Prediction 2022 Ladder Predictions

scaryness · Feb 27, 2022

Post your full 1-18 ladder predictions and unrestrained Swans optimism here.

If you really want to go in extreme detail you can use the Squiggle Ladder Predictor and tip every game of the season.

Squiggle AFL Ladder Predictor

Squiggle, the home of computer-aided AFL footy tipping, offers a handy ladder predictor tool.

predictor.squiggle.com.au

I will lock the thread just before Round 1 and at the end of the H&A season I can use the Squiggle ladder rater to see who gets the most bragging rights (maybe even a badge if someone wants to make one up).

Bloody hell I hope you’re wrong about Melbourne. So tired of these teams coming from years of being garbage and then winning multiple flags like it’s nothing. After Richmond I don’t want to see Melbourne do something similar.

And yes I’m still bitter that we never seem to be able to steamroll to multiple flags but instead just make it over the line. As proud as I am of those flags.

Anyway I agree that we’ll finish 6-8 which would actually be fine given what we lost as long as the development of a few of the younger guys really comes along. Then I can comfortably say we’ll be primed from 2023 and beyond.

Top 4 would be a colossal achievement but I don’t think we’re there yet.

Haha we have the exact same calls on the two WA clubs!

Btw it's worth remembering when everyone does these that Geelong get about 8-10 free wins every year on account of no one knowing how to play their shitbox home ground. They'll never not make finals.

Think will finish between 7th and 11th

Bit harder draw and the scg

tombomb · Feb 28, 2022

I think we may drop back a bit this year.

Everything that went right unexpectedly last year would need to happen again for us to just hold position.

Buddy having a huge impact, Hickey being borderline AA. Young players playing better than expected. A pretty decent run with injury.

Dawson is a massive loss and expecting his output can be replaced by 1-4 year players is unrealistic. He is such a good player and no one can convince me that we didn't get ripped off on that trade.

I am okay with us letting Hewett go, but he was still a big body who was consistent, injury free, and entering the prime of his career. I think his loss will be felt this year.

Even if you don't agree with that, they are still 2 players entering their absolute prime who can't just be replaced with players who have played 20 games. The two biggest mistakes supporters make is overrating their young players and assuming everything that went wrong last year won't happen again.

To improve into the premiership mix, we would need most things that went right last year to happen again, plus improvement from several young players to cover the loss of Dawson and Hewett, plus another decent injury run.

Mills (and now Papley) would need to come back at 100% and Heeney would have to emerge as a top 10 player in the game. Hayward and Florent would need to take another step. McCartin maybe becoming a premier key defensive player in the comp. At his age and experience, I still think that is a lot to expect.

IMO, a lot has to go right assuming nothing goes wrong for us to improve our ladder spot.

I think we are in a fantastic position long term, but it will be when Warner, McInerny, Blakey, Gulden, T McCartin, Campbell, Gulden, McDonald, Stephens, Wicks and other young players hit 80+ games where we will be really really good.

SSwans2011 · Feb 28, 2022

I've never predicted us to lose a match, so I stay away from ladder predictions.

Nature abhors a vacuum. Opportunities can create careers.

I think McInerney will astound Swans supporters this year. He will render ~~Dawson~~ to a very distant memory.

~~Hewett~~ was a favourite of mine. Still is I hate to admit. I will watch his progress at Carlton like a lost son who I keep tabs on. But we have midfielders overflowing in our team. They just need opportunities to shine. Campbell and Stephens head a queue. Gulden and Warner will amaze supporters this year.

Buddy hopefully will continue his stellar form and get his 1000th goal. This will be a weight off his shoulders and the team's and spur him on to play with a freedom that will excite supporters.

Tom Mccartin has been a rock at the back and is being joined by a boulder in Paddy. I expect these two to be the Batman and Robin in our back 6. Rampe will welcome the dynamic duo and he can take the cape out of the cupboard and play a super hero role again.

Heeney does not need to ~~emerge~~. He is already there. OPSM needed for some supporters to appreciate what is already unfolding before their eyes.

Mills can getter better. Scary isn't it!!

Papley even on a bad day is just unstoppable. On a good day he can lift the team on his own small forward shoulders and leap fences.

I agree we are in a fantastic position. There are a host of other players, some to excite us with their debuts too.

2022 cannot come quick enough. I think we will consolidate our position in the top 8 and push for top 4.
