[tugga]

Ladder after home and away:
Cats
Blues
Lions
Hawks
Freo
Pies
GWS
Crom

Swans (new coach, new style)
Pear (succession plan issues, prob my biggest conundrum)
Dogs (offield issues)
Dons
Suns (need to convince me)
Dees
Saints (tempted to put higher)
North (see above)
WCE
Tiges

 

[GreyCrow]

I admire your confidence but I am down grading Carlton for now - and that could be to my detriment

Could go 1-3 so downgrading them could be spot on

By handballing too much they gave Richmond opportunity to jump onto a mistake added with less ground to make up on the rebound

Bad coaching tonight

You might wanna rethink that ladder mate

 

[LuckyBounce!]

18th Carlton

 

[matey]

18th Carlton

That would be great as the Hawks have their 1st!

 

[Mr.X]

Blues will be bottom 6 if they keep putting out the rubbish they dished up in rnd 1

 

[Gavin Excell]

Swans Blues and Port finalists from.last season all look questionable early on

 

[tiger_tough]

The top 8 is looking pretty settled IMO.

 

[Toffee Lion]

The top 8 is looking pretty settled IMO.

Brisbane to miss finals like Collingwood last year.

Rats.

Blues will be bottom 6 if they keep putting out the rubbish they dished up in rnd 1

Carlton lost to a team many thought wouldn't win a game this year.

If they 'keep putting out the rubbish they dished up in round 1', they'll be Bottom 1.

 

[MadMundy]

18. West Coast

Easy choice really.

 

[GreyCrow]

Why would Walsh or Curnow be proppy until Rd 4?

Thoughts?

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Thoughts?

Yeah fair calls on both accounts

 

[Dtennent94]

1-5
Giants, Lions, Hawks, Pies, Cats

6-7
Swans, Suns

8-14
Dogs, Crows, Power, Bombers, Blues, Dockers, Dees

15-18
Tigers, Eagles, Kangas, Saints

 

[Fadge]

1-5
Giants, Lions, Hawks, Pies, Cats

6-7
Swans, Suns

8-14
Dogs, Crows, Power, Bombers, Blues, Dockers, Dees

15-18
Tigers, Eagles, Kangas, Saints

Good list.

I would add Crows, Dockers and Dees to the second rung and demote Carlton to the 4th rung.

I was trying not to fence-sit too much and make a point of locking in swans and suns to my 8

 

[hawkinoz]

I will have a go

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

This is looking good... all the lols from blues just the icing

Will have to do an update soon, seems like I underestimated the Cats & Lions

17) West Coast
18) Richmond

Predicted we would crash and burn last year when most thought we would play finals even make top 4.
I cannot see how Nicks does not make finals for the first time this year with everything served on a silver platter.

Got sucked into Carlton with their building and AFL fairytale hype. Want to slide them down to 11th/12th and move everyone up a position. Gold Coast to make finals for the first time.

What’s so special about Adelaide this year?

What’s so special about Adelaide this year?

We hired the fly

The Australian version of Ratatouille.

 

[Fadge]

What’s so special about Adelaide this year?

High quality youth a year older - Rankine, Thilthoroe, Rachelle, Soligo - and recruited well in the off season to address a number of shortcomings in their list.

Short odds to be the massive improvers in 2025.

 

[timokane]

1. gws
2. hawks
3. lions
4. pies
5. dogs
6. crows
7. freo
8. cats

 

[Rod Stroker]

I laugh at everyone who had Freo in their top 4. Ordinary team with a bland coach
