the pack!!
WCE $2.25
Pies $2.30
Tigers - $2.80
Cats - $3.00
GWS - $3.12
Dogs - $4.00

All 6 IMO can play finals with a good run. Can the Dogs and GWS keep up their good early form?? Can the Cats and Tigers lift and make a run at finals?? Can WCE and Pies continue to surprise - both written off pre-season.

Also can any of Roos, Ess and Crows slip enough to open up a 2nd spot for the chasing 6?

This is look like a great year that final spots will go down to the wire.

Multi Dogs, WC and Richmond top 8. With those odds rough guess of $25 return. Not bad.

The main board's resident Eagles troll Always Ballin literally was the only person who had us as high as 2nd in the preseason
