2 Collingwood - 44

3Fremantle - 44

4St_Kilda - 36

5W_Bulldogs - 32

6Carlton - 32

Did my own ladder predictor to end of Round 14

Took some big guesses at some but came out with:

1 Geelong - 48

2 Freo - 44

3 Collingwood - 44

4 Carlton - 40

5 Bulldogs - 36

6 StKilda - 36

7 Sydney - 28

8 Essendon - 28

9 Brisbane - 28

10 Hawthorn - 24

11 Port - 24

12 North - 20

13 Melbourne - 16

So what I pretty much predicted before I did it came true.

1. I don't think it will be locked in, although I think they're will be less teams still in with a chance than I've predicted.

2. I haven't predicted another win for us in this time frame, but think we are some chance to get one.

3. You clearly rate the hawks and don't rate the dons. I don't think there is much between them, and have predicted the dons to beat them when they meet again soon. That is obviously a game that will have a big impact.

4. Carlton's next 4. Melb (MGG), North (Etihad), Freo (Etihad), Bris (Etihad). I've shamefully tipped them to go 4-0. They really could. They draw doesn't get horribly harder after that as well. Paying $4 to make the top 4 but will need to boost percentage and beat all teams including Freo in the next 4 weeks.

IMO at this stage the Hawks have a superior list to the Dons. They have IMO the best forwardline, the equal to most midfield, & get thin down back. So I have them marginally stronger ATM over the Dons.

I think the Blues, when the acid is applied, will struggle to make further headway with their forwardline & defence.

 

Interesting.

I'd be thrilled if we snuck away with 2 wins out of the next 4. We'd be 6 and 8 and still at least sort of in the hunt for a finals berth.

I'm hoping to see as FEW games as possible at the end of the season where we're just managing the list and going for development. If we can rack up the 11th loss in round 19 or so, the last 3 would be fine by me.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
