Result is fair given Maynard was bloked. Swings and roundabouts.

Just out of interest would you trade the 2023 flag for the 2018 one?

Nope. Not only because I'd rather the memory of our last flag to be the most recent, but also because winning 2018 alters the course of history and may have meant no Craig McRae. He's already got a flag to square the ledger with a hypothetical one in 2018, and I think he is a better chance to have additional success.

How is a real flag in any way equal to a hypothetical flag?

It's not, hence calling it a hypothetical flag. In response to a question about trading the 2023 flag for winning the 2018 GF (a hypothetical scenario). What I was responding to was quoted above my reply, you probably could have figured this out for yourself.

Sure.
But why would anyone trade a real flag for a hypothetical flag?
 
Half way through the year and who would've thought Essendon would be in the top 4, they're not much chop, but neither are the others. Sydney is well ahead of everyone else.
1. Sydney
2. Essendon
3. Carlton
4. Melbourne *
5. Collingwood
6. GWS
7. Adelaide *
8. Gold Coast

9. Fremantle
10.Western Bulldogs
11.Port Adelaide
12. Brisbane
13. Hawthorn
14. Geelong
15. St.Kilda
16. West Coast
17. Richmond
18. North Melbourne

* There is a strong possibility these teams are crap.

Geelong not low enough, you are seeing them through rose coloured glasses as usual.

You have to remember the team is going through a bad patch. It will not remain that way. I suspect we have now been through the worst of it and if that's considered a bad patch, it's still better than the 8 other clubs vying for finals position.
Cats are certainties for finals. Probably struggle to make top four but can definitely see Guthrie and Dangerfield heating up in the second half of the season to spark a fairly mundane midfield core into action.
Yes, they might not be as bad as Melbourne, but they are way off from the Swans.
 
Nope, if last night was anything to go by i was too generous. I might've made a mistake with Adelaide, Geelong will be lucky to win 3 or 4 more games.
You had Geelong 14th.

14th in 2023 was good for 10 wins, but could easily be 9.

So you only have 1 or 2 Geelong wins left to give your prediction a chance.

Like I said, you had Geelong too high. 8 wins and 16th is my prediction.

We have a lot of crook teams this year as Melbourne have just proved. Geelong are not much chop either.

Do we get to play North 5 times this year? I can’t see where our 6 wins comes from 🤣
