[Mr north man]

Port will play Brisbane in the GF, the rest is irrelevant.

Lions will choke .
Richmond to make an example of Port Adelaide on Grand Final day.

[kendrick]

Richmond can't win games unless it's at the MCG... So need to wait for the fixture to come out to ensure we get as much AFL love as possible.

 

[JUSTWORK]

Too early to be doing this really, probably need to wait until at least the end of trade/FA.

That said, in no particular order;

Top 4
Port Richmond Geelong Bris

Rounding out the 8
WCE Coll StKilda WB

Smokey for the 8;
Carlton.

Hard to go past North for the spoon, maybe Adelaide again ?

 

[B4Bear]

So when North don’t win the spoon, what will be your excuses?

 

[DontArgue4]

So when North don’t win the spoon, what will be your excuses?

Not sure anyone will care enough to make any excuses

 

[TP86]

1. Geelong - great H&A team topping up for another go around
2. West Coast - if we have to hub I reserve the right to drop them
3. Richmond - not going anywhere should remain hungry
4. Brisbane - another proven H&A team, finals is their deficiency
5. Port Adelaide - I don’t trust the team as a whole or the coach, but it’s impossible to argue against their young core improving
6. St Kilda - steady pick
7. Sydney - mild surprise pick but they’ve done a stealth refresh if not a total rebuild
8. Melbourne - basing this on their player for player talent alone rather than coaching or collective spirit

9. Western Bulldogs - Beveridge grace period to be tested further with more inconsistency
10. Carlton - middle of the road inconsistent team
11. Fremantle - can’t imagine their forward line is potent enough to deliver finals
12. Collingwood - too many spotfires off field and gaps on field.
13. GWS - Leon sacked mid year
14. Essendon - too many mature veterans or players in their prime years to be a total write-off
15. Gold Coast - Dew is not the answer as coach. Lack of scrutiny and absence of a fan base to call for his head will be an issue
16. Hawthorn - starting a rebuild arc
17. Adelaide - continuing a rebuild arc
18. North Melbourne - directionless

 

[Millsie69]

Wonder if Port will have another post-Prelim let down like after 2014?

 

[PhatBoy]

I guess if people keep prophesying it eventually it may actually happen.

The 100 darts mentality

 

[MCG-Unit]

Wishlist counts, innit?

Saints
Geelong
Gold Coast
Brisbane Lions
Swans
GWS Giants

Rounding out the 8
WCE Coll StKilda WB

Genuinely curious how many times the exact same Top 4 has happened two years in a row. I expect it's never happened, and I doubt the exact same Top 8 has ever happened either.

So when North don’t win the spoon, what will be your excuses?

Some other team played shitter than North. My guess is that will be Hawthorn.

 

[gingernuts]

Geelong to miss the 8. gets predicted every fooking year

 

[big boy jackavoy]

2 second places, jeez

What is it stiff or am I overating then

 

[GoldenMagpie16]

What is it stiff or am I overating then

No, you stuffed up on your ladder prediction by allowing 2 second places instead of 3 than 4th

The same top 4 happened in 2009/10. Prior to finals it was:

2009: Saints, Cats, Doggies, Pies
2010: Pies, Cats, Saints, Doggies

All 4 made the prelims.

Same top 8 two years in a row has never happened.

Same top 8 two years in a row has never happened.

2013/2014 pre finals as well had the same top 4 (Sydney/Hawthorn/Geelong/Freo), admittedly Freo and Geelong went out in straight sets in 2014

 

[steelebottom22]

Preparing for many ladders putting North last, not taking into account all the injuries we had this season

Mate half the team has fd off I don't think north will win more than 2 games but hopefully Essendon finish last for the LOLs and pass on there future first rounder for Dunkley this year
