Revisiting our pre-season predictions

Featured Replies

Just for a bit of perspective on our season so far I thought it would be interesting to see what people predicted for the first ten rounds before we had played a game.

Results to date:

Round 1 Sydney Draw 84-84 Melbourne

Round 2 Hawthorn Loss 77-122

Round 3 Brisbane Win 82-71

Round 4 Gold Coast Win 159-69

Round 5 Bye

Round 6 West Coast Loss 52-106

Roung 7 Adelaide Win 149-53 //spotted by Happeninghunts

Round 8 North Melbourne Loss 83-124

Round 9 St Kilda Loss 86-106

Round 10 Carlton Loss 46-93

Looking back at This Thread it would seem to me that we're not all that far off what was expected.

I look at my own predictions and see that we have three losses that I thought were 50/50 games in West Coast, North Melbourne and Carlton. Looking back I was probably a bit ambitious with Carlton, but I thought we were a very good chance against the other two. I also have us down to win next week against Essendon, which is highly unlikely at the moment. Still, we are sitting at the lower end of my "Acceptable" range.

I'm just wondering how everyone else thinks we're looking when you compare it to your predictions at the start.

Added round 7 result

 

In terms of wins/losses, probably at the lower range of what I expected. However, as stated elsewhere, it is the manner in which we have lost that is more disappointing. Some good progress in some players (e.g., Watts, Martin) has been a positive though, and we do have a massive injury list. Second half of the season will be far more interesting and telling.

You misssed the crows game round 7 Win 149-53

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.
