Port narrowly missed finals last year and have looked promising in the preseason so far (I know preseason results are near meaningless, but they have showed really positive signs).

I'm not confident in the quality of Hawthorns list, but Clarkson will keep them in contention for finals.

Fremantle were a finals quality side last year before injuries hit, but this year they already look like they'll miss their 3 best talls in Hamling, Pearce and Hogan for extended periods. Not confident in their ability to keep a fit list. If they got a Brisbane-like injury run, they'd be pushing for finals instead of being in bottom 4 territory.

Hey I wasn't too far off! I drastically overrated North Melbourne, Hawthorn and GWS, and underrated St Kilda and Brisbane

Port was a nice surprise this year. You were right about North until round 3 onwards when they fell down.

Yeah I picked Port to improve slightly, but didn't think they'd be anywhere near the top 2. North I thought were a sneaky chance at finals - terrible call in hindsight

Unfortunately no one really cares about the dockers. You’ll probably find that when people did their ladders on counting back realised they only had 17 teams, and on most occasions that missing team was the dockers.

..and you'll probably find that it's best for you not to attempt humour - it's not really your strong suit lol.

 

[Mesc]

You got close on 2 out of 10 occasions.

Wow, you guys are setting a new standard.

One before last was 91 points, and Fremantle managed just 2 goals. lol.

I'll be waiting for you after school at the bike racks mate... i'm year 4 so look out !

p.s youd better not bring ya big brother or im dobbing...

When everyone is doing joke ladders and Adelaide is in the bottom 4 and you realise that part isnt part of the joke.

Could be though.

It's true though.

Fremantle are completely irrelevant on the AFL landscape.

No even cares about the derby anymore because it is a foregone conclusion.

What's a foregone conclusion, is receiving a lame, paper-thin retort from you, that is as always, void of all merit. I wouldn't be expelling anymore of your arrogance-saturated hot air if I were you, as No Stat will play three quarters of next season at best, Hurn is not nearly as potent as he once was, and Kennedy's career is about to have a full-stop added to it. Your geriatric front runners will peak this year, with a straight-sets finals exit.

You might be right, but that is still streets ahead of Fremantle, who are just about to complete a 5th season in a row without finals.

Not surprised considering that Fremantle have had era of not being a failure.

Even then they still managed to be rated the better team and lose their one and only grand final.

In terms of lame, I don't even come close to comparing to a club like that, and it's supporters.

Amazing post

 

[GoldStandard]

1. Collingwood (they have one last crack at a premiership before their stars come out of contract)
2. Geelong (still have a strong team with very strong coaching)
3. Hawthorn (Tom Mitchell returns, Jon Patton will be a handy inclusion)
4. West Coast (Home field advantage will give them enough wins to finish top 4)
5. Essington (Inclusion of the ball movement guru will sort out this rabble)
6. North Melbourne (Good veteran team with some underrated talent at either end of the ground)
7. Richmond (Dusty usually struggles to get through a whole season, lives off his 2017 reputation)
8. Brisbane (Good vibes coming from the Gabba will be enough to overcome shortcomings in list depth)
9. St Kilda (Clear headed coaching with player buy-in will achieve a middling season for the Saints)
10. GWS (Shell shocked after pitiful Grand Final performance, a once arrogant team will now be humbled, Leon Cameron sacked midseason)
11. Sydney (Young, rebuilding list with enough top-end talent to battle it out with the big boys)
12. Carlton (Docherty is a huge inclusion, will still struggle to kick a winning score as well as prevent scores at the other end)
13. Western Bulldogs (Free agency inclusions from this mob are overrated, coaching tactics sometimes resemble under-10s footy)
14. Port Adelaide (Too many list holes, Robbie Gray is their only good player)
15. Melbourne (Leadership group is soft and is comprised of Fortnite kids, don't expect much from this mob)
16. Adelaide (Undergoing a complete rebuild, probably have enough of a culture not to win a wooden spoon)
17. Fremantle (Plenty of top-end talent but they're really the slow cousin in Perth)
18. Gold Coast (Should win more games than last year, good energies coming into 2021)
