2024 Ladder Predictions

[FootyLad0]

Don’t forget the handbaggers…
I grew up with that.

Basically a term of endearment at this point.
This handbag is filled with Premiership cups

[Joao]

GWS getting a lot of love.

They should be right there.

If the prelim was played anywhere other than the MCG and they were premiers this year with their form on the way in.

Assuming they carry it over, they should be hosting a QF in 2024.

It's funny how u can scroll through the predictions, cover the poster with your hand and guess pretty consistently who the posters support by their ladders

I would have backed in the Lions against the Giants we have a pretty decent record against them

I have no problem with that. I'd have said 55-45 Giants way but you can easily make a case for the Lions.

Ill bet a case of beer that not a single prediction comes true

 

[Caligo]

At least some of those predictions are absolutely certain to come true. Particularly the fade out section.

 

[bungalow_bill]

Daicos is also a very good chance for the Brownlow. Probably equal favourite with Neale

 

[Caligo]

I think there are at least half a dozen potential brownlow winners,you can't be sure about any of them. But at least half that guy's list of people who will fade out definitely will, and at least a few of the list to break out definitely will. He had like 30 predictions there, at least half a dozen will be true for sure.

I'll bet another case of beer that you won't get close either, like the rest of us

2024 Ladder Prediction ???? You have enlightened us with an extra 7 more of your prognostications so Why not just go all way the way and tell Us what Owens wins the Saint’s B&F By, who comes 2nd, 3rd and 4th. Oh ! and don’t forget Best Clubman. Dribble.

Jesus, buddy lighten up. Don't see how it's any more dribble than the rest of the posts here. Here's another prediction for you: you'll spend all your days pulling your pud in the mirror wishing it was five times bigger and that it was Kaitlyn Jenner doing it for you.

Quite possibly, but I guarantee bulldogs Melbourne Freo essendon all miss out on finals.

You seem to have a few pearls of wisdom in your kit bag so why don’t you enlighten all of us on what pulling your pud is ??? Wishing it was 5 times bigger ???

Magpies are still number 1 for me well driiled and coached.
People also forget for the last 3 or 4 years Ports gun midfield has been roving to losing rucks and they still finish around the top 4.
With a couple of new rucks who even if they break even most games will see ports midfield dominate games consistently, they are Collingwoods main threat.Carlton Brisbane Gws also chances to make a gf but that's about it.

 

[austinnn]

The St.K midfield depth all of a sudden looking old compared to Ess which could dramatically improve. I’m not sure you do finish higher than the Bombers.

Jones 30 - Merrett 28
Crouch 30 - Parish 26
Hill 30 - Stringer 29
Ross 30 - Hobbs 20
Wood 30 - N.Martin 23
Steele 28 - Perkins 22
Stocker 24 - Durham 22
Dow 24 - Caldwell 23
Henry 22 - Duursma 23
Windhager 20 - Tsatas 19

King and Owens together probably need to have better years than Wright and Langford because I think McKay and Ridley together will be better than Wilkie and Howard.

So what if one midfielder is a year older than another?

I comfortably predict that Essendon will be garbage for most of the next season, regardless of that ahem star-studded midfield of theirs, just like this year.

Yes, they had a dream fixture, but St Kilda got into the finals with one of the league's worst midfields and King and plenty of others missing for months. Dow and Henry bring speed, which was a massive problem for the Saints and a key element of the current game, plus another year into Owens, Phillipou and Windhager, Steele back to his previous weight, Byrnes, Clark and Jones as depth plus youngsters like Wilson, Hotton and Garcia possibly getting a run, I think the Saints have strengthened in the right areas. Will it be enough to be in the 8 in September? I'm predicting it will be, but Iike this season, only because I think there are a few teams who are starting to plateau (Cats, Swans) and other teams who look a bit suspect (Power, Dogs, Dees, Dons, Dockers) plus plenty of clubs who are still a year or two away from being competitive.

Essendon don't have a compelling game plan imo, and are still pretty weak at both ends of the ground despite their list managing maestro working his magic lol.

In the end its my opinion, I've been wrong plenty of times before and I will be again, I'm OK with that.

Including the wings: Marshall, Sinclair, Crouch, Steele, Wood, Ross, Jones with the odd burst from Owens and Gresham was not a bad midfield at all. Not too many flashy names but it's not one of the worst in the AFL by any stretch.

You have saints 5th.

I'll guarantee you're clueless

GWS have close to the beat list and are finally playing a genuinely attacking game plan after the wasted years under Leon Cameron

Just like everyone else, big shot.

No one thought the Saints would make it this year either.

Regarding your team, Bevo is a meglomaniac who will be fortunate to last the season, you'll have at least two of the Dogs' biggest stars requesting trades by September, something very iffy at the Kennel at present. You'll still get the umpires helping out, but it won't be enough for 2024.
