AFL 2014 Ladder Predictions

[JohnnyFontane90]

They're impossible to pick right now hey? Depends on whether they play more like early 2013 or late 2013. And I'm not sure about Carlton either. I had picked them higher but Sunday night's performance was disappointing. I can't tell yet whether a) Port just played off the park, b) Carlton are shit, or c) Carlton just had an off night

as a port Adelaide fan I'm sure you will remember going to back to last year that carlton has 2 great quarters and 2 pathetic quarters in them every week. the key is making the most of the 2 good quarters and limiting damage in the 2 bad ones.

I'm really sorry I rather like West Coast, especially since their epic booing performance against Jab and Essendon last year. I found the ladder predictor and gave it a go instead of just going off emotion. It says 2013, but it's current: http://www.afl.com.au/ladder/ladder-predictor

It looks a lot better for West Coast if I predict game by game, probably because I don't rate their list but West Coast will rarely lose against a poor team down in Perth. This is my fifth prediction so far. I think I have a problem.

How in the name of the great signing fat teutonic lady did you get Essendon in 3rd and winning an away Prelim at Subi, to say nothing of West Coast ending up only ahead of the Demons on percentage?

For real?
We have one of the toughest draws this season, only 7 home games, second highest number of 6 day breaks for the year, travel 6 times, play the following twice: Fremantle, Hawthorn & Carlton as well as having to play all of last years finalists.

Port Adelaide and Richmond and quite a few others only play 6 of last years finalists while also receiving upwards of 12-13 home matches.

Collingwood again gets a luxury fixture, playing Hawthorn and Carlton twice while getting 14 home games.
Nice work again Ed

chuck in the team that shakes up the cats.

I am expecting another choke from Freo before their 2015 premiership.

And Melbourne have Roosy. West Coast just have some schmuck. Given how poor their list is, and a lack of gun youngsters, I think West Coast only dropping one position from last year is very kind. And if you think you're unhappy, wait til the Brisbane and Collingwood supporters see my predictions.

If you don't like these predictions I have a bunch of others in my history that might be more to your liking.

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

Worried?

 

[RossFC]

just a reminder this is a kneejerk table. Sydney,Richmond and Brisbane will all obviously be higher.

 

[Hate]

Wasn't expecting Melbourne or GCS to be higher, but as the AFL season has already shown - there can be many upsets, twists and turns. So give or take a few matched that you would lock in the opposition, I've lock them in to win it instead. I think was really bias in the finals with Richmond. I guess that's just where I'd like to see them.

Perhaps your right and I just can't help tip a cats team to win in those tough games. Before I did the ladder predictor, my thoughts were that Geelong had an older side that might struggle to keep the form they've had for years, now I guess it's just hard to say that these guys will sink out of the top 4.

You're deluded if you think Richmond will make it to the Prelims, let alone the Top 8.

Did you only look at the photo and completely neglect to read what I wrote beneath it? If you did read it, then I think you're the 'deluded' one.

Thread is ladder predictions, not "where I'd like to see my club finish on the ladder"

So out of this NINETY EIGHT PAGE THREAD, there is not one other post that is influenced by their own bias opinion as to where their club finishes? The difference is here, that I actually posted that mine was. If you honestly believe that this thread is for the dead set serious, no ifs or buts about anything then you sir are the biggest joke.

That is why clocks are round.

 

[Engimal]

Done my ladder predictor. Didn't think I'd see North getting this many wins and there were a few uncertain games where I clicked on North out of faith.

Anyway:

 

[BloodRet]

Very tight around the middle of the table, any of the teams ranging from Adelaide to Collingwood could finish anywhere between 6th and 12th. Very big gap between GWS and the bottom three, and also a very big gap between Port and the top 3. I also feel like Gold Coast will sneak into the eight. Their ascension to the top has started.

 

[BloodRet]

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

Our ladders are very very very similar

Woah, OK.

 

[Suit]

So, I guess I'll also be foolish enough to make a prediction.

1: Fremantle (76)
2: Hawthorn (72)
3: Sydney (64 or 68)
4 to 6: Port Adelaide, North Melbourne, Geelong (60 - 56)*
7 to 11: Richmond, Gold Coast, Adelaide, West Coast, Essendon (52 - 44)*
12 to 14: (Collingwood, Carlton, Western Bulldogs) (40-32)*
15: Brisbane (24)
16: Greater Western Sydney (20)
17: Melbourne (16)
18: St. Kilda (8 or 12)

*listed in no particular order

 

[RossFC]

I reckon if West Coast beat the Bulldogs (who I rate as no easy beats) They will definitely be in the mix for the top 8 (i've got them 7th atm)

dogs are no easy beats, but west coast would be very concerned if they didn't win that game at home.

Yep I agree, lose this game and it could set the tone for a below average year.
