2016 Ladder Predictions

[PAFC66]

Ryder is not going to make you a top 6 team next year

Ryder coming back allowing trengrove to go back to where we need him the most and having some sort of a defense back next year will help our cause. Can't predict anything really going by this thread.

 

[PAFC66]

1. He played 18 games in 2015.
2. You did nothing in 2015 with him in the side
3. You did nothing in 2016 without him in the side
4. Your problem isn't Ryder

18 games? Yeah coming of a achilles injury as a tall forward/leaping ruck. I doubt he was ever even 90% fit.

Not sure if you watched Ryder at all last year. We tried to play him forward which didn't work and when he played about 6-7 games as our only ruck we won the majority of them including games against Hawthorn. His ruck work was something we haven't seen since we had Lade tapping it to Burgoyne every week.. whether hes a huge Influence or not it's got to be better then having a 4th string ruckman do 90% and having our mids read a losing tap 9/10. A ruckman is everything,youd be bottom 8 without Jacobs I have no doubt. Your fans are already worried about him missing 1 week ffs.

You dropped your other ruckman to the 2s. Dropped where he got injured - in the 2s.

Least you admit we would still be in the 8

I myself have posted the worst thing for the AFC is Jacobs to go down. We will now see how this works this weekend and next. But having seen the team evolve without Dangerfield , I am no longer worried as much as I used to be.

Sandilands by all measures has been the dominant ruckman in the last 5 years. Freo have how many flags in that time? Once again Ryder isn't your problem

Lobbe was dropped for one game and did his knee. Makes it difficult. Howard also did his knee and Frampton was injured all preseason. We haven't quite had the luck of your side recently, 2_3 injures for the whole year is amazing. 2013-2014 we did.. I guess it all comes around at some point. Fully fit with the majority of our KPP staying injury free we'll finish Top 6 no doubt.

Sandilands has made Freo competitive. He's not going to win it for them but look at them without him.

You're playing Brisbane this week? Sloane could ruck.

 

[Go the Guts]

When will port supporters learn to stop massively over-rating their side's prospective chances for the upcoming year? 'Ryder will make us a top 6 side' etc..... Seriously, it's actually funny. Why not be quietly confident without telling the world what is just your hopeful fantasy, until you actually achieve something? 2 years in a row of serious underachieving. The over-rating is embarrassing.

 

[Wild Bill]

I pretty good but always room for improvements.

I want * next to all these BJs. Wada stuffed me!!

I will get some help from the North board as to what your new sig will be in 4 weeks time.

Sandilands is a ruckman, Ryder at best is a makeshift ruck men, Lobbe was your best ruckman he got dropped because he is crap.

I doubt too many will listen to the piss and wind of how good Port are going to be next year, the dimwits that had them top 4 surely won't get caught out 3 years in a row listening to the king of spin, Kochie

That's not true, Ryder goes Allright in the ruck

Sssh, they wont get better until they face reality, no rush IMO.

 

[ManOfClay]

This time last year Port were saying the same thing.


The Bulldogs vs port ladder thread is spectacular reading. Every excuse under the sun from Port supporters.

Perhaps their quick spike under Hinkley was more a dead cat bounce?

 

[tige19]

Why is Port being discussed? A bog average football side, bordering on irrelevancy in modern footy.

Its an automatic trigger response between Crows and Power fans.

Nice, .

Care to make the same bet for next season, Gives me a better chance to win this time I'd imagine.

1. Ryder isn't your solution

I think it must come from the top down. Coaches, administration, leadership group players all saying they are still a top 8 team when clearly they are not! In all seriousness they need to do something similar to what the Crows did at the end of 2014. Crows got rid of Sando; Trigg, appointed Fagan and Roo; got themselves a coach with a good tactical brain (R.I.P. P.W.). They acknowledged there were ongoing problems at the club and quietly went about their business to fix it instead of covering up the cracks and feeding their supporters this false positive drivel that " We're OK, we're still top 8 quality " nonsense that will ultimately get them nowhere. Now before you Port posters come back to ram this down my throat, I fully acknowledge that this situation Port is in now is much like the Crows in 2013/14. I wasn't a happy Crows supporter back then I can tell you! It can all be fixed; perhaps even sooner than you might imagine but 1st you have to admit there's a problem. It all starts there.

I'm not sure what's more disturbing, the fact that someone actually thought of a bet involving blowjobs for everyone or you accepting it

Aye I'm a team player, You posted in the thread so you're getting one too.

You have no idea if you think otherwise. If your outside players arnt getting first preference you're on the back foot everytime. Look at West coasts downfall since nic Nat has been out. We've averaged around 30 HO a game. Ryder coming back will be huge for us. Should be a top 6 side next year. He barely even played in 2015 anyway with a achilles injury.

If you think Ryder is going to make your team capable of playing finals you're delusional

 

[TipBetPro]

I think your prediction programme was one absolute failure, you may aswell have just gone for some random picking programme and you probably would have got a better result, remind me not to buy one of your software packages!

1. I don't sell any software packages - everything at TipBetPro is absolutely free
2. I said up front the model is primarily built for short term forecasting (as it is a player based model so recommendations are based on the named 22 every week). Love a pre-season prediction for a bit of fun. However it is naive to suggest that improvement always follows the same patterns and even more importantly injury rates will be as predicted. For instance - the injury runs of Freo, GC, Brisbane and Collingwood would throw any prediction model out
3. The model is dynamic. If you have been following us throughout the season you would have noticed the change in team rankings and we quickly reassesed our position on numerous teams. The model now loves Adelaide and Sydney and from halfway through the season has had them alongside Hawthorn as biggest flag threats (interestingly still has concerns on Geelong and GWS so we'll see if they come to fruition)
4. Check out the website performance. In a tough year for punting on AFL (SportsPunter who do charge has made horrific losses) we have still made a small profit in AFL whilst NRL and Cricket have both made significant profits

You are the spin king arent you.

You had Port Adelaide that failed to make finals last year finishing second, I can understand Freo as they were pretty damn good last year

Explain how a computer programme can do that when you play 5 teams twice and every other team in the comp once?

Jesus Marty36 pull your head in. The guy offers a service if you don't like it don't go there. Stop picking arguments with everyone

I had Port finishing 2nd. Want to have a chat about that?
