Predict the bottom four at the end of 2018

[TooBlue14]

There is a difference between not wanting to finish bottom 4 and reality.

This is an opinion based forum right, none of us know the outcomes at this stage. I BELIEVE WE WONT FINISH BOTTOM 4. You're okay to have your own opinion on this matter too.

How many games you see Carlton winning?

How many games you see Carlton winning?

Imo - Carlton will be either 4-1 or 3-2 after 5 rounds if that helps.
Rich - loss
GC -Win
Coll - Win
North - 50/50
West Coast - Win

I mean for the entire season.

You would probably need to win 7 at least to be safe from bottom 4.

Yeah, chances are a team with a bad injury run will finish surprisingly low.

I reckon any of those teams could finish outside the bottom 4 if they have a good injury run.

North seem widely tipped for bottom 2, but a forwardline of Brown, Waite, Wood, Garner, Simpkin, Turner etc is potentially one of the better forwardlines going around, and they have 3 good ones in the midfield, in Cunnington, Higgins and Ziebell, and McDonald may join them this year, then you also add in LDU, and they could also have a solid backline, so for mine they could easily finish outside the bottom 4.

It appears you have not grasped the meaning of this thread.

I agree. I’ve gone the prediction off the fixture. My wins are:
GC ( x 2 )
Coll (once)
WC (Melb)
Dogs (once)
Freo (Melb game only)
Saints
Hawks

Can't see Carlton anywhere else than bottom 2 or 3. Docherty is arguably the biggest loss for any team in 2018 and they'd already lost a lot with the Gibbs departure.

That's not necessarily a bad thing. I don't mind their young group, but they're still 20-40 games away from pushing them towards the top half of the bottom 10.

Freo
Suns
Lions
North

Blues will surprise a few sides this year. A heap of new faces and game plan tweaks will catch a few teams off guard and will deliver a few extra wins
Expect the blues to finish between 10-14 this year

I think you'll be the one that is surprised

They drop 3 of their first 4 and they are a monty for bottom 2.

If winning 8 games gets you out of the bottom 4 then Brisbane safe. Brisbane won 5 last year and have added Hodge, Cameron, Rayner and have Mitch R and Christensen back from injury. Debuted another 5 in last two years who are in our best 22 who will be a lot better this year. Bottom four for me Carlton, Gold Coast, North, Freo.

Lions are a side that SHOULD improve but everyone is waiting to see some evidence of that happening first. Easier to assume the norm will stay the norm.

Yeah - the problem is I can't see too many going backwards either. Anyway, I will continue to live in my bubble of preseason optimism!

So presumably this is locked in after the first JLT matches?

 

[BuffDog]

Yup bombers a lock now

Bottom 6-8, but no way bottom 4

We shall see

Strong draft so wouldn’t be the worst thing

Don't have a first-rounder this year, although could well end up with a first-round compensation pick.

So you supported the swans in that horrible 1992-4 period? Well done for sticking through to it.

Oh and Nice Sig by the Way. I am a massive Bret "the Hitman" Hart fan myself

Nature boy or GTFO.
Wooooooooooooooo

Think the Saints are a sneaky chance to drop, not sure it'll be in the bottom 4 but they have lost a bit of quality with Riewodlt and Montagna retiring.

Bret cheated. It was that simple.
