I reckon Sydney beat Hawk and lose to us and Hawks beat WC. This means Sydney first on 68, Adelaide second on 68, Hawks third on 64. Fourth spot is open and will depend on Pies/WCE game.
We either finish 5th 6th or 7th. Assuming we finish 6th we either get North or WCE in Melb, followed by either Adelaide or Hawthorn. Sounds good to me.
I feel that the ladder may indeed look like this. would have to feel the boys have a good chance at beating the coasters.im thinking:
hawthorn
sydney
adelaide
collingwood
--------------
north
geelong
west coast
freo/carlton
i think we should take care of west coast (cannot see them beating haw and coll) week 1, and then it would be adelaide in adelaide, most likely, which is very winnable.
that would put us up against hawthorn or collingwood, right?
i feel like a PF is a good possibility, but a GF, while definitely possible, is perhaps a little optimistic.
still, its a very strange year - interested to see what happens to north in the finals. i dont mind them.

That would be almost my ideal top 8 from here.A few issues with the ladder predictor, particularly that their should be more margin increments. You may not think that Team A will beat Team B by 100 points, but you think they will win by more than 60 points. And that could quite easily be the difference between finishing above a team and finishing below them. A hundred point win obviously makes a big difference, depending on whether you win 120-20, or 220-120. And another problem that I find is trying to put away my 'Geelong supporter' hat with regards to the other results. Anyway, here's mine. The issue with not being able to pick any margin obviously means that 5th/6th and 8th/9th may have changed if I could pick any margin.

that's an interesting one MC. The difference between 5th and 6th being .1 of percentage!
I can't see Hawthorn dropping to fourth, except in my dreams. It's an interesting end to the season.
Say the above turned out, except Carlton makes up the 0.3% on Fremantle and finishes eighth.
Under that scenario I'd much rather finish sixth and play West Coast in Melbourne than finish fifth and play Carlton.
that is amazing PO. I feel that if hawthorn stay in the top 2 and win their first final then they are a monty to take the flag. That said, could easily lose to sydney in sydney. Can't see the bulldogs giving them much grief.Hawthorn could actually, if they lose their last 2, drop to 5th, and Collingwood could drop to 7th.
Not saying either will happen, but that just shows you how congested the ladder is and how hard it is to predict anything at present.

hawthorn
sydney
adelaide

At least you'll still die happy.that is amazing PO. I feel that if hawthorn stay in the top 2 and win their first final then they are a monty to take the flag. That said, could easily lose to sydney in sydney. Can't see the bulldogs giving them much grief.
In my heart I can see us on a clear run to back to back. My head and the history of the top 8 gives me a different outcome ...

Yeah I see it turning out this way too. But hell Brisbane beat Adelaide ??? Just so hard to predict - when normally by this time in the season - we have a good idea who will win in the last couple of games.
