Do I have to do all the other stuff Ulahoopski?

Up to you - just a bit of fun.
I'll probably do 3 sets of results end of season: Ladder; Awards; and Combination.

Your avatar perhaps, they seem closest?

A few quick observations:

Everybody pretty much got mark of the year correct, Jeremy Howe.
If any other result is rumoured that's just plain cheating

Nobody rated Richmond at all.

It's a lot of fun looking back and seeing how we thought the land was lying, and the land lied to us

Mark of the Year: Jermery Howe

I was Robbed I tell you

After much frustration, couch-thumping and swearing trying to negotiate Excel functions to make things easier in the long term, the ladder prediction scores are finally tabulated.
I present them here in Table form and give congrats to those on the podium MagpieBat robertg22 and especially to our winner, Bad Horse who, apart from Richmond, the Bulldogs, and Port Adelaide, managed to place every team within 4 spots of their finishing positions.
Richmond, unsurprisingly, had the most poorly predicted finishing position with only our wooden spooner ppoiter predicting they'd make the finals (8th)!
More stats to come when my eyes adjust to real light again.
Thanks to all who had a go.

Great work.

That Bad Horse is really a bad horse (whilst ofcourse I'm a saintly horse )

Just love it that our "wooden spoon" ppoiter was the only one with Richmond in the Ball park.

Great work all.

Whilst I'd love to bask in the glory getting this right, the credit is really due to random number generator, upon which I base all my predictions and opinions

Cheers SV, as painful as it was at times, I've actually learnt a lot about spreadsheets from the time I've spent with this and more so with the BF Song Contest. Could be a new career path.

Amazing coincidence that it was most accurate about Richmond and least accurate overall. Wouldn't be using it at the TAB.

So Richmond generated all 9s ?
