2012 Ladder Predictor (Competition)

[Kcrack]

Every North supporter has rated there side top 8, usually 6th. I just don't think they are that good.

We had a tough draw last year and finished 9th. Is it really delusional for us to think we can move up 1 spot with an easier draw?

Your draw wasn't even bad last year. I rate Richmond, Adelaide and Fremantle above North and I can't see four teams falling out of the top 8 from last year. StKilda will miss the 8 and maybe Essendon.

But yes North do have the easiest draw out of all the above teams, simply because the fixture is made based on drawing crowds and making the afl money and North don't do that.

 

[smasha]

I wonder if Mike Fitzpatrick chairman and ex Carlton player,has a say in the way the draw is made?
