I know lots of people will disagree with me, just my opinion.

 

Gold coast third? Really?

It's relative to our rise to 8th.

The Dons will have lost up to a dozen of their best players by the start of next year and will be caught in the misery of expensive court cases when these players sue them which will last most of next year.

Demons to "do a Port Adelaide" with a favorable draw, a much better list, and a great coach.

18.Essendon* (assuming they lose players to suspension,

Otherwise they'll be in the mix for the 8)

Hope we can win some close ones and push higher but realistically

this is where I think we'll be.

 

I only can see us finishing above:

StKilda - they are poo

Brisbane - player exodus, issues with the board etc

GWS - still developing, wont make the Gold Coast leap

Western Bulldogs - we have a better backline and forwards, now we are catching up to their midfield

Gold Coast, Adelaide, West Coast, Carlton, etc all either have too many prime senior players or ridiculous young talent and will finish above us for that reason.

The best looking ladder in 2004 for the MFC

I feel as though melbourne could very well be higher up the ladder, but i really can't see us improving enough to leapfrog the teams above them, except for maybe port as they may have a hangover from last year.

Ffs even if we improve by 10 goals we will still lose most games. Our midfield might be 3 times more efficient, that still will not be enough to mix it at the top.

Hahaha the MFC finishing higher than the cats next year!!!

Gimme some of your stash brother!!

Geelong have lost about 25 games since 2007, in that time we have made ourselves irrellevant sadly.

Improvement will come but not like your prediction :)

I will take 5-6 wins and a percentage of around 85-90....is this fair?

Essendon's position will be dependent on the ASADA action,

Sydney will slip due to the destabilising effect of Buddy's arrival and the departure of several players as a result.

Saints will struggle.

Bulldogs will continue their good form and remain ahead of us.

Port will settle back down to a more realistic position.

A decent midfield and classy forward line will see us start to move up, but not as rapidly as some seem to think as we first need to build a "winning culture".

Quick Guess:

1. Fremantle (Col get's a premiership!)

2. Sydney (Can't stop the forwards)

3. North Melbourne (Ready to pop)

4. Hawthorn (Missing something, someone)

5. Geelong (I guess they were pretty good...)

6. West Coast (Cocaine's a helluva drug)

7. Port Adelaide (Improving)

8. Adelaide (Still round a bouts)

9. Richmond (We finished 9th again)

10. Melbourne (Up and up)

11. Collingwood (??? Buckley ????)

12. Essendon (Steroids wearing off)

13. Carlton (Mick's lost his mojo)

14. Gold Coast (Still improving)

15. Western Bulldogs (Solid, but without wins)

16. GWS (Are we there yet?)

17. Brisbane (Leigh, you want to have another go?)

18. St Kilda ("It's alright, we planned for this")

Paul Roos first full season with Sydney he turned them into a team that finished 14th the last season, to a team in the top 4, don't see why he can't do something similar with us.

Paul Roos first full season with Sydney he turned them into a team that finished 14th the last season, to a team in the top 4, don't see why he can't do something similar with us.

Indeed. History is littered with teams that have risen quickly, so anything is possible. How quickly can our midfield beak even and get the ball inside 50, can we have a decent run with injuries and how quickly they learn the game-plan will be pivotal.

In 1993 Sydney were the absolute pits. They won one game for the season. In 1996 they'd included players such as Lockett, Roos and Shannon Grant and finished top of the ladder only to lose the GF.

Things can change quickly.

A bit of luck and if the additions do as expected we should win 8-10 games and be around 10-12 on the ladder, especially with the likely draw of playing poor teams twice. Year two of Roos I reckon finals aren't out of the question.

That's it I reckon... oh crap, I just saw it's for 2014 not 2024!

 

1. Fremantle - Only going to get better next year

2. Hawthorn - Better without Buddy?

3. Sydney - Too much talent to finish outside the top 4

4. Geelong - Young guys like Motlop, Duncan etc only going to get better

5. North Melbourne - Unfortunate, as I cannot stand them. Team is shaping up pretty well

6. Collingwood - Neither here nor there. Talented, but poorly managed

7. Richmond - Will be similar to this year

8. Adelaide - Tex comes back with Betts at his feet. Crouch, Dangerfield, Sloane, Douglas form matchup nightmares for opposing midfields.

9. Carlton - Nothing special

10. Essendon - Drugs will have well and truly worn off

11. Port Adelaide - Don't think they'll regress too much, just other teams like Adelaide will have better seasons

12. Gold Coast - Will continue to gradually move up the ladder

13. West Coast - Should be better, but with a rookie coach I don't see the improving straight away

14. Brisbane - No idea what's going on up there

15. Melbourne - To even get to 15th would be a drastic improvement on last season. It will take some time to be beating down the door of the eight again

16. Bulldogs - Lack strength in key positions, McCartney doesn't seem like much of a coach either

17. GWS - Might win 3-4 games. Talented, no doubt, but they don't know how to win.

18. St Kilda - Total mess, will be down in the dregs for a few years you'd think. Watters first coach to fall next year

Your on crack if you think we'll be in the top 8 at the end of next season.

  • 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.
