Prediction 2023 Ladder Prediction Thread

[gouki88]

Ergo why is collingwood 6th? Brisbane will be top 4. Have only improved their side.

Brisbane finishing below the Dogs is really hard for me to imagine. They have a strong side with Dunkley & Gunston (and Ashcroft)

 

[Borough Blood]

Historically speaking, teams who get thumped in a grand final often have a poor season the next year. You can absolutely make a GF ahead of time (we did in 2015 for example) and then s**t the bed the next year (2016).

We made top 4 after 2014. Maybe it was the exception, we'll see.

 

[BringFevBack2021]

I’d rather do a ladder prediction once the fixture comes out, but one thing I will say is: Carlton will not make top 4.

Going out on a limb there! Very bold! Commendable, risk taking individual!

Come on, do a prediction and we can all laugh at eachothers in September next year when every one of us without a doubt ****s up majorly and predicts someone in an outlandish position.

I hope so, but remains to be seen how our forward line functions. If JVR can come in and play a role, and if McDonald is healthy/finds some form, we have a chance.

I’m tipping you for minor premiers and to make the GF against us. Don’t even stress about next year. [emoji106]

I'm pretty much the same as this, especially the Top 6.

I'd argue the fixture will help raffle spots 7-12.

 

[NetworkNerd]

Reckon the 2023 Hawks will give the 1928 Hawks all time worst season a shake.

0 wins and 61.6% will be hard to beat looking at the Hawks list

 

[Joao]

Hawks get up for Mitchell which means all they have to do is catch the odd team not at 100%. Not to mention, they are probably still at least as good as North and maybe West Coast outright.

They won't come last but probably will get belted a few times.

[juss]

Pretty amazing trade period, a number of the teams you already suspected might be contenders have all strongly improved their list.

I think it further separates the best from the rest in 2023.

Pressure for Cats, Demons, Lions, Tigers, Swans, Pies, Port, Blues, Freo and Bulldogs to make finals. It'll be interesting to see who misses out, chances are one will be unlucky through injury and one more will straight up fail to play to expectations. I doubt the three Big4 clubs all make it, wonder when was the last time at least 3 of the 4 were top 8 in a season.

 

[HaroLad]

Hawks or North for the spoon?

2019 - Richmond, Collingwood and Essendon. There's been a few years this century where four have made it, but you have to go all the way back to 1973 when all four of the made it.
