Experimenting with Squiggle's ladder predictor with us having the bye this week and nothing to do.

Hawthorn in a prelim??

 

[Cleansweep17]

My gut feel is that the minor premiers won’t win it this year. The minor premiers won it the last 3 seasons.

So Carlton are looking the goods to me.

 

[hawkman]

We had a younger match day team then hawks when we cleaned them up twice last year.

According to this we were younger both times

Will be interesting to see how we go in 4 weeks time. Given it is Tassie, I would be disappointed if we lost but we need to come back after the bye well

 

[hawkman]

Hawthorn in a prelim??

Only a prelim? Should be Grand Final at least

 

[JackHiscoxWasFast]

Took a look today and was somewhat stunned that we are in fifth after losing 5 of 6. What an odd season.

More like snakes and ladders than an afl ladder. Top 4 starting to firm up ever so slightly tho.

 

[Worm4]

My gut feel is that the minor premiers won’t win it this year. The minor premiers won it the last 3 seasons.

So Carlton are looking the goods to me.

I'm kind of hoping we step it up a notch from now as they haven't been too convincing to my eye ( not dominating sides even though chalking up wins)

Port isn’t coming anywhere near the 8 let alone top 4

 

[Miluxx]

Port isn’t coming anywhere near the 8 let alone top 4

You will be back in the top 4 after this weekend.

 

[PAFC66]

You will be back in the top 4 after this weekend.

No chance , you’ll flog us

 

[mpal6]

No chance , you’ll flog us

May be you haven't seen us play this season.
We're very much a Jekyll and Hyde side this year - you always have a chance and we tend to keep that door open.

 

[Miluxx]

No chance , you’ll flog us

I genuinely hope you are right. But I don't think you are. We will get spanked.

 

[Macca180]

Really?

Looking at the draw it's interesting to think Freo win only 2 of their remaining 9 games There's 5 very winnable games in Perth for a start.

 

[Miluxx]

Really?

My reverse psychology was very effective.

 

[Joao]

They've got Geelong winning 17 games, not sure I'd lose any sleep over that one.

 

[JackFlash]

Okay we head into the final stretch now, the Swans gave sorted everyone out and will win this flag easily.
It's just a matter of which poor saps will be the loser on Grand Final day.

Sydney
Carlton
Essendon
Collingwood

Forget the rest, it's not that even at all.

the AFL would absolutely froth over a Essendon V Carlton final, sadly i dont see it happening.

IF we make top 4 it will be 4th which means death row SCG belting by Sydney.

It could be the most uneven top 4 of all time, they're all 4 or 5 goals behind Sydney.

at the SCG definitely.

History shows all you need to do is get Sydney to the MCG and anything can happen.

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

That's a huge blow to Freo if confirmed

 

[crows dude]

 

[The Lobbster]

That's a huge blow to Freo if confirmed

Seems likely at this point although I’m not sure it’s as cruel a blow as I have seen people make it. With Cox to come back against the tigers the backline will probably consist of Ryan, Cox, Chapman, Clark, Aish, Walker and Davies/Draper.

Pearce being out definitely reduces an already slim chance of beating Sydney and getting any further than a semi final. But I think the listed backline should be enough to get the Dockers into finals (assuming Cox still has some form). After that, who knows

Its a huge deal. Cox is probably 5-6 weeks away from 100% match fitness.

And half the one on one defender that Pearce is

 

[Joao]

And half the one on one defender that Pearce is

Not half, but not as good.

It's more having to play an inexperienced defender. They get exposed too often.
