Ladder Predictor with a difference

[waspy]

Every year we have a go at where clubs will finish the next year, but everybody is so far off the mark that it's almost not worth doing. Instead, we should all put up a ladder prediction, but you are allowed to give a 6 position window for each team.

Here's mine:
Adelaide 3rd-8th
Brisbane 6th-11th
Carlton 11th-16th
Collingwood 10th-15th
Essendon 7th-12th
Fremantle 4th-9th
Geelong 1st-6th
Hawthorn 11th-16th
Kangaroos 8th-13th
Melbourne 5th-10th
Port Adelaide 8th-13th
Richmond 10th-15th
St Kilda 1st-6th
Sydney 3rd-8th
West Coast 1st-6th
Western Bulldogs 2nd-7th

You expect Sydney to have a fall of Port proportions - but don't expect the Saints or the Eagles to fall? Interesting as Sydney had a lot of young players really step up at the end of the season - and only one Premiership player has left (and has been replaced). If the Swans weren't in the Top 4 in 2006 it would be disappointing.

I expect them to finish around 4th but don't think they will finish top 2, much the same as 2005. They will probably be in the hunt come finals time.

I think you need to re-do yours. Carlton and Hawthorn can't take up all the bottom 4 spots.

They can't be that lucky 2 years in a row.

 

[Bloods Rule!]

They can't be that lucky 2 years in a row.

Confusing determination - and never giving up - with luck has long been a Saints problem.

The last quarter of the PF wasn't luck but I was lucky to have watched it.

Adelaide 4th-8th
Brisbane 8th-12th
Carlton 16th
Collingwood 13-16th

Melbourne 5-9th
Port Adelaide 9-12th
Richmond 9th!
St Kilda top 6
Sydney 3-8th
West Coast 2-5th
Western Bulldogs 3-7th

 

[Schneiderman]

They can't be that lucky 2 years in a row.

I can already see GT replacing Thursday training sessions with specially modified "Luck Dances". Based loosely on the American Indian's "Rain Dance" there is a 70% chance it will increase your "Luck" on Game Day. As long as all the players participate with 100% enthusiasm.

 

[m.diddy]

How about some non-gutless predictions. Make the range smaller.

Gee, you're smart!! How long did it take you to work that out?

 

[Forzaport]

You people seriously need to rethink your port adelaide predictions. In 2006 port will finish no lower than 8th and you can bookmark this if you want.

 

[The Hobo]

at the end of round 22

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


I think West Coast or Adelaide will win the flag


Bookmark this, it will be right

 

[fishbowl]

Essendon 16th

Ok, but why? Serious question.

 

[Philhawk]

About as long as it takes for you to tie your shoes - you decide

 

[D_One]

I don't know about the other 15 clubs but I'm willing to bet that Richmond finish 9th. I will even go as far to say that if the AFL introduced a final 16 Richmond would somehow find a way to come 17th.

As Deck has pointed out, nobody seems to look like finishing near the bottom of the table.

So far, we have 4 "real" predictions. Of those four, only Waspy has put forward a ladder with any hope of coming true.

Johnson#26 & Firrito24 have only 2 teams capable of finishing below 12th, and ThommoRoo23 is only marginally better with 3.

Someone has to finish down the bottom of the ladder - who will it be?

Best and most sensible response so far. phil hawk will be proven correct with his ladder predictor.
