Another year, another chance to make fools of ourselves.


For the record, last year we voted for a Top 8 of:
Melb
Bris
WB
Port
Sydney
Rich
GWS
Ess/Geel - Split for 8th

We missed Collingwood and Freo.

Only 21 of the 36 voters went for Geelong

So our prediction thread has gone:
2022: 5 of 8
2021: 5 of 8
2020: 7 of 8
2019: 6 of 8
2018: 5 of 8
2017: 6 of 8
2016: 5 of 8

Marmozet and tribey picked Sydney to make the GF

Despite Schulzenfest going the early crow of Carlton to make the top 4 as he predicted, they fell away to 9th, being predicted by most of us to be around the 10th mark.

TeeKray made the bold prediction of WC for the 8, though they lost the spoon on percentage.

RossFC went for Collingwood for the spoon

No one picked North for B2B spoons.

No one picked Charlie Curnow to win the Coleman, Patrick Cripps for the Brownlow

No one picked the Rozee rise, B&F or AA.

I predicted Orazio would play 4 games for the year, I overestimated.

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?

Hot take - you should always pick a Victorian team to win the premiership because 14 of the last 16 premierships is an impossible trend to ignore.

If Brisbane or Sydney win, the AFL will pretend it's a Fitzroy or South Melbourne Bloods flag.
 
We aren't the top 4 or top 8 contender i thought we would be but we will finish above the crows, not sure what anyone sees in them. They still seem bottom 4 for me on paper.

If there were no insane people in the world there'd be no psychiatric wards and therefore many health professionals would be without a job, so you could say you're just doing your bit for the economy. Good on you.

Starting to worry that we will finish lower than crows only because I think we could be bottom 4. The crows are no threat.

They generally start the season well and fizzle out.

Not that it matters when both teams won’t make the 8.

Not sure what was the outlandish part of what I said?

Positive story line - 1) Hinkley and Davies both gone. 2) Scully looks the real deal kicking 35 goals at SANFL level
Negative story line - 1) Georgiades and Bergman want home. 2) Hinkley’s replacement comes from within our current coaching group
