The pre-season has now officially come to an end and that time has come again to demonstrate your incredible knowledge and foresight, just fluke a few guesses, or make a fool of yourself. Either way put your thoughts out there!
For the record, last year we voted for a Top 8 of:
Brisbane
Port
Richmond
Geelong
Bulldogs
St Kilda
West Coast
GWS
Nearly our worst effort so far. Only 12 people picked Melbourne to make the finals. The worst effort since 2018 when only 9 people picked the Coasters to make the 8.
So our prediction thread has gone:
2021: 5 of 8
2020: 7 of 8
2019: 6 of 8
2018: 5 of 8
2017: 6 of 8
2016: 5 of 8
So going by that trend, we're likely to pick at least 2, maybe 3 sides that will fail to make the 8. Who will we overestimate this year?
No one picked the grand finalists or premiers last year.
Us against the rest picked Wines for the Brownlow.
Janus picked Wines and Aliir for AA, though he did also list half the team. A few others got Aliir or Ollie.
Nearly all of us picked the Kangas for the spoon, so that was our most accurate prediction by far, despite 'Snake Baker' telling us all early in the season how wrong we were and how the Roos would surprise the comp.
My predictions for 2022
1. Melbourne
2. Brisbane
3. Western Bulldogs
4. Port Adelaide
5. GWS
6. St Kilda
7. Sydney
8. Geelong
9. Richmond
10. Essendon
11. Fremantle
12. Carlton
13. Gold Coast
14. Collingwood
15. West Coast
16. Adelaide
17. North Melbourne
18. Hawthorn
GF & Premiers: Brisbane Vs Melbourne - Melbourne Premiers
Wooden Spooner: Hawthorn
Brownlow: Jack Steele
Coleman: Harry McKay
Power B&F: Zac Butters
Power AA’s: Amon
Power Most Improved: Butters, Jones
Power Rising Star Nominees: Jones, Sinn
For some added fun.....
A Positive Story Line from the year:
- After bowing out in straight sets, Ken Hinkley is sacked effective immediately.
Negative Story Line for the year:
- Orazio Fantasia plays 4 games for the season before being ruled out with injury.
