Ladder Observations

[Bombs Away]

Was looking at how we have been travelling this year in comparison to where sides finished last season, generally there is 1 or 2 changes to the 8 every season. Our form (who we are beating) warrants us being there, but very worrying about who we are losing to.

This is last years ladder with sides we have beaten in red, sides lost against in black. Have put in that we should beat Melbourne and the Western Bulldogs but most likely lose to Geelong

1 West Coast
2 Adelaide
3 Fremantle
4 Sydney
5 Collingwood
6 St Kilda
7 Melbourne
8 Western Bulldogs
9 Richmond
10 Geelong
11 Hawthorn
12 Port Adelaide
13 Brisbane
14 Kangaroos
15 Essendon
16 Carlton


A bit of a worry that we are beating last years good sides (with exception of collingwood) and getting beaten by last years lesser performing teams (except brisbane).

I don't think you can look at last years ladder and compare our wins this season against teams that are like us a very different lineup. The losses to Hawthorn, Port and the Kangas who are all thereabouts as finals contenders this year isn't like we lost to strugglers of last season. Carlton was a team we should of pumped but even they are playing alot better footy than their record suggests (except the Hawks game).
