Prediction 2021 Early Ladder Predictions

[energyquant]

I literally have nothing to complain about, as I couldn't be happier with where the Cats are at right now.

That would be 2nd place. I also couldn't be happier with where the Cats are at right now.

Make your own judgement.

Spoiler - First ladder has St Kilda winning the spoon.

Haha, well played. Can't argue the Tiges are now the juggernaut of the comp. Being second to them at this point is no shame

Looking forward to seeing if we can get that one step closer this year

 

[The hands of stone]

Some people get very sensitive about where random people 'predict' their side to finish .

It'll be a St.Kilda vs Carlton GF next season and I think we most likely will finish in the top 6.

 

[bmaurizio]

1: Brisbane ( Will only get better)
2: Port (Very underrated list)
3: Richmond ( Probably pip Brisbane to win the flag)
5: Bulldogs (if they can keep Dunkley get a forward to bag 50+ then could bery will be higher)
4: Saints ( very much on the up)
6: Geelong (will still be competitive but I think the window has closed)
7: Fremantle ( very exciting list and will surprise a few next season)
8: West Coast ( if they can speed up their play and handle the frenetic ground ball then they will challenge for the flag, if not they might even finish lower)
9: Collingwood (The loss of Treloar will seem them slip but could still make the 8 )
10: Carlton ( could very well sneak into the 8)
11: GWS ( another mass exodus)
12: Melbourne ( Where are the wins coming from?)
13: Gold Coast ( will see a more consistent brand , were pretty good last season)
14: Sydney (rebuild in-progress)
15: Adelaide (rebuild in-progress but need to get rid of more backroom deadwood)
16: Hawthorn ( Need to start their rebuild won't be surprised to see Mitchell take over mid season 21)
17: Essendon (Shambles)
18: North ( starting almost from scratch like an expansion club)

Good read , Baggers fate will largely depend on Charlie’s rehabilitation if we can get him up and running in by 2nd half of the season, together with our new additions there’s are real chance we’ll be in the final 8 and pinch a few games

Really hinges a lot on what the season proper actually looks like. Is it hubs again in Queensland? Surely that's likely at some point with covid not disappearing any time soon.

It's hard to predict the ladder without just copy/pasting 2020 results (it makes sense that would be everyones current prediction right?)

Minor Premiers: Brisbane. No doubt there will be hubs again at some point;

On the up:
Carlton, GCS, Fremantle, Adelaide (only a couple spots..);

On the down: GWS, Collingwood, Essendon, Hawks, North.

It's hard to predict any of the top 8 from 2020 being knocked out in 2021.

Wouldn't have to drop far to be on the way down. List isn't that bad, we won't make finals but I'd expect a 10th-12th finish.

[Sprout]

I know it is just my bias talking but while I don't see the Swans making the 8 in 2021, I think we can finish between 10th and 12th, which is a reasonable improvement over 2020.

You’re underselling them. With a fit list I can see the Swans in the lower half of the 8 next year.

For those playing at home, over the past 14 years there has been an average turnover of 2.6 teams going out of the top 8. In that time it has never been less than 2 and never more than 4.

I like it. Swap Port and the Saints IMO, but a good effort nontheless.

 

[My Cotchin Rules]

I don’t mind playing in a grand final but losing to Richmond giving them a three peat and 4 in 5 years would suck arse.

Losing to Carlton period would suck arse & would actually feel like April fools day! Thank god I haven't experienced that pain in 13 straight games.

It doesn’t feel like it was that long ago we were smacking Richmond every opening round. Those times will change soon enough and Richmond will be saying the same thing hopefully.

John Brumby was beginning his tenure as Premier and there has been 3 new premiers since him, don't worry it feels like a long time ago for me! Brisbane broke the duck this year so there is every chance you do round one. Maybe........

How bad are the Saints travelling?

 

[austinnn]

The Eagles reserve team gets promoted and we get sent to the WAFL.

How bad are the Saints travelling?

 

[HairyO]

When I look at the draw I honestly cant see us losing a game.
