Alright floggos, with just over a fortnight to go until the season it's time for the return of the predictions competition!
Who will join our past winners Schulzenfest (2013), JustaBattler (2014), and go you pups (2015) as the ultimate Flogstradamus for the year? You also earn some bonus MVP votes too.
Most regulars know how this works by now, but for the new flogs, you have until just prior to the start of Richmond vs Carlton to give an answer to each of the following predictions. Your predictions are then scored at the end of the year and the most points is crowned Flogstradamus.
In addition to this, Bender_ will be running the tipping competition again (though no du rag this year). Presumably if you've joined before you will still be in the competition, but if that changes a link to the relevant thread will be left here for you to join again. If you put your tips in for round 1 you can be added to the competition later anyway.
Questions:
1 point
1. Will Essendon win a game?
2. Which new Exer (Bell, Henderson, Menzel, Yarran) will play the most games?*
3. Will Hogan sign by Grand Final day?
4. Will Dangerfield win Geelong's B&F?
5. Which West Horsham team finishes higher on the ladder?*
6. Who will spend more weeks suspended this year, Luke Hodge or Steve Johnson (including club suspension)?*
7. Will Buddy have another mysterious absence this year?*
8. Will Jake Carlisle keep his nose clean during his ban and stay 'scandal-free' by GF day?
3 points
9. May premier (top of the ladder after round 10)?
10. Wooden spoon?
11. Ninth place?
12. Losing grand finallist?
13. Leon Davis medal (WOG in the Grand Final, as judged by Bay 13 poll)?
14. AFL clanger leader?
15. AFL leader in free kicks against?
16. Leading goalkicker at Fremantle?*
Nearest the pin
17. Marks taken by Nic Naitanui this season?* 5 for exact, 3 for within 5, 1 for within 10.
18. Trent Cotchin's average Supercoach score in finals (select 0 if you think he doesn't play in one)? 5 for exact, 3 for within 10, 1 for within 20.
19. How many dollars will each Tom Boyd (AFL) goal cost (rounded to nearest thousand)?* 5 for exact, 3 for within 7k, 1 for within 15k.
20. How many games will Gary Ablett Jnr play?* 5 for exact, 3 for within 3, 1 for within 5.
21. Brownlow votes polled by Norf players under the age of 26? 5 points for exact number, 3 for within 3 votes, 1 for within 6 votes.
22. Brisbane's average home crowd (rounded to the nearest thousand)?* 5 for exact, 3 for within 3k, 1 for within 6k.
23. Jeremy Howe's disposal average (rounded)?* 5 for exact, 3 for within 2, 1 for within 4.
5 points on offer
24. Predict the bottom 4 teams? 1 point for each correct team, 5 if you get all 4.
Freewheeling
25. Go out on a limb and predict and unforseen controversy this year. It will be given a value of 1-5 points depending on a combination of likelihood (the less likely, the more points) and humour. If it comes off, you get the points.
Notes:
- all predictions are for the home and away season unless otherwise specified (* = including finals)
- if multiple answers are correct for questions 2, 14, 15, and 16 then anyone who chose those players will get full points. For question 6 if you believe they will serve the same numbers of weeks you must specify so
- question 7 will be judged based on reasonable doubt
- question 8 will be judged on confirmed stories, not the scandals & rumours board
- for question 19, Boyd's salary is assumed to be exactly $1million
- for question 21, votes for any player already aged 26 by Brownlow night WILL NOT BE COUNTED!
tl;dr version:
Fill out these questions, MVP votes and a badge if you score well.
Good luck, flogs.
