Alright floggos, the season opener is only 10 days away, so we're well overdue for the return of the Bay 13 Predictions Competition!
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 the ultimate Flogstradamus for 2017 and will earn themselves some easy MVP votes.
Questions:
1 point
1. Will there be any sort of strike/boycott from the AFL players in relation to the CBA?*
2. Will St Kilda honour an opposition player/figure (on their banner, with a guard of honour, etc.) this year?*
3. Will Damien Hardwick still be an AFL coach by Grand Final day?
4. Will the China game be GC’s highest home crowd for the season?
5. Who will captain more Brions wins, Beams or Rockliff?*
6. Who will gather more disposals this year, Jaegar O’Meara and Tom Mitchell, or Sam Mitchell and Jordan Lewis?*
7. Will Rory Sloane poll more Brownlow votes than all other Crows mids combined?*
8. Who will kick more goals, Shane Kersten or Aaron Black?*
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. Clangman Medal winner (most clangers)?
15. How many coaches will be sacked by Grand Final day?
16. Who will replace Xavier Richards as Sydney’s 11th highest goalkicker?*
Nearest the pin
17. Contested marks taken by Charlie Dixon?* 5 for exact, 3 for within 6, 1 for within 15.
18. Tom Boyd’s average Supercoach score?* 5 for exact, 3 for within 10, 1 for within 20.
19. Games played by Brett Deledio?* 5 for exact, 3 for within 3, 1 for within 5.
20. How many free kicks received by Lindsay Thomas?* 5 for exact, 3 for within 5, 1 for within 10.
21. How many more tackles than goals for Chris Mayne?* 5 for exact, 3 for within 15, 1 for within 25.
22. Brownlow votes polled by Jobe Watson? 5 points for exact number, 3 for within 2 votes, 1 for within 4 votes.
23. How many goals will it take to win Carlton’s goalkicking?* 5 for exact, 3 for within 3, 1 for within 6.
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)
- question 2 has a broad (and subjective) criteria, and will possibly require photographic or news article evidence
- question 7 does not include ruckmen, and only players who are primarily midfielders (as decided by myself)
- for questions 4-8, if you think the answer will be the same, you must specify so
- if question 16 is a tie, full points will be awarded to anyone with the correct answers
- if you think it'll be more goals, answer with a negative number
- some of the nearest the pin scores are incomplete currently, they will be added later
