AFLW tips: Expert predictions ahead of round 1

A new season brings a new hope with the AFLW presenting a full contingent of clubs for the first time in its history.

www.codesports.com.au

1. Adelaide
2. Melbourne
3. Brisbane
4. Fremantle
5. North Melbourne
6. Collingwood
7. Carlton
8. Western Bulldogs
9. GWS Giants
10. Richmond
11. Geelong
12. Essendon
13. Gold Coast
14. St Kilda
15. Port Adelaide
16. West Coast
17. Hawthorn
18. Sydney

Boldly going with an identical top 9 as last season, with the exception of a slight improvement to Carlton. In other words the only change they're predicting is the most implausible... Not impossible, but also not a tip based on any reasonable analysis (a pure fluke if it wound up correct).

This is the best punditry the football media can come up with! That and Sarah Black's warped idea of promoting the upcoming season by ranking players on form from six months ago, and still doing a really bad job of it (didn't even have Alyce Parker in her half-arsed list).

Over half way through Rd 1....so found this thread a bit late...
1. Melb
2. Kangas
3. Bris
4. Adelaide
5. Pies
6. Freo
7. Rich
8. Bulldogs

B&F: Conti and Garner tie it

Could this be the call of the season...

I think Brisbane will beat Melbourne in the GF.

Adelaide and North eliminated in the Prelims.

The remainder of the eight being Collingwood, Fremantle, Bulldogs & Richmond.

Strong contender with a week to play

 

[Teen Wolf]

Fremantle made the 8, did they. What a relief for Trent Cooper.

Did I say that? One wrong isn't bad

 

[Teen Wolf]

Don't think I said one wrong is bad either, buddy.

But it's obviously harder to make a correct quirky or unexpected prediction (such as Fremantle to miss, or Geelong to make, the finals) whereas everybody knew Brisbane and Melbourne would be good again, Richmond would push for finals etc.

 

[Dirty Bird]

Melbourne premiers over the winner of an Adelaide/Brisbane prelim.

At this point, I hope I'm wrong.
