Your three 2013 Predictions

[LeverPuller]

Surprised no one has thrown up a salary cap breach, wish I had of now.Every chance it will happen.

shit that's a good point

 

[HugeJohnson]

1. Adelaide to miss the finals.
2. Hawthorn Sydney GF again
3. Richmond to finish 9th.

Brownlow: Mundy
Coleman: Walker
Premiers: Hawthorn

 

[Coaster2012]

-West Coast and Freo will play off in qualifying final
-Carlton will beat Collingwood by a point in a friday night clash
-North Melbourne miss out on the 8, people start saying 2012 was a fluke.

 

[kosifantutti]

Why would Sydney drop out of the top 4?

There is no logic at all behind that.

Collingwood to drop out of the top 4? Surely a joke right?

Sydney and Collingwood finished one game ahead of 6th place. It's hardly outrageous to suggest that either team might not finish top 4.

 

[SuperSub17]

Richmond to be caught rorting the cap and stripped of their six 9th-placed finishes.

 

[mike14]

- Richmond to make the 8
- Geelong to miss the 8
- WCE will play Haw in the GF

 

[Lord Eddard]

AFL to extend the Finals to top 10 and Richmond to finish 11th.

 

[Blood Bath]

1. Swans to be yet again underrated
2. Swans to finish as minor premiers
3. Swans to go back-to-back

 

[wce_dyl]

A top 4 team will miss the 8.
Lance Franklin kicks 100+ goals.
Neeld will step down as coach after Melbourne get the spoon.

 

[NinjaSwan]

Hawthorn to miss the top 4.
Geelong to miss the 8.
Brisbane to make the 8.

 

[JackOutback]

Sydney and Collingwood finished one game ahead of 6th place. It's hardly outrageous to suggest that either team might not finish top 4.

Exactly...if next year is anything like this year, there could be little more than a game or two and percentage between first and sixth, seventh or eighth.

Almost every year, a top four team falls away, and until it happens, it's virtually impossible to see why. That said, if a top four team was going to fall away badly, I would suggest it would be Adelaide or Collingwood more than Hawthorn or Sydney.

 

[Captivating]

1. Hird to be sacked after Round 15 when Essendon are mathematically eliminated from finals contention.
2. Voss to be sacked after Round 16 when Brisbane are mathematically eliminated from finals contention.
3. Jonathon Brown to suffer another facial injury inflicted by the knee of a teammate.

 

[Tulip]

St Kilda will finish Bottom 4, along with the WB and two of us GC and GWS. Most likely us and GWS.

Richmond will finish 9th and win 10.

The Top 4 will be Interstate

 

[WCEbrody]

Fyfe to win the brownlow.

Eric Mackenzie to be All Australian FB/CHB.

Richmond to make the 8 but then get blown away in their fist final.

 

[MushroomRocket]

My 3 predictions are:

1. Not 1 but 2 teams from outside the 8 will storm into the top 4 in season 2013. Carlton and Essendon (as much as it pains me to say) replacing Sydney and Collingwood
2. The season will be the strongest in many years with a more A grade teams and more B grade teams and less C and D grade teams.

A Grade teams in 2013: Hawks, Swans, Crows, Blues, Freo, Essendon,West Coast
B Grade teams in 2013: Pies, Geelong, North Melbourne (will improve), Richmond (will improve), Brisbane Lions (will improve) St.Kilda
C Gold Coast Suns (Will improve), Port (will improve),
D Giants, Dees, Dogs
3. No coaches will be sacked in season 2013.

1. Only a North fan will say that while retaining his crappy team in the top 8
2. Season strength will stay the same
3. Not gonna happen

Though North will improve with essendon and carlton

 

[WWSD]

1. Geelong to win the premiership
2. Brisbane to make the top 8
3. Sam Mitchell will finally make the AA team and also win the Brownlow medal

 

[Barry_Badrinath]

1. Geelong to miss the 8
2. Richmond top 4
3. Brisbane bottom 10

Why would Sydney drop out of the top 4?

There is no logic at all behind that.

There was no logic behind Port (04), West Coast (06) and Hawthorn (08) all failing to make the top 4 the following year. Not saying it will happen but it's certainly possible.

 

[Bluelegs]

A middle of the road team with a soft draw will make about 7 or 8 and fall straight out of finals.

 

[Lord Eddard]

1. Geelong to miss the 8
2. Richmond top 4
3. Brisbane bottom 10

Port were a severly ageing team. Brisbane who played that GF were in a similar situation and missed the 8.

WCE finished 3rd.

Hawks were decimated by injury.

Deja Vu? (north)

 

[Howard Littlejohn]

1. Carlton to go top four now that they have a coach.
2. Brian Taylor to call the grand final.
3. Richmond to again show promising signs, again show improvement, and again miss the eight.

And:

Dan26 to revisit the top ten idea with 207 compelling reasons why the AFL must go to an all knockout top twelve, with all games played on Thursday afternoons, over two five minute halves on a basketball court using a medicine ball.
The AFL Rules Committee to seriously consider going to an all knockout top twelve, with all games played on Thursday afternoons, over two five minute halves on a basketball court using a tennis ball.

Bigfooty to be over-run with the same ideas for State of Origin again, both during the off-season and once the RL SoO gets close.

I dont know why but this made ma LMAO

 

[Bluelegs]

Deja Vu? (north)

Would be very surprised if they were gifted a draw that kind again. I could see Brisbane getting it as they could very potentially make finals next year and a good draw would help them. But they're not ready to go deep yet.

 

[Barry_Badrinath]

Port were a severly ageing team. Brisbane who played that GF were in a similar situation and missed the 8.

WCE finished 3rd.

Hawks were decimated by injury.

So are Sydney. Both clubs have 5 players over 30. They could also be decimated by injury like Hawthorn. And West Coast went out in straight sets, so 5th.

I don't think it will happen FWIW.

 

[Whatname]

1. St Kilda to just miss out on 8, will be moral finalists due to the umpires screwing them over every game.
2. Richmond to be 12 & 0 with every one looking forward to a Yellow & Black September, only to lose the next ten & finish ninth on percentage. Hardwick sacked & Memberships microwaved, Cotchin wins brownlow & the mob forget about the previous season as Kevin Bartlett is appointed Coach.
3. Kochie to put his head & a big Sunrise logo on the bay covers.
