I did something that suprised me today. I was playing around with the Bailey Ladder Predicter on the AFL site

http://www.afl.com.au/bailey ladder predictor/tabid/13046/default.aspx

My dad is real one eyed tiger. He things we are going to make the finals every year. Well thats what he predicts anyway. He told me Saturday night...(before the swans game) that not only would we beat the swans but that victory will get us into the finals. I told him to calm down a bit. But to my suprise its actually possible. Now before you say it, i dont actally think we will make finals this year and i actually couldnt care less. Im looking for 2011 and onwards. But just for shit and giigles. Do the predictor yourself.

Here is how i rated us alone
15 vs Freo at Etihad ...WIN
16 vs North at the G ...WIN
17 vs Pies at the G ...LOSS
18 vs Crows at the G ...WIN
19 vs Melb at the G ...WIN
20 Vs Blues at the G ...WIN
21 vs saints at Etihad ...LOSS
22 vs Power at Etihad ...WIN

Using that combination and then pick the rest of the games...see what you get ;)

And that is a pretty good run home. Dont leave melb again this season. Currently 4 in top 8 and 4 below. The biggest problem is we dont know how much the kids will tire towards the end of the season. Espically the first year guys. Plus these predicters work if you pick 8 right each week. None of us do that either. But have a play and see what you get. I also picked it and then went back and changed around some of the more 50 / 50 ones. Its certainly going to be a interesting finish

anything is possible :)

i have been toying with the ladder predictor too for awhile, it is possible that we could sneak into the 8 just by winning the games we could possibly win.

5 of those games we are a good chance if not favoured. Freo will be shaken without their best midfielder ... StKilda will be resting players around the time they next play us and Collingwood too should have top 4 locked in and may be resting players.

...... have you carried through the rest of that predictor too? ...

I have us playing Collingwood in the Grand Final :D:D:D:D

going on the wins i had in i finished between 9th and 8th aswell....sydney would have to lose a couple they probally shouldnt for us to get in....and we would have to beat carlton freo and crows...so as i say...its more interesting than realistic. But its great that we are still mathamatically possible after losing the first 9 str8 lol
