Who will win the wooden spoon in 2018?

[Benny78]

How the hell does Geelong and Essendon get so many votes???

Geelong actually haven't received the spoon in 60 years. Basically all other clubs have received at least one since the 80's. So the odds of escaping one next season are stacked incredibly against us. That said we are a great side, and great sides usually find a way to defy the impossible.

You mean if you hadnt taken banned substances causing half the list to be penalised.

BOMBERS4LIFE needs to stop taking illegal substances
Delusional

 

[JVseven]

Yeah? Nah.

We are not Melbourne, or Brisbane or GC (thank God). We stopped getting the Wooden Spoon decades ago.

Yet you have the second most out of all clubs. North for the 2018 spoon, nothing is more certain!

Except during the finals.

Hahahahaha

You gotta be in it to win it

North has the worst list, so is my tip for the spoon. Last season was the only club without any Rising Star nominations or All Australians and also finished bottom in the Brownlow votes. North was unable and sign any A graders or anyone for that matter despite their Aggressive Reset policy.

Could be a tough year for a few sides but I’m thinking the Roos

I can see GC copping numerous 100+ losses in 2018. There will be talk of the AFL bringing in a 'mercy rule'. Don't bookmark that.

Hawks/Roos equal bottom and merge.

There's going to be a few quotable posts in here come 11 months time.

Ima quote your post just for the quality profile pic, no need to wait 11 months.

Whoever gets Izak Rankine will be glad they get a little wooden utensil....

I think any team in the bottom 6 will be well "compensated" with a future star.

I reckon they'll be a bit like Brisbane this year.
Show some signs in matches, but generally lose quite comfortably.

When they do win, the opposition CEO/Coach/President/Captain will feel compelled to apologise to their fans.

Wouldn’t be a bad year to win the spoon.



If Collingwood don’t put it together early, I think they might completely implode, as the vultures will take no time to circle Buckley and the questions will be coming think and fast.

From there pressure will build, players will have seen it all before, will become defeated mentally and the side will nosedive.

My prediction should they get off to a poor start is the Pies, otherwise its out of North and the Suns.

Yep current discussion on pies board now in relation to our draw and specifically the first 8 round block.

AFL has us again having to play 5 out of the top 8, 4 of which were top 4 all in the first 8 rounds. This is the make or break period for pies and Buckley. Repeat last years results of 2-6 and the wheels will fall off.

However should we manage 4-4 I think it will have the opposite effect and set us up as the rest of our draw is much easier and our confidence will not have suffered a blow like last year.

My prediction was based on the media being at the ready to jump on Bucks(as they do).

Now, after seeing that first 6 games, I am pre-empting Robinson, Landsberger and Caro all sharpening their knives, ready for action.

AFL would know full well that its head lines waiting to happen, makes for a good soap opera if it goes there way.

How many wins gets you the spoon?

Under 5.

 

[JG22]

North are really just starting their rebuild, GC should be able to score some wins with their list.

 

[Benno_900]

Well we should have won it this year...

 

[Sttew]

Essendon have again shown they have no respect for their playing group.

They have exposed their younger players to a seriously negative influence, when no other club showed any serious interest in a bloke walking barefoot around the Droop St TAB.

I have grave concerns for that windy hill mob.

Bookmark this. Essendon will finish higher than Richmond in 2018

 

[PP34]

North Melbourne. Their list just looks real ordinary and they didn't do anything to improve in the trade period. Yes they'll draft some kids but that won't be enough to stop them from losing a ton of games.

Carlton is a slight chance, but I feel like that will only happen if we implode without Gibbs being there and the likes of Cripps and Murphy have a horror run with injury. Finishing last would be a disaster for the club so I can't see it happening personally.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

You mean if you hadnt taken banned substances causing half the list to be penalised.

Still waiting for this proof of them taking an illegal substance any who.
