Might be the red wine speaking or perhaps the rose coloured glasses(perhaps they're also one and the same), but just did the season on the ladder predictor (no real thought process just immediate first thought as to a winner & this is what i got;

Collingwood 17 1 4

Hawthorn 16 0 6

Melbourne 14 2 6

Adelaide 13 0 9

Fremantle 13 0 9

St Kilda 13 0 9

Sydney 12 1 9

Geelong 12 0 10

Carlton 11 0 11

Essendon 10 0 12

Nth Melbourne 10 0 12

West Coast 10 0 12

Footscray 9 0 13

Port Adelaide 9 0 13

Brisbane 8 0 14

Ricmond 5 0 17

Gold Coast 3 0 19

obviously the only other draw is us and Collin@%^&d again, like i said no real thought to it. just helps in predicting where everyone will end up due to match ups, will obviously be nowhere near the final ladder but i'd love it if it was....

anyone else done it yet? post your end of year 'Bailey Ladder'

    Unfortunately there will be a lot of games that we should probably win that we wont.

    The West Coast game last year comes to mind. We are still young and will be up and down.

    dont get me started! I flew over from perth with a heap of mates who are eagles supporters. I was sure we were going to win that game :(

    Matt Rosa played the only game of note in his whole carrier

    I went to that game to and was disgusted.

    I've just done the same exercise and have melbourne finishing with 9-1-12...which doesn't quite add up I think. I'm sure that in rnd 15 or 16 the dees didn't feature and weren't listed as having the bye...

    Anyway, we finish 11th and Hawthorn and Adelaide play off the for the flag.

    All done, now. Almost no point turning up!

    collingwood draw? no, we beat them by a point, then 2 points this year.

    better redo your ladder predictions properly.

    Am in a pick the season in advance tipping comp and had the following:

    Collingwood - 21 Wins

    Saints - 18

    Bullies - 17

    Dorks - 16

    Deeeessss- 15

    Swanies - 14

    Crows - 14

    Cats - 13

    Carlton - 11

    kangas - 10

    Tullarmine - 7

    Lions - 6

    Tiges - 4

    Port - 4

    Eagles - 3

    Suns - 2

    After round one I certainly would have changed some of my tips - Tullamarine and the Tiges to win more games and the 'Aints and Doggies less wins but that's the way it is............

    2 Hawthorn 18

    3 Geelong 16/1

    4 St_Kilda 16

    5 Sydney 14/1

    6 W_Bulldogs 12

    7 Essendon 12

    8 Carlton 12

    ----------------------------

    9 Adelaide 12

    10 Melbourne 10/1

    11 Fremantle 10

    12 Kangaroos 8

    13 P_Adelaide 8

    14 Brisbane 6

    15 W_Coast 6

    16 Richmond 5

    17 GC Suns 1

    Tipped us to lose a couple to the likes of Kangaroos and WCE again as I think we'll still be a bit up and down. Won't be anything like the final ladder but I wouldn't be too disappointed if we finished on 10 wins. Just hope we can start to win the "shoulds" and pinch a couple of "maybes".

    Surprised myself with how high I have the Swans finishing - don't really rate them that high on paper but I guess they have some good games at home.

    Very funny Wrathchild - didn't see it coming and a good description of a person in front of a computer with Rose coloured glasses.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
