2024 Ladder Predictions

[FootyLad0]

Final crack at this. 3 new teams in the 8:

1. Brisbane
2. Pies
3. Swans - was sceptical but their list is pretty stacked and will rack up wins at home
4. Crows

5. Saints - am a RTB truther, provided their midfield holds up then NWM, Owens, Phillipou take them up a level
6. Blues
7. Bulldogs - provided JUH goes to next level
8. Suns - don't rate too highly but easy draw allows them to sneak in

9. Melbourne - start hot but mid depth and lack of rest for Max takes a toll
10. GWS - hot take, but their fringe players all were in career best form all at once last year
11. Bombers
12. Power
13. Hawks
14. Geelong
15. Freo
16. Richmond
17. North
18. WCE

If we finish lower than Hawthorn i'll buy you a beer

 

[GoldStandard]

1. Brisbane - Battle hardened, talented, confident, players have been together for a while.
2. Sydney - No more Buddy Franklin to carry through a season. Talented, well coached.
3. Western Bulldogs - They looked good in the preseason, look like one of the few teams who can score in a hurry.
4. Adelaide - They play fast, they can score and don't have big egos on the team.
5. Collingwood - They'll kinda just tread water. Will be a dangerous finals matchup.
6. Geelong - Proud footy club with veterans who are playing into their 30s for good reason (coz they're good)
7. Carlton - They'll be about the same as last year. They'll rely on their superstars and eke out a finals appearance.
8. GWS - They're usually in the mix.

9. Port Adelaide
10. Gold Coast
11. St Kilda
12. Melbourne
13. Fremantle
14. Richmond
15. Essendon
16. Hawthorn
17. West Coast
18. North Melbourne

[PAFC66]

Collingwood won't make the 8. Bookmark it.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Collingwood won't make the 8. Bookmark it.

Pretty sure they will play finals (have plenty of games at the MCG), but can they make top 4?

Lacking key position players.

[imagifED]

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

So so hard where I had Melbourne 2nd then slid them to 11th. Imagine the top 14 have making finals as a realistic pass mark so 6 teams will have a failed season.

Looking alright. Maybe could swap Essendon and St Kilda, St Kilda the hardest team to predict.

Proper list this time...It's easy to make a strong case for a lot of teams this year.

 

[smasha]

Geelong have a HUGE home ground advantage now,best in the league by a mile.

They will make the 8 purely on that.

They should but didn't last year but reckon that was more due to lack of hunger after flag

[Gavin Excell]

Geelong went 0-3 start of last year in their premiership defence and season was effectively over

Pies lose to Sydney next week (not beyond the realms) and are then up to Qld to meet Lions home deck

0-3 beckons?

Don’t they play saints before the lions?

 

[BennyGFunk]

Don’t they play saints before the lions?

Saints are a strong defensive side

So they could be 0-4 then? Gotcha

 

[Vdubs]

Geelong have a HUGE home ground advantage now,best in the league by a mile.

They will make the 8 purely on that.

Lost a few home games in 23, and only get 8 or 9, not 11
Does your league not include teams outside Victoria?

 

[Gavin Excell]

Saints are a strong defensive side

So they could be 0-4 then? Gotcha

That's the hope, yes

 

[YeoShuey]

Here’s the most accurate prediction that you will find

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

well, so far happy with where I put Carlton and less happy with where I put Collingwood. Should have stuck Collingwood lower in hindsight. Probably Sydney higher too.

Swap Geelong and St Kilda, move Bulldogs up and it's a solid effort.
