AFL 2014 Ladder Predictions

[Bacon Warrior]

If Collingwood finishes 16th I will give a BJ to every person who posts in this thread.

Will be quoting this again next year should Collingwood finish 16th.

 

[Rod Stroker]

If North finish below Richmond, I'll join Atheist to make it a spit roast

 

[Rod Stroker]

The off field stuff is all sorted, we got a new board and new staff, all the cry babies have gone home, the club will move forward

but you still won't be any good on the field.

It always amuses me how much opposition supporters care where you place their teams in these kinds of threads.

you mean you hope Swans get hit with injuries.

 

[Suma Magic]

A lot of talk about the Lions only losing 1 best 22 player.

It's 2. Black and Yeo.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

you mean you hope Swans get hit with injuries.

Your really JUST not than good... Apart from your 2012 heist you have not been close since 06...

 

[The Dice Man]

you mean you hope Swans get hit with injuries.

No, if I thought that I would have said that. You're squad has the talent and discipline to be a top 4 side, but your depth is a worry. Add to that cultural concerns of what may happen with the Buddy scenario and your club is on a knife edge.

Will review after fixture is released

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

Premiers: Fremantle
Runners up: Sydney
Brownlow: Gary Ablett jr and Jobe Watson tie
Norm Smith: Matthew Pavlich
Coleman: Kurt Tippett

IMO any of 3-6 can change, same with 7-12.

 

[Bigeasy]

I think it's because they were pretty much a finals quality side this year. 119% suggests they are a pretty good side. They had the same problem as the 2012 Tigers - they put in strong efforts against the best teams and couldn't quite get over the line, but then they put in their worst efforts against bottom 8 sides and did just enough to lose. Realistically they probably should've won about 13 games this year.

A comparison of 2013 North and 2012 Richmond:

Richmond 2012: 10 wins, 11 losses, 1 draw, 111.63% - losing margins: 2, 4, 4, 10, 10, 12, 19, 19, 21, 22, 44
Richmond 2013: 15 wins, 7 losses, 122.81%

North Melb 2013: 10 wins, 12 losses, 119.53% - losing margins: 1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 9, 12, 14, 15, 16, 38, 39


The main difference between the two scenarios though is that North are still heavily reliant on a 36 year old Boomer and Swallow is out for half the season. Their average age this year was 24.80 while Richmond's in 2012 was 23.89. They aren't guarenteed to improve like Richmond in 2012.

We will if we get the same soft draw.

 

[Fadge]

how will adelaide not be top 8? anyone, just anyone

You'll rightfully get better than even money about Adelaide making the eight. If you're so confident, have a massive crack at it.

He wouldnt be the only one...

 

[Barry_Badrinath]

That you had in 2012? Which soft draw are you talking about?

 

[vonn]

Why doesn't anyone rate my team? *passes box of tissues*

From that one game I watched that one time, <x player> was an <insult> and just did not compare to <my team>'s <player>. Also factor in the <retirement/recruitment/coach/culture> of your team I just think you'll go backwards.

 

[WCErevival]

If this thread is anything to go by I dont think anyone has a clue where West Coast will finish.

 

[MC_9]

If this thread is anything to go by I dont think anyone has a clue where West Coast will finish.

Yep, I would say that West Coast and Adelaide are probably the 2 hardest teams to pick. Both had awful years after a good year. Both have the talent.

However in West Coasts case, it may take some time for the players properly implement Simpsons game plan.

 

[cinderella man]

Your really JUST not than good... Apart from your 2012 heist you have not been close since 06...

Seek counselling. You have some deep rooted problems. Obsession is one. An exorcisim maybe required to rid you of those SWANS that so torment you and drive you to posts of such childishness. The last thing all of us on BF want to see is you working in a sheltered workshop dribbling and counting buttons.
