2024 Ladder Predictions

[NetworkNerd]

Likely first week finals?
Syd v Geelong
Port v GWS
Brisbane v Carlton
Hawks v Dogs

Difficult to tell.
2nd and 3rd play finals contenders away from home
How much of a percentage boost can your mob get.
Who will have a better percentage out of Carlton/Hawthorn

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

1. Sydney
2. Port Adelaide
3. GWS
4. Geelong
5. Brisbane Lions
6. Western Bulldogs
7. Hawthorn
8. Carlton

Qualifying Finals:

• Sydney (1st) vs Geelong (4th) - SCG
• Port Adelaide (2nd) vs GWS (3rd) - Adelaide Oval

Elimination Finals:

• Brisbane Lions (5th) vs Carlton (8th) - Gabba
• Western Bulldogs (6th) vs Hawthorn (7th) - MCG

 

[Big Sauce 21]

I have Giants winning over the dogs. Freo beating Port.

 

[Saints4ever]

Blues aren’t beating the saints next week.
Can’t believe how many are fooled because they beat a pathetic eagles.

Bulldogs should be at Marvel, our home game not Hawthorn, if it turns out that way

I don't disagree, but I don't see a scenario where it wouldn't be played at the MCG.

Would be funny if North beat Hawks in the last rd

If Dogs beat GWS and Port are cemented in top 2 they may rest everyone v Freo in Perth late Sunday.

Which could impact Freo and the teams fighting for the 8 around them

The only Victorian team in the top 8 in 2024 will be Collingwood

I could end up with 7/8 here, which is better than most of you (Geelong are interstate, Tasmanian Hawks

 

[NetworkNerd]

Would a Geelong v GWS final be offered to the Cats at GMHBA? Given they have lost the last 4 there v the Giants, I almost think the cats would say no

 

[Cuzz09]

Think GWS would obviously want to win this week but a loss won't be the end of the world because it could mean they get a "sort of" home final v Syd at SCG

Think GWS would rather play v Syd than travel to Adel or Geelong

gotta learn how to play the G unfortunately.

 

[imagifED]

1) GWS
2) Sydney
3) Port Adelaide
4) Collingwood
5) Carlton
6) Geelong
7) Essendon
8) Brisbane
9) Adelaide
10) Gold Coast
11) Melbourne
12) St Kilda
13) Fremantle
14) Western Bulldogs
15) Hawthorn
16) Richmond
17) North Melbourne
18) West Coast

So so hard where I had Melbourne 2nd then slid them to 11th. Imagine the top 14 have making finals as a realistic pass mark so 6 teams will have a failed season.

Not too bad.
GWS, Sydney and Port. ticks
Geelong in the 8. tick
Brisbane to slide a bit. tick
Essendon to be among the 8 if not for the collapse. tick
Gold Coast, Melbourne and St Kilda. ticks
Got Hawthorn and Bulldogs wrong. Thought Bulldogs would be the big slider and didn't have enough courage to put a grand finalist outside the 8.

I thought of a scenario yesterday. Suppose Bulldogs smash GWS and Port have 100 point buffer. Geelong on Sunday then win by a small margin, or lose.

Could Port potentially claim a number of those players had flu like symptoms and fly replacements in. It's a crazy scenario and I would imagine it would piss a lot of people off. I think Ross did this with Freo a while back and rested 13 players.

 

[imagifED]

Prediction: Port will definitely play in the GF against either GWS or Brisbane leaning GWS. Port to win it all.

 

[hawkman]

I don't disagree, but I don't see a scenario where it wouldn't be played at the MCG.

Contract is that if there is only 1 Victorian final it has to be at the MCG

 

[imagifED]

Have a feeling 2024 will be dominated by non-vic/melb teams.

Doubt it, They're level % is important

 

[Cuzz09]

Hope we do well but if not... a couple of things:

1. Ess days without a finals win to continue.
2. Gold Coast to not make finals... again

Looks like Hardwicks new toys were from the Salvos. GC need to merge with Tassie enough is enough.

 

[Cuzz09]

North to finish above both Perth teams.

Hawks are my Smokey to push for the 8

Not bad

Even without any kind of contract like that it would be at the MCG. We had to play the Crows at the MCG in 2015 as a home final to maximise crowds, we'd definitely play a Victorian side there as well.

 

[emuboy]

I think there will be an 11th hour change at the bottom of the ladder in the final round. With the Gold Coast looking to have already 'clocked out' a comfortable win by Richmond over the Gold Coast at the MCG coupled with a crushing win by Hawthorn over North Melbourne will lift the Tigers from the bottom of the ladder and consign the Kangaroos to the 2024 wooden spoon.

 

[Cuzz09]

would be funny if Hawthorn made this big run to September only to stumble v north in the last rd
