Prediction Ladder predictor

[Bulldog Brent]

I'm hoping as hell Geelong & Hawthorn finish 2 & 3. It means a MCG semi with the loser and I'd back ourselves.

 

[Bulldog Brent]

All the permutations - assuming we win both our remaining matches.

WCE lose 1 of 2 - we finish 6th
WCE win both - we finish 7th

GWS def North - we finish 6th
North def GWS - we finish 5th (assuming we win one more than WCE) and play North. I'd love that!

In any way I'd reckon we're 90% locked into an elimination final v WCE at the MCG. Then we play the loser of 2 v 3 away (could be anyone of Haw Gee Adel Syd).

We should have Macrae, Campbell, Libba, McLean, Adams, Morris all available by week 1-2 of the finals. Such a great season to have the bye between round 23 & week 1 of finals. So glad we play in the final match of the season in round 23. Gives us flexibility with players.

Bring it on!!

Said on Saturday that I'd be cheering for Eagles v Giants to keep our top 4 hopes alive but that now looks a mistake. I mean surely the Eagles can't beat both hawthorn and Adelaide but it now comes down to something out of our control for us to host a home final

Was thinking the same after about 5 minutes into the third quarter of the Saints v Sydney game.

Yeah I think it's pretty much cooked our home final hopes.

Adelaide will beat Eagles on Friday night Rd 23 as they will be playing for a top 2 spot hopefully.

 

[Doggy]

Yeah I think it's pretty much cooked our home final hopes.

Uhhh how?

Even if Wet Toast beat Hawforn, they won't beat adelaide in adelaide which they need to do

 

[gimp!]

I was just having a look at previous ladders... If we win 16 games, will that be our best home and away season ever?
And we'll still finish 6th? That's pretty harsh.

Interesting round 23.Potential of North having a choice of beating GWS to play us.Or losing and playing at spotlight or being replaced by Melbourne.

North don't have any choice. They are s**t and won't beat GWS.

 

[Dogs Rule]

How so?

Fact is the Eagles have to beat Hawthorn and Adelaide at home. Very difficult.

We have to beat Essendon and Freo.

We finish sixth, Eagles finish seventh.

 

[TiAn_]

Or it didn't.

See what happens. It is very possible we could host the only game in Melbourne in the first week of finals

1992 and 1985 we finished with a 16-6 record. In 2010 we finished 14-8 yet still managed fourth.

We just can't catch a break. A 16-6 record would be good enough for top 4 in most years.

Where do we finish if all the favourites win? 6th or 7th? I can't do the predictor on my iPad.

whos the fav between WCE & hawks?

if WCE lose either game against Hawks or Adl then we finish a minimum of 6th

 

[X_box_X]

I reckon North will beat GWS in round 23. If they don't, then they will end up playing each other again two weeks later in the EF.

I have us finishing 5th and playing North. We will therefore play the loser of Geelong v Hawthorn in the SF.

I would expect Hawthorn to win in Perth.

 

[Dogs Rule]

Absolutely. It's Hawthorn people, they just find ways to win.

The annoying thing about west coast beating GWS means that our freo game isn't an automatic dead rubber now, so we won't be able to manage players in terms of selection. Unless the Eagles lose to the crows on the Friday night and we take all our 3 emergencies over to Perth and play them if the game is a dead rubber by then

Two weeks off is a bit long anyway.

 

[House_of_Dahl]

Soooo Pies beat Hawks, and norf beat GWS, and we gain a few % smashing Essendon and Freo... 4th! Haha slim but possible

I know, tell me about it. We can put a man on the moon, and pokemons on our streets, yet we can't do the ladder predictor on our iPads. Does my head in.

Soooo what your saying is it's a chance.

Eagles also need to lose to Crows.
