Coaching Predictions

Walsh and Hinkley will enter into a mullet growing competition, with the loser having to drink a bottle of unfiltered Adelaide water. Hinkley loses, barely survives, but the upshot is that with his new mullet is crowned as supreme commander of Port Adelaide. Walsh celebrates his win by releasing a mashup of Achy Breaky Heart & Wrecking Ball called Achy Breaky Wrecking Ball.
Leppitsch fills in for the Lions mascot one day when the Lion is ill & has so much fun that he gives up coaching, devoting himself to a life as an actual Lion, similar to the Leopard man in the UK.
Malthouse quits before the Collingwood game out of respect to the AFL community and instead joins a travelling stage production of Sesame St where he will play Oscar the Grouch.
Buckley sees the writing on the wall after a horror start to the season. He leaves the Pies, leaves his wife, & moves to a the Netherlands which allows for same sex marriages, and marries himself.
Hird reveals that during his time away from the game he did some part time work & decides to devote himself fully to that role. Sadly for the Bombers, he departs, going on to become a Pharmacy Assistant.
Lyon's Dockers begin the slide & Lyon heads for greener pastures. He is offered the role of assistant back at Sydney & is enlisted with the task of making their forward line more attacking.
Chris and Brad Scott swap roles just prior to the round 4 clash. The Cats immediately drop out of the 8 and have an excuse for every loss, whilst the Kangaroos sit top 2. The ruse is discovered by their wives just before the finals and North slide out of contention in straight sets.
Eade's Suns suffer the heartbreak of seeing their captain Mr Ablett injured (only for 1 game) in the first round, with GC capitulating as soon as the great man goes to the bench. Eade breaks 2 telephones, puts his fist through the wall, and bursts 2 arteries. He quits coaching for the less stressful job of an aircraft controller.
Cameron adopts Jeremy Cameron and threatens to ground him if he speaks to other clubs. This works, so the coach Cameron adopts a total of 10 players & spend all of their money on their boys' allowances, birthdays & Christmas gifts.
Clarkson tries to beat Eade's record of destruction when the Hawks lose to Melbourne in round 7, but he can't reach the soft part of the wall and breaks his hand on a brick wall. He quits footy & becomes a Buddhist monk.
Roos' Demons win only 1 game for the year & that is against the Hawks. He walks away from the club at the end of the season to take up the West Coast job on a contract that makes Buddy's seem like a bargain.
Hardwick has a post game conference with Jack Riewoldt at his side. They reprise the famous Austin Powers Dr Evil scene where he tells his son to be quiet, zip it etc.
Richardson cries after every game & when St Nick retires after round 11, Richardson begins stalking him begging him to return. This ends when Riewoldt presses charges after Richo pops out of his wheelie bin when Nick is taking out the rubbish one night.
Simpson is sacked mid season with West Coast sitting in the bottom 2. He is permanently banned from WA when he admits that the West Coast fans are the worst in the league.
Longmire starts running training pre season and is so successful that he enters the 2015 Melbourne Cup. He wins and Red Cadoux is 2nd, with all horses given a clean bill of health after the race.
The Bulldogs decide to coach themselves. They drop themselves and don't have a team ready for the game, 3 times in the year, leading to forfeits, but they decide that their percentage is less harmed when this happens so they only decide to play against St Kilda, Melbourne, West Coast (in Melbourne only), & challenge all of the VFL sides when they are laughed at. Box Hill beat them by 5 points.

Too far mate, too far.

Are you sure you used enough emoticons?

No. I don't think I did?
LOL!!!

I wonder what would happen premiership points-wise if that were ever to happen. Award two points to each team (a draw) or a mutual agreement to be had if a team were to be up by five goals or more when the game stopped.

I remember we were playing Sydney in a stormy final ten years ago and play was stopped for an extended period. The commentators at the time claimed that the situation was unprecedented and the AFL had confirmed that if play was not to resume, Sydney were to be declared winners and move onto a semi final. I guess it was fair because Sydney were up by six or seven goals at that point. Play resumed shortly after and we lost by ten or so goals. I wonder if it would come down to the AFL to declare a winner if play cancellation was to ever occur.

Of course, human life is worth much more than a game of footy, even if it were just a kid playing a joke.

The SAAFL has a rule that emanates from the AFL that states that if games are stopped due to problems before halftime then the game is declared a draw with percentage determined by existing scores. After halftime, then the game is awarded to whoever is in front at the time that the game is abandoned. This has happened three times in the last two years due to extreme circumstances eg heart attack on the field, broken back and extreme shattered ankle. Prior to the match the result is determined by the governing body.
Used to be rule 10.6

That makes sense, I think the heavy rain came just after half time and stopped play for ten or twenty minutes.

tl;dr

 

[tige19]

1. Gold Coast top 4

2. Buddy to kick the ton

3. Ross Lyon to leave a sinking ship as Freo fade

4 ( for s**t's a giggles). Ross Lyons management to approach Brisbane Lions to take over the reigns after the Lions improve to finish 8th

 

[Grongey]

1. Port will be premiers
2. Gold Coast will finish top 4
3. Tom Rockliff will win the Brownlow

 

[clobba]

(1) StKilda - to be the 1st side since Fitzroy in the mid 1960s - to go through the year winless 0-22

(2) Malthouse - 4 weeks from the end of the year - terminated - interim coach appointed

(3) Geelong - to get a consistently rough deal from the umpires

I thought it was bold predictions not impossible

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

1. St Kilda to finish above Carlton.

2. Collingwood to finish top 5.

3. Essendon saga explodes when it becomes apparent that the former chairmen, coach and coterie members intended to invest in an AOD r&d "project", which gains worldwide attention and condemnation.

Sorry, couldn't help but throw that last conspiracy theory in there.
