Tarryn Thomas wins his first Syd Barker in 2022.
 
JB will come full circle and absolutely praise everything little thing we do on the field when commentating our games whilst at the same time not talking the opposition up as if they were the Hawks of 2014.

Xi admits Covid was accidentally leaked from a lab and offers to pay billions in restitution

Biden admits the election was stolen. Hands himself in to authorities before testifying against senior Democrat Party officials in exchange for a fluffy pillow in his cell. Trump is reinstated. CNN ratings improve

Kim Jong-un undergoes counselling and resolves to be a nicer, kinder dictator. Beats his swords into ploughshares and puts out a very successful TED Talk about finding inner peace.

North Melbourne are patchy in the first half of the season before things suddenly click and they win the last 10 games in a row. They beat Essendon in a Prelim by 195 points before being declared Premiers after their opponent, Melbourne, forfeits due to a Covid scare.
 
Absolutely NO "expert" tips what happens EVERY year - that a Preliminary Finalist misses the finals, that a Finalist finishes bottom 6, that a bottom 6 makes the finals, that a non-finalist plays in a Preliminary Final.

So, place your big call here -
Preliminary Finalist (Melb, WB, PA, Geel) misses the finals - for me, Geelong
Finalist (Melb, WB, PA, Geel, GWS, BL, Syd, *) finishes bottom 6 - GWS
A bottom 6 makes the finals (Carl, Haw, GC, Adel, Coll, NM) - Carlton
Non-finalist (StK, WC, Rich, Carl, Haw, GC, Adel, Coll, NM) plays in a Preliminary Final - Richmond

Bet your life every prediction has the 2022 ladder some variation of the 2021 ladder - no one going more than 3 or 4 spots up or down the ladder. "Experts" need to grow some jacobs and put what is most likely out there. For me,

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

Individual awards...
Brownlow - usually someone who plays for a good side and has been around a while and 'earned' it - Bontempelli. If not, Petracca
Coleman - harder to pick given 60 goals is usually enough. Need a team without many other forward options...so Harry McKay again with an underwhelming number.
Rising Star - Jason Horne-Francis. The nonsense about Daicos playing more midfield minutes is idiotic. JHF to play at least one game somewhere where he get 25+ touches, and/or at least one game with 3 goals is inevitable.

Big calls, not Q calls.
