2024 Ladder Predictions

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

Now that everyone has finished the byes, here's my revised ladder for the rest of the season.
Gives us Blues vs Pies in week 1 of finals, but for the loser, they will likely have to go and face Swans in Sydney in the prelim, providing they win the semi the following week.

to be honest this looks pretty good, though i reckon Collingwood would have Carltons number on the G. Calton then beat Geelong and have to win one in Sydney.

Could see a Collingwood v Swans Final

though if it was Carlton v Cwood Grand Final than Melbourne would ****in blow up. AFL would love it to death.

Sydney v Carlton GF. Looks that way.

Carlton would need the spineless 2016 Grand Final umpires getting sucked into another fairytale again to be a chance.

Not counting out Collingwood either. GWS can get humming also.

nah, swans have big mental demons on the MCG in GF.

Carlton or Collingwood would take it to them. Any type of momentum and the crowd would be insane

If hawks can only win 3 games for the rest of the year then it will be a disappointing end to the season considering we play WC, Nth, Richmond. If we win those 3 then it would mean we lost 6/6 against the other teams - Geel, Freo (in Tas), Col, Ade, GWS, Carl.

Those 6 would be tough, but id expect they could win at least 2-3 of them. We've beaten 2 of those teams already this year (GWS + Ade)

You very well could pinch one of those games, but I do my predictions based on who I think will win the game, not which team I think is the underdog but might pinch it.
There's a lot of 50/50 games for all teams and there will be games where underdogs get up.

Ironically, I actually tipped you to lose to WC in Perth and beat Freo in Tas.
You could easily topple the Cats given their recent form and if the Crows game was in Vic, I'd probably give you the chocolates.
Your game against them at the G was pretty even after quarter time.

Well isn't this interesting.

Great win, heave ho!

 

[Purple7x08_24]

I think Freo were supposed to fall apart after round 7-8.

 

[DragoDelph]

I think Freo were supposed to fall apart after round 7-8.

I thought we were due to fall apart after round 0.

 

[imagifED]

1) GWS
2) Sydney
3) Port Adelaide
4) Collingwood
5) Carlton
6) Geelong
7) Essendon
8) Brisbane
9) Adelaide
10) Gold Coast
11) Melbourne
12) St Kilda
13) Fremantle
14) Western Bulldogs
15) Hawthorn
16) Richmond
17) North Melbourne
18) West Coast

So so hard where I had Melbourne 2nd then slid them to 11th. Imagine the top 14 have making finals as a realistic pass mark so 6 teams will have a failed season.

Still looking alright.

 

[Dewyyyyy]

Still looking alright.

Hawks 15th LUL Adelaide 9th LUL

 

[Schauermann]

I feel like GWS could be premiers or 10th depending on their mood in the last 2 months

Sydney still favourites after today. But I can still see a lot of teams make as real push with good form over the next two month...

 

[Big Animal]

well we did have the youngest team of the round out there today. wouldn't have been shocking to get pummelled.

Home final for Geelong easiest route to a flag

Carlton only winning 3 more games for the year with Richmond, North, WCE, Hawthorn and StK to come?

Right?

I’m far from your biggest fan, but still have you second.

 

[Purple7x08_24]

For all this talk on the Bombers and top 4 they're going to be lucky to win 2 games.

Looking at their draw, I think 2 wins is likely, 3 possible, 4 only if they do good. Can't see them getting 5.

They may not make finals


Carlton will win 8/9 but at worst 7/9

I'm expecting

1. Sydney
2. Carlton
3. Brisbane

 

[Handsuper47]

Sydney, Carlton and Fremantle look like they might lock up the top three spots if they keep playing the way they are though that fourth spot is anyone's guess.

 

[Cuzz09]

Maybe GC could scrape in for once

Their draw "looks" quite good

but they are GC

Last time there was an away QF for Freo, it worked well for them.

 

[The Feeder Club]

Not quite. Our last away QF was 2014, at the SCG, which we lost and then went out in straight sets the next week at home.

I think Freo were supposed to fall apart after round 7-8.

Ah yes, I know that feeling. We felt that after the Port Adelaide game. Who could even beat us !
Then came the Demons game and we were on a choke hold, gasping for thin air.
