Nope.

Out of 16.

I had your side as a mid table 7 to 12 team. I think most people had your side in that category.

Are you in that article? You say "I had your side as mid table, I think most did".
Followed by linking an afl article. Naturally, I am talking about people on bigfooty, seeing as that's where we are.
meme all you like, hardly anyone (on bigfooty, seeing as you don't get obvious context) had us anywhere near the 8, out of spite.

Firstly gotta be one of the worst attempts I've seen at twisting numbers to fit a narrative. According to what you've listed 3 had Essendon in the top 8, so 13 had us missing. To see us as a serious contender for it is a pretty good outcome, exceeding most by those stats.

Sad to see people so anti-essendon they will do anything to deny them credit.

Secondly, checking the source: http://www.afl.com.au/news/2017-03-20/crystal-ball-aflcomaus-2017-season-predictions

Not sure where you pulled our numbers from but the above 17 respondents have the average ladder finish as 12.2

At least for this weekend's game at least, North Melbourne are somewhat relevant.

It's there GF and they'll be up for it. And so will their fans, who irrationally hate Essendon more than any other club's fans. It's strange.

People will make up stats for all sorts of thing. Forfty percent of people know that.
