The Race for 9th 2018. The greatest achievement of the season

[crazywildhorse]

In a year of genuine mediocrity, the race for the most mediocre spot on the ladder is wide open. Any one of Geelong, Hawthorn, GWS, Melbourne, Norf or Adelaide are a solid chance of picking it up. In fact, Essendon are a sneaky to add to that list.

Geelong have been underwhelming till now, with their trinity lacking the backup around the ground.

Hawthorn are pretty middle rung this year and 9th would be a fair assessment of where we're at.

GWS have been genuinely disappointing, a few extra injuries is somewhat of an excuse.

It suits Norf's corporate image.

Melbourne have an air about them that suggests they could become 9thbourne.

Adelaide, worst culture in league football, have well and truly spudded up 2018. In a way, 9th would be a fitting end to their campaign.

Essendon, whatever.

The Catters being the new Ninethmond will be hilarious with all of the pot shots the Catters have taken since last years QF

 

[beema limapep]

Cats could slide even further

 

[NetworkNerd]

If Geelong got 9th with that list of superstars then questions would have to be asked of Chris Scott. Already grumbles on the Geelong bf forum

Where's the Ninth-mond option?

Thread lacking.

 

[The Dice Man]

Oh wait we are premiers and top of the ladder a game clear and percentage to make you all weep.

Carry on minnows.

Oh I forgot the 98,000 members!!!

Don’t be surprised if Sydney drop to below 9th come season’s end.

However, now that I’ve said this they’ll probably come out and smash us on Sunday now

 

[FISTO]

We've taken poll position.

Just another victory for this mighty Juggernaut of a club tbh.

There have been grumbles on the Handbagger board for 3 years.

Hence the “Chris Scott’s Coaching” thread is now episode 111

Just goes to illustrate how mediocre the whole league is now. The fact a ninth quality team still on top is pretty damning.

 

[MAXIMUM GRUNDAGE]

We got this.

 

[RedVest4]

If we are talking Toots...

I’ve obviously got it wrapped up.

/thread.

 

[crazywildhorse]

We got this.

Very stiff competition though. You may accidentally wind up in the top 8

 

[Tiger2709]

Cats supporters are always wishing they were Richmond, this is the first step.

 

[Tiger2709]

We got this.

Nah the dees will f@ck it up and make the 8, all those ninthmelbourne posters will go to waste.

 

[harry000]

I predict round 23 will a battle for 8th and 9th between us and GWS

 

[Good_Old]

Don't count out Collingwood only winning 2 more games and missing the 8 on percentage.

Ha, righto. Funny because they'd be the last club you'd hope to emulate as a Geelong supporter.

 

[crazywildhorse]

With a quarter to go, we’re putting in one of our better efforts again

 

[frggr]

Hrm, don't think the Hawks are good enough for 9th. Think I'll vote for Melbourne.

Understandable, what with Geelongs small country club mentality and lack of success over the years.
