Prediction 2023 Ladder Prediction Thread

[Lsta062]

And Richmond 7th, St Kilda 11th and Essendon 12th, some predictor

Firstly, it’s Richmond at 8th. Secondly, that can still happen. There is an extra game this year, so we can win enough games after the bye to finish 8th

 

[HirdsTheWord]

Saints have played ess, pies, blues and dogs (werent travelling well at the time) and port tonight from the 1st 7 rounds.

So thats 2nd, 4th, 8th and 7th after tonight.

No sure that counts as nobody - if it did id say then that applies to every club in the comp.

They do have an easy draw this year with double Ups against GC, Nth and Hawks. They are yet to play WCE or GWS.

Of that list of 8 games they have played GC once so IF form continues you'd have to expect them to win all of those games, that puts them in 13 win range

Top 4 is a real possibility if they dont drop off significantly - big IF i know.

Nah I think you will drop off significantly soon.

Don’t see you top 4 at all. Way too many injuries.

I dont think we are a top 4 team either.. just think the fixture may allow for that if form holds.

Top 8

Pies
Cats
Lions
Demons
Port
Doggies
Saints
Bombers

Blues 9th.

What Scenario Do You Think Will Happen
1:Adelaide Play Finals
2:Adelaide Miss Finals
3ort Play Finals
4ort Miss Finals
5:Both SA Teams Play Finals
6:Both SA Teams Miss Finals

Adelaide play finals and Port miss barely

 

[MickG88]

Don’t see you top 4 at all. Way too many injuries.

I need you to explain to me why we have too many injuries and how that will stop us being in the top 4?? How that is any different to say a Collingwood or Carlton??

Ok maybe Tigers won't make the 8

Can't see it happening from here. I know they will get a few handy players back, but it's hard to see them getting out of the bottom 6.

 

[Cuzz09]

Brisbane
Collingwood
Geelong
Melbourne

Maybe Port

Only teams that can realistically be Premiers?

*Might have to admit I had Carlton a lot higher. Still think Blues make 8

Pies
Port
Dees
Geelong
Lions
Dogs
Saints

8th between: Carlton/Crows/Essendon/Sydney
Most likely Carlton.

[ep2018]

1. Collingwood - best team so far nothing more to be said.
2. Port Adelaide - not the second best team but they have a knack of finishing top 2 in recent finals bound years
3. Brisbane - near impossible to beat at home and will pinch enough away wins to finish top 4
4. Geelong - poor start may cost them top 2 and are still a very good team
5. Melbourne- good team but a little too flaky for mine so they just miss top 4
6. Saints - good defensive team but will be beaten by the better teams as the season goes on
7. Fremantle - have either them or Sydney to get their shit together soon
8. Bulldogs - will pinch wins against good teams but will have inexplicable losses to poor teams

1. Collingwood - haven't played 6 of the bottom 7 yet still on top. Clearly the best side in it right now.
2. Brisbane - never looked better under Fagan imo. Convinced they can go all the way.
3. Geelong - keep on rolling. Can't see them winning less than 15 games.
4. Port Adelaide - I think their young midfield can only get better. Only played one bad game in round 2.
5. Melbourne - gonna be one or two really good teams to miss the top four this year. Gut says the Dees could drop off and miss by a game or %.
6. St Kilda - really tough run into the finals could sour their top four hopes. Need to capitalise on their friendly run coming up after this week.
7. Adelaide - couple of stiff losses against quality opposition doesn't have me concerned. Young team will get better.
8. Sydney Swans - could win their next three and change their season. Not a true contender though.

9. Western Bulldogs - hope they don't play finals if they are only going to make up the numbers. 5-3 is a good record but I don't think they're playing well.
10. Essendon - sucks to play four top 5 sides on the trot. Still playing really good footy and could play finals. Gut says they won't last 22 games.
11. Carlton - they just don't play like a finals team.
12. Gold Coast - they're alive and playing good footy. Could have beaten Melbourne. Hope they keep their heads up and make a run at finals.
13. Richmond - think they get on a mini roll at some stage. Not contending for finals though.
14. GWS Giants - neither here nor there. Very tough month coming up will ruin any finals aspirations.
15. Fremantle - can't compete with good teams. Look mostly clueless out there. Really bad year and they don't have a first round pick
16. Hawthorn - will click a few wins over as a young side improves their cohesion.
17. North Melbourne - wheels are off. Maybe they can improve late in the year but looks doubtful.
18. West Coast - don't see their fortunes changing. They're really bad.

Pretty spot on tbh, 7th to 11th is going to be an interesting finish to the season, Id probably only move dogs up. Should win 4 of there last 5 matches.

 

[BrainOfMorbius]

I'm not seeing what some of you are seeing in Port. I'd be very surprised if they made the top 4. 5th/6th, sure.

Gotten through a hard part of their draw intact. Though they have a very hard one.

 

[Viceregal]

Yeah not looking forward to playing them up there in a few weeks [emoji51]

If it is any consolation to you we are looking forward to having you come and visit! In fact we a bit sad that we are not able to return the favour and go around again at your place

 

[Mr Meow]

6th is exactly where I have them. Should edge some of the others in the scrap heap for finals. They'll need to dig out some big results to crack top 4.

 

[timokane]

My top 8 after round 8 is:

1. collingwood ( they just keep getting the job done plus reinforcements to come a good problem to have)
2. melbourne (still think they are in their prime want to make amend for 2022)
3. geelong ( still old but still good they keep rolling along and on and on etc......)
4. port ( i think they will rise toward the end of the season and time its run got some exciting kids)
5. lions ( same boat as port but i feel a tad drop off at the end and like rest on their laurels with its gabba games can be 4th imho)
6. saints (finally be rewarded for a good season may get found out as the season wears on still a good team might drop a few spots)
7. dogs ( token finals appreance good team the dogs they dont normally miss finals so they are more blue chip then people think)
8. crows ( they have more upside then carlton and essendon and have beaten both i feel crows to sneak in there just on the right track for once)

 

[timokane]

If Collingwood arent in the gf ill tip a geelong v brisbane gf
think pies and dees to make prelims

 

[bird_man]

Collingwood, Brisbane, Geelong and Melbourne the best 4 teams in the comp. I reckon there's a gap after that.

Port, Saints, Dogs and Swans to make up the numbers.

 

[Cuzz09]

Saints looking shaky now.

Tigers climbing

Blues and Swans disappointing

SA teams looking decent position

Saints have six wins already and have games against eagles,kangas,hawks,giants,swans and suns all winnable.and two against rcihmond.i think they make it.
Esseendon play richmond this week.Win that and they have eaglse twice and Kangas twice plus giants,carlton and swans.Still a strong chance.
Richmond have a harder draw.PlayEessendon,Giants,Eagles.Hawks and Kangas that are all winnable.The tuff games are Port Adelaide twice,Saints twice,Lions,Demons,Bulldogs and the Dockers.are there enough winnable games in that lot.
