Where will Essendon finish in 2011?

[nathan t]

Where will Essendon be on the ladder at the end of round 24?

 

[Jade]

I think somewhere between 9-12 would be likely.

 

[The OBSTacle]

A good run with injury: 7-8
A fair run with injury: 9-11
A poor run with injury: 11-14

They should go past Carlton in 2011, but have competition for a spot in the 8 from Melbourne, Port and North.

14th.

Assembled a great coaching panel, yet the list problems stemming from the Sheedy era will take a lot longer to fix.

 

[gO_bOmBeRz]

Although it is early days, and many of our fan base and getting excited about our pre-season form, we have still shown much improvement in our skills and game plan.

8th if we have a good run with injuries

I agree with the prediction but boy do I disagree about Melbourne getting up there.

 

[DVD Player]

Who the bloody hell picked 4th????

 

[Gus]

Don't think they can make the 8 this year, but anywhere from 9-14th seems about right. Depends on how their NAB form translates into the season proper.

 

[Kahuna]

They are going to struggle in the real stuff with teams actually trying to beat them.

Their list is terrible, an injury to Watson and it could get ugly for them.

A succesful season for them would be staying out of the bottom 5.

Looking at The Age this morning, probably Rohan Connolly

Essendon will finish anywhere between 6th and 14th. Carlton between 6th and 10th imo.

 

[Bic]

Bookmark Essendon for bottom 6. I voted 14th.

No. I don't think so.

 

[PCORF]

Anything below 10th will be a failure to them. So I picked 10th.

Ross Lyon???

[jonoman89]

10th-13th sounds about right.

 

[Lotch]

Trying to be unbiased and realistic

I think between 8 and 12 this year so I picked 10

 

[Rocky_Star_Pro]

11th, we could have a crack at the 8 but I doubt that

 

[Slattery_20]

1st 0 0%
2nd 0 0%
3rd 0 0%
4th 2 2.56%
5th 0 0%
6th 4 5.13%
7th 5 6.41%
8th 10 12.82%
9th 7 8.97%
10th 15 19.23%
11th 5 6.41%
12th 4 5.13%
13th 9 11.54%
14th 11 14.10%
15th 4 5.13%
16th 0 0%
17th 2 2.56%

So far it's looking like about 11th as a median or something (can't remember stats!), realistically I think that's about the mark.

 

[thegenius]

14th. essendon have potentially the worst list at the moment. blamed mainly on sheedy & then knights promising too much too soon

apart from a solid ruck division don't really have any strengths around the ground

 

[bombermick]

Trying to be unbiased, my guess is 9th. I think they'll pinch a couple of early wins and beat most of the sides they should, before tiring at the back end. We'll have a much better percentage due to a lot less floggings.
