2025 Ladder Predictions

[PowerfulPies2023]

And yet people are dead against a wild card round...

I have GWS finishing 9th. There must be severe repercussions for a team of that talent to not even make the top 8. Would be one of the biggest failures in recent memory.

Get lost wild card were not American. If you're not good enough for the 8 bad luck. They've played shit at times anyway the Giants if they deserve to be there they will.

Are the AFL genuinely on crack? North V Dogs this Thursday night to keep the good times rolling on that time slot

Longmire
Archer
Sholl
Schwass
Carey
McAdam

Can't wait.

To celebrate Norths 100th year

To celebrate Norths 100th year

We got a Sunday afternoon game for ours. No need to waste a prime time slot for North

Although the AFL's alternative was probably Essendon so about as bad as each other

Whats the point of a wild card round when the 10th best team is this far back from top 9?

 

[PowerfulPies2023]

Wildcards round is stupid

 

[Handsuper47]

This would be the worst final two months to an AFL season I can remember. An abundance of dud games, including in prime tv slots, eg Friday and Saturday nights.
So many teams already won’t make finals so are starting to phone it in.

wouldn't surprise me if it turns out to be like a 2016 ladder, where the top 7 are just head and shoulders above everyone else

 

[PowerfulPies2023]

Who would have thought seeing as though just 2 points separate 2nd from 6th.

Who are the top 7?

Because GWS at their best are one of the best teams in the comp, and they're currently 9th.

 

[Seattle Mariners]

Whats the point of a wild card round when the 10th best team is this far back from top 9?

So teams 10th to 15th are playing in relevant games for the rest of the year.

It’s absurd that 9 teams are essentially out of the finals hunt by round 16.

 

[ok.crows]

Was that the game Colbert got absolutely shafted not being paid a blatant mark?

Yes it was. The same game that Modra got absolutely shafted not being paid a blatant mark. The same game that Geelong were awarded a goal from a ball that ricocheted off Bickley's boot.

 

[Saints4ever]

Yes it was. The same game that Modra got absolutely shafted not being paid a blatant mark. The same game that Geelong were awarded a goal from a ball that ricocheted off Bickley's boot.

Hopefully there's a rematch so that Geelong can finally dish up some justice for that blatant robbery!

Not absurd at all - this year, teams 10th and below are shit.

Didn't you get that in 2017? Or that doesn't count?

 

[Corn Cobbers]

Who are the top 7?

Because GWS at their best are one of the best teams in the comp, and they're currently 9th.

GWS are top 3 along with Bris and Coll imo, expecting them to go on a tear from here and crash into the top 4

 

[Mr Meow]

Didn't you get that in 2017? Or that doesn't count?

Geelong didn't feature in that finals series, much like Hawthorn didn't play in the 2016 or 2018 finals.

Those teams should have played better then

Geez , if we’re looking to even up robbery ledger between Adelaide and Geelong , then the cats should be eating shit for awhile.

If we had to even up Adelaide choking in second halves against Geelong, that'd take about 10 games.

If Geelong needed to even up for every umpire job at Gumby park, they might never win again

 

[Mr Meow]

If Geelong needed to even up for every umpire job at Gumby park, they might never win again

So no rebuttal on the Crows choking?

"Gumby park" is the wittiest thing you've ever come up with. That's not a compliment.

Remind me again who Adelaide have beaten away from home again? Geelong have Adelaide, Collingwood and Hawthorn on the list of scalps. Adelaide have Richmond, Sydney and Essendon at least.

Adelaide is Geelong’s only away scalp, yet have also lost to St Kilda and Carlton

Wrong. Disposed of Collingwood and Hawthorn at their home MCG fortress. I seem to remember you squealing in protest after one of those games. Thanks for the reminder.

 

[FootyLad0]

Lions have lost to Melbourne and drew with North

Yet I bet you haven’t said anything about them?

Teams have shock losses every year.
Cats lost to Saints in 2022 (Saints are our bogey team at Marvel) when they were missed Finals and then Cats won 16 in a row on the way to a Premiership.

Means absolutely diddly ****ing squat.
Quote what the Cats record against other top 8 teams is (hint it’s better than anyone else’s)

That’s what matters.
