I would love to see how club respect is reciprocated... I noticed that Freo rate Hawthorn and Hawthorn rate Freo, but there are some who rate one way but not the other

Oh, you mad.
You sure about that?
I hadn't found this before. Great work. But it's bizarre that not only do most Big Footy fans underestimate the Swans every year - but most Swans supporters agree with them!

Will be interesting at end of year to see who were the most delusional supporters.
Have a sneaky suspicion it may be the least delusional from original ladder.
Too early for that call, still possible that we'll finish 5th which is where we rated ourselves on average.

Its almost a moot point. Given that only three wins seperate 3rd and 9th spot, and the same between 7th and 13th. Its really only people that were expecting big things from Port, Bulldogs or Melbourne that can be considered totally delusional.
Or did Carlton think they were going to rise above the pack?

Not really; they thought they'd finish Top 4 for sure (100% of ladders by Carlton supporters), but probably not make the Grand Final (only 36% of ladders) or win the flag (11%).
This isn't very different to what BigFooty overall thought: 75% tipped the Blues for Top 4, 23% for Top 2, and 7% for the flag.
The "Most Delusional Supporters" ladder put Carlton last because their expectations for the Blues weren't much higher than everyone else's.
Of course, now you can say those expectations were too optimistic, but that's not because Carlton fans were delusional; it's just that their team has performed quite a bit worse than almost everyone thought.

I just had a sneak peek at who's tracking to be the best tipster out of those 357 ladders, and as the ladder stands today, it's a tie between:
On a team basis, from best tipsters to worst:

Genuinely not surprised that Sydney is first, we tend to be very realistic not only about our own ladder position, but everyone elses, on the basis of not really having any hated teams.
Out of interest, what threads are you using to make these predictions, and if so could you track down my prediction?

Cheers. Is there a quick way to search through it for mine?
I tried doing a Search but it didn't come up, so either I posted mine in one of the other ladder predictor threads, or I'm not using Search right, because I definitely made one.

Top 5 all interstate teams, could it be (as SM suggested) that because these teams have less hate for others that they can judge more objectively?
As a side note despite being labelled the most delusional North and Hawthorn supporters were the best out of the VIC teams.
Did you use any of these ladders?

Nope. That thread started quite late, just before the pre-season. Quite a few people copied their ladders from the original Prediction thread(s) to that one, so there's some overlap, but I didn't use it.

Weekend's results were bad for Pegasaur, leaving Daz as our frontrunner.
On a club basis, North and Pie fans made a move:
- Sydney
- North Melbourne (↑4)
- West Coast (↓)
- Adelaide (↓)
- Brisbane
- Fremantle (↓2)
- Port Adelaide (↑)
- Hawthorn (↓)
- Collingwood (↑3)
- Essendon
- Western Bulldogs (↓2)
- Geelong (↓)
- St Kilda
- Richmond (↑)
- Carlton (↓)
- Melbourne

May have missed it somewhere, but what's the consolidated predicted ladder by Sydney fans? Just curious to see who we've gone with as our ladder prediction.
