Discussion 2026 Ladder Predictions

[gringo2011]

The Andrew formerly known as Prince and Peter Mandelson both mired in scandal, but will there be legal consequences? The whole thing is disgusting and depraved. There needs to be full transparency concerning everybody mixed up in it.

So there are ten finals spots from this year? I wasn't aware.

Starmer looks like he might get taken down in its wave too. With Farrage getting caught up in the EF and with Bannon, maybe Zac Polanski might actually do a Steve Bradbury. You'll get your socialist government by accident.

I don't think Freo or the Dogs will finish that high. Their limiting factor is their coach and neither team has changed much in that area so I don't expect either team to improve this year.

 

[The Punter]

The more I think about it, the more I conclude there is only one team without a significant potential flaw going into the season.

That team is the Gold Coast Suns.

Their list looks primed for sure.

Freo being a young side should have a fair bit of internal growth still. I can see them stepping up a bit but just as easily dropping off.

Rowell.

I’d be staggered.
Hoping for 6th.

We're all playing catch up to the QLD teams - as the AFL wants it. A team probably needs to beat both of them to win the flag as I expect they will finish top two and host both prelims.

 

[gringo2011]

I did the ladder predictor a couple of times. Optimistically we can get top 6 even top 4 but would need to win most matches that are genuinely 50/50 and probably a few that 60/40 the opposition's way. Lose a few we should still drag ourselves into the 10 as long as we keep it together.

You would certainly hope we could at least make the top 10!

 

[Sully111]

F*ck it... top 4... let's gooooooo

It's gonna be so sweet when we knock them both off to win the flag.

 

[Remboy]

My ladder prediction:
1 Saints
2 .......
I usually lose interest at this point.

 

[onepoint]

Would like to say in the 8 but path to goal a bit wonky at the same level as ,pies,gws &swans so a fight for 8/ 9th

 

[Tyrian Lonestar]

Saints to finish 6th or higher.
None of this wild card round cr@p please

I found a bug. Sorry. Predictions update in the app!

Have you changed this opinion, or do you still see them as flawless?

 

[The Punter]

Not going to react too much to preseason games. Rowell injury hurts them, but that could happen to any team.

Happy to be wrong though, I don't really have any desire to see them do well.
