The Bailey Ladder Predictor: Where do you have us finishing?

[Egga]

The Bailey Ladder Predictor enables you to predict results from the remainder of the season and produces a ladder after round 23 and a finals fixture.

I've just had a go and see us finishing 7th and playing Essington in the first week of the finals (who finish ahead of us on percentage). This is based on us losing one game (to Collingwood). If we lose two games, the predictor has us finishing 8th. Any more than this and we miss out.

1. Sydney

3. Hawthorn
4. Collingwood
5. West Coast
6. North Melbourne
7. St Kilda

I have us winning all remaining games except the Collingwood game.

 

[Old Skool]

14 wins and 6th.

We draw Geelong in the elimination final. (win)

Adelaide in the semi. (win)

Hawthorn in the prelim. (au revoir 2012)

It would be amazing just to make it to the Semi's or a Prelim.

[Swallow9]

Love to play essendon first week of the finals

 

[muttley45]

[roonskins]

Be great if we win the big dance ,then again stranger things have happend .We all remember 1998 .

 

[Old Skool]

Love to play essendon first week of the finals

We'll put them out in round 20.

They won't recover.

 

[Uncle_Leo]

I have us finishing 8th and playing the Eagles in the first week over there.

Umpires will take care of that match.

 

[soyouthink10]

7thhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

 

[Lileasy]

6th vs Geelong (loss)

Sorry guys, I am a pessimist

 

[benno87]

6th.

 

[Jay-Z]

6th or 7th (matter of percentage) and most likely playing Geelong in the first final (damn). Would love to play the bombers and hopefully get a finals victory

 

[Rod Stroker]

14 wins and 6th.

We draw Geelong in the elimination final. (win)

Adelaide in the semi. (win)

Hawthorn in the prelim. (au revoir 2012)

LOL! The Adelaide game would be over there and we haven't beaten them over there in yonks. We couldn't even beat Port there this year.

 

[Old Skool]

Adelaide are the most over-hyped side in the competition.

They couldn't even beat an injury riddled Geelong.

 

[Rod Stroker]

Adelaide weren't exactly at full strength either yesterday, missing Jacobs and Tippett among others.

The industry would see us rank outsiders to beat them over there in a final.

 

[BoomerRoo]

1. Sydney
2. Adelaide
3. Hawthorn
4. Collingwood
5. West Coast
6. North Melbourne
7. St Kilda
8. Essendon

I have us winning all remaining games except the Collingwood game.

Same

Our record intersate is pretty terrible. And AAMI is a very hard ground for visiting sides to win at.
I can't stand Adelaide but looking at it objectively and if you had to put your house on the result (which would remove any bias) you'd be picking Adelaide every time.
The only interstate side I wouldn't care about playing is Sydney. Because their 'home ground' advantage would basically be non-existent as their finals are played at a ground they barely play at and not the very difficult to negotiate ground that suits our game style less than any other SCG. Would be close to a neutral game.

Playing West Coast in Round 1 (if we make it) is my worst case scenario in the finals. Hopefully they do the right thing by us and beat Freo and Geelong over the next two weeks which will also go a long way to ensuring they don't finish 5th.

Geelong would beat most sides at SS. Even with a couple out and even if they're a fading force (but they're certainly not done yet).
Adelaide's effort was pretty good, all things considered.

 

[apollo_creed]

Best case scenario for us is
1. a week 1 final in Melbourne - obviously finishing 6th and Freo 7th would be perfect but very unlikely. so really I'd take any final in Melbourne.
2. a week 2 final either v Sydney at Stadium Australia or against Collingwood. (could only be Collingwood or Hawthorn - Melbourne clubs losing first round who made top 4)

But I'd just be happy to make the finals as things stand and a first round exit or not it would be a step forward for the club.

 

[Benno_900]

I have us 7th. I'd be disappointed if we finish lower than that tbh. Missing the eight altogether would be unforgivable from here.

Playing Geelong in finals. Wouldn't mind that - we sparked their dynasty with that early win in 2007, let's end it.

 

[RoyalBlue]

DId it last Monday and got us into 6th if we beat Essendon, and 8th if we lose to Essendon.

Basically, win everything we should win - lose to Pies - and then it's up to the game V Essendon as to where we wind up.

ATM, it looks like the Freo game is tougher than Essendon.
