2012 Ladder Prediction

No Maurie, what has happened is we have a list of players who are not fit enough and have under performed over the last 5 years, whilst being paid top $$$$. Stop thinking everything just happens with draft picks.

AFL dictate much of the payment structure - plus you have to pay legislated % of salary cap. We have a very well managed salary cap payment structure.

 

Stop thinking everything just happens with draft picks.

Where did I say 'everything just happens with draft picks'?

Can you deny that Carlton's high draft picks over several years and their bonus priority picks have made a considerable difference to their progress?

Absolutely Maurie. Which is why our FD should have been beefed up straight after the debt demolition. Tanking without a suitable FD was deplorable IMO.

Better late than never I say.

I tell you what though, I am glad I posted this originally before the St Kilda game - I am still adament that the Demons can make 10th this year.

I am planning on coming down from Brisbane to the MCG on Queen's Birthday to watch Melbourne beat Collingwood.

Give us 8 teams we are better than...


Looks like the 8 is going to be very tight this year - Adelaide, Carlton, Collingwood, Essendon, Fremantle, Geelong, Hawthorn, North Melbourne, Richmond, St.Kilda, Sydney, West Coast - 12 into 8 won't go.

Beautiful 12 lists to "raid" instead of 8 - we have the gunpowder to be active at the trade table. This is the year of all years to use it. We need to be identifying talent on our hit list now - geez a another top quality "opposition" analyst with a recruiting back-ground would come in useful. Might take a few dollars but it would be well worth it.

 

Essendon, North, Richmond and St. Kilda won't make it. 8 goes in to 8 very nicely.

Whoever. "miss" out geez they will be motivated - hope they dont miss by much - hehehehe.

I could see a team with excess 1st round draft picks in this draft become the "lynch-pin" deal maker if there was something in it for them. B)

oh yes an an "excess" Ruckman would not go astray either - you always get top picks for Ruckmen. B)

I hope Adelaide finish just above us and we can trade our first round compo for Dangerfield!

pft, that will mean winning 10 out of the remaining 17.. and we are a massive chance to lose the next 6 in a row

you must be smoking some pretty good gear there

So since 17 - 6 = 11 I can remain confident that we will get at least ten wins!

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
