Sorry to disappoint you, but it'll never happen. Richmond and Hawthorn will never play in a final against one another! (They've been in nine finals' series at the same time and never met in a final.)

Stupid ******* computer.

A good tradesman never blames his tools.

 

[footyfan1978]

Those who have left Collingwood out .... Fools.

 

[marty36]

If we arnt top 4 with an easier draw Wines carlile and polac back fit and Dixon up forward, Hinkley will be sacked. He'll be right.

When will it be announced?

 

[Infra Ted]

Richmond had a slow start this year because they were experimenting with a different style of ball movement. Once they settled on what worked for them, they improved dramatically, I think they'll comfortably be top 4 next year.
I see Sydney falling off, even out of the 8; they've been really ordinary this year and they haven't improved on 2014 at all. It's just a matter of time before others go past them.
GWS and Collingwood are capable of playing high-level footy as they demonstrated in the first half of the year, and with another pre-season of development I expect them to be in the 8 as well.

Lol lucky you didn't place that wager.

 

[blueinvasion]

Minor premiers to outside of the 8 in a year? Would take a Port Adelaide type effort

Lol

If any coach can achieve this, Ross Lyons can!

Good call

 

[Hobbes]

West Coast
North Melbourne
Geelong
Port Adelaide
Hawthorn
Sydney
Western Bulldogs
GWS

This is pretty good. Of the likely top 8, you managed 7/8 and ninth. This, on page 10, was the first list to get as many as 7 correct - 6/8 is unusual, most posters got 5 right.

Probably a fair call with Port Powers piss easy draw it would have had to be a complete failure for them to miss the eight!

 

[IronMike]

So many people had Port in the 8. What a let down.

[sonnywalters]

2017 - Dogs and GWS will be top 2.

 

[Bokonon]

Probably a fair call with Port Powers piss easy draw it would have had to be a complete failure for them to miss the eight!

Certainly not a disappointment to me though

 

[footyfan1978]

Done.
If Essendon finish above you, I get a BF premium membership. If Melbourne finish above Essendon, then you do.

Ironically the only team you beat was his and yet you owe him. Get that credit card out buddy.

 

[Jakksynn]

Imagine being a Port supporter

 

[footyfan1978]

Those picking Essendon last have forgotten one thing...that the drugs saga will actually be over by Christmas with a not guilty verdict likely...it's the elephant in the room no-one is prepared to discuss.
1 - West Coast
2 - Fremantle
3 - Hawthorn
4 - Richmond
7 - Essendon
8 - Sydney
-----------------------
9 - St. Kilda

ha ha ha

1 West Coast
2 Freemantle
3 Richmond
4 Collingwood
18 Carlton

Absolute Gold!!!!

 

[footyfan1978]

Collingwood top 4. Bookmark it

This guy is priceless!!!

Port will be up the top that is for sure. My top 4 lock.

Almost as good.

West Coast
North Melbourne
Geelong
Port Adelaide
Hawthorn
Sydney
Western Bulldogs
GWS

Order is up shite creek but 7 out of 8 is way better than most.

A buddy of mine is a professional gambler out of Jeanerette in Cajun country, Louisiana. They do numbers real good. Part of his year is working some of the riverboat queens on the Mississippi, between New Orleans and St Louis Missouri. He does OK and is legit - passengers love losing their money to him.

Anyway, according to his gambling algorithm, using relevant AFL data, his take for the final 8 in 2016 is:
Hawks
Kangaroos
Eagles
Dogs
Crows
Swans
Tigers
Power

I personally think he has undersold the Pies, who will be 3, but there you go....

Very decent effort by your mate. No sign of Freo is a sign his algorithm is not a complete waste of time.

Just plain funny.

 

[FootyJunkie]

GF will be Syd v Geel/North

 

[Lsta062]

Most of us will probably get it wrong anyways, even after trade period lol

Remember how Port got Ryder last year and many of us thought they'll finish 1st? There will probably be hindsight lol moments like that after this trade period too

Well, at least I was right about something.

This thread is evidence that the fights people undergo in ladder prediction threads is a waste of time. You just don't know what'll happen.
