Prediction How many wins in 2019 H&A and what ladder position at the end of it?

[ep2018]

Actually knowing us we'll beat Richmond but lose to Carlton. like how last year we beat Port away but lost to Melbourne at home.

 

[ioppolo]

Geez I thought we were. Why the fu** has Crooked Gillian sent us to a s**thole woop woop ground exactly?

Melbourne have a home game there once a year, and of course a non-victorian team is the opponent

 

[ioppolo]

16-6 sitting behind Richmond and Collingwood in 4th losing only the Richmond game.

Pies will lose to Richmond and Richmond will go undefeated during their seven game MCG run.

If we lose another game we will finish 5th behind Brisbane on percentage.

You don't reckon Brisbane will fall away? Young inexperienced team

Positive: its less travel than flying to Melbourne.
Negative: its basically a suburban ground, can sometimes get humid there too.

I have them losing two more games from here. Port tomorrow in Adelaide, and Richmond at the MCG in the last round. They could possibly lose to Geelong at the GABBA too in the second last round however Geelong look to have top 2 sewn up by then so the cats will probably play conservative to try and prevent injury before finals.

Humid, in the middle of the desert? Doubt it. Alice can get chilly in winter too.

The average humidity in Alice Springs in July is 32%. Today's humidity there is almost 60%. The humidity is what stuffed us against Brisbane in round 1.

60% isn't really bad given the temps. Nothing like Brissie in April or late March. It seldom gets really humid in Alice, especially in winter. Won't factor at all.

I hope you're right

 

[PerthBoy86]

I hope you're right

Yeah I think the lack of a real crowd will factor more lol. And a general unfamiliarity with the ground. A real danger game we must win.

 

[kempy]

Sunny and 27C is the current forecast for next Saturday in Alice. NW winds around 15kms.

Humidity not going to be an issue

Edit. Hmm game is on Sunday.

 

[ioppolo]

Very sunny week by the looks. No weather excuses then

 

[Cuzz09]

We should be winning 6 of those if we're serious.

We will be playing teams beneath us on the ladder from now on.

We should win all.

See how we go folks

Go Eagles

Reckon there’ll be a few upsets in there (hopefully not to us), but if there’s one thing I’ve learnt this season is that it’s never as straight forward as it seems. Anyway, 6 from 6 gets us top 2.. that should be what we’re aiming for straight up.

 

[DINEnDASH]

Really hard to predict where we’ll finish. I think definitely top 4 though. I’ll be disappointed if we finish lower. After losing to the Pies, I don’t feel that confident about our remaining games.

If we finish 4th, we’ll have to face the Cats and most likely at the G. Finish 3rd and we’ll be facing the Pies at the G. Would rather face Cats than Pies. Cats have had a pretty poor finals record in recent times.

We will be playing them at skilled not the G. I would rather the G than go down there to play the cats.

 

[WCE Wizard]

We just need to hit the next 6 weeks at full tilt. Lock up top two, if we are good enough we can beat all those teams

 

[MIKE85]

Hoping this loss was a bit of a wake up call, and the kick up the bum they needed. Maybe a good time to have a loss like that, that’ll sting cause it was so close. Reckon this week becomes season defining. Should be winning all of our games except this one and Richmond away, so we need to win one of those 2.

 

[TheGhostOfJohnBelushi]

Everyone forgets it's a marathon, not a sprint. I see the main board is now proclaiming the Lions as the next Bulldogs/Richmond dream September team. It's a loooong time until we even reach finals.

We're equal 2nd right now. A game or two and our % may even get ahead of Pies/Brisbane, let alone we may get ahead on wins anyway. If not, just focus on the next game and what we need to do. The team knows what it needs to do, and they'll be preparing for the run home accordingly.

Sucks to drop an important game in mid-July by a friggin' point, but it's better than a blow out, it's better than it happening to knock us down a peg in round 23, it's better than it happening in a final.

By all rights, our last six games should see us go about 5-1. It's never that simple, though, but that should be our aim. Better it and we'd have to basically win 9 games straight for a flag, which doesn't seem like us, so I reckon we will drop the Richmond game, which hopefully means we go 4 wins, loss, 4 wins.

 

[Mick63]

In terms of our run home - I can see us dropping a game that we go in as favourites. It always seems to happen in seasons that we are up and about;

Hopefully last Friday was that game...

 

[Gaffy Duck]

Hopefully last Friday was that game...

 

[WCE_phil]

I picked us as second (can screenshot if people can't see) and I still have us finishing 16-6 and second.

3-5th is all decided on % by brisbane, collingwood and richmond.

 

[Candiru]

Having done the ladder predictor many times, if we finish 5-1 (losing to Richmond) we should hang onto 2nd spot on percentage.

However, if we drop an extra game, we could very well drop out of the top four altogether.

 

[Candiru]

Hoping the Swans do us a favour by upsetting Geelong.

I wonder if we will live to regret the Collingwood game.

Out of form, had them on toast, took the foot off the throat, woke up too late.
