Don’t you dare say that!

I hope for your fanbase that Hinkley is sacked before round 1. Koch too.

At some point people will actually stop trying to make predictions without actually assessing the merits of what they’re saying

You were going well 'til this point mate.

Won’t it?

This year we added a rookie KPD with one match to his name, a twice delisted free agent who hadn’t shown that much in the games he HAD played, a midfielder who had only played a few matches last year and became the highest rated winger in the competition by finals time, and another general defender who had played 33 games in 5 seasons prior to this one.

Seemed to work out alright.

Google non sequitur.

 

[Trav 20]

Yeah not really sure they need to as their 5 club mates who did go AA in 2023 will all still be there.

Never said they had to.

Has it been that long since Carlton has played finals that you've forgotten, or never needed to understand, how the finals system works?!?

Throw in Fyfe 31.

How you think that squad will go backwards is beyond me. Expect another huge step forward next season for Fremantle, despite losing an ok winger and a depth key backman.

Should top 4 next year imo if staying healthy.

I don't expect you to go down but when you say you only lost a depth key backman, he finished sixth in your best and fairest so I think it's fair to say Logue will be a loss.

Dunno about Brisbane
I think their midfield isn't deep enough

Not the be all and end all but the current betting market for 2023 flag is one perspective

$5 Geelong
$6 Sydney
$7 Melbourne
$10 Richmond, Collingwood, Brisbane
$12 Carlton

 

[Ash24]

I love Sydney, but they'll significantly drop off next year.

It happened with the Crows in 2018, GWS in 2020 and would've been the Dogs in 2022 if Carlton didn't choke the unthinkable.

That’s very good odds for Carlton.

Correction we literally fell off in 18 (going from 1st in 2017 to 12th H&A). Idk if the Swans will make the 4 I have them there in my early ladder prediction making the 4 from memory. but they will be playing finals next season. I don't see them significantly dropping which for me would be missing the finals.

 

[footyfan1978]

That’s very good odds for Carlton.

Not good odds for any team listed there imo.
I would not place a bet on any of them.
Bookies taking people for a ride with those options.

Melbourne favourites in my mind but I not sure how much of a favourite in my mind they will be when I fully take into account what the loss of Jackson does to their mix.
Overall it probably as open as it been.
Cats placed nominal favourites simply because they won the most recent premiership which fair enough but stuffed if I would waste my money on such short odds.
I cannot see value in any of those odds in such an even comp.

 

[lewdogs]

That’s very good odds for Carlton.

The odds are to win the premiership, not make the finals.

I don't expect you to go down but when you say you only lost a depth key backman, he finished sixth in your best and fairest so I think it's fair to say Logue will be a loss.

He played forward though. The sixth in the best and fairest was clearly generously voted for because he was filling a role we needed to be filled. With Jackson most likely coming in, Corbett in, and Amiss and Treacey another year older its highly likely Logue doesn't get a game. He knew the writing was on the wall.

Where are all these hard games at the MCG? Collingwood and Richmond from the top 8 compared to Demons, Bulldogs, Lions and Dockers at home. I see your figures back up the way Cats fans see it but the reality is that this year Cats were looked after very well by a soft draw. My statement is apted. Congrats on winning the premiership.

PS I left out the finals games as Geelong had no choice but to play there, if it were up to them they would of rather played at GMHBA stadium.

Are you fair dinkum?

Cats would have played every team in that 40 game period, and you are saying they haven’t had any tough games, that is hillarious your way of thinking.

It’s like this on Bigfooty

Tigers win the flag - it’s not fair they play all their games at the G

Cats won the flag - it’s not fair they don’t play all their game s at the MCG

and if the cats did play all their games at the G as I previously illustrated (80% wins at KP and 75% win at G) they would have the same result, the 2022 flag
