Melbourne 2017 ladder prediction

4 pre finals....1 post GF

 

As much as I hate to admit it, the performance tonight was no better than 2015. Our preseason optimism has no basis. Prepare for Tigers mark 2


Yep. I'm putting the lid back on and screwing it down for another year. Too many basic skill errors and some really dumb Demons footy. The ball movement of the Eagles was way better. We had no counter. and We lost too many centre clearances, despite the fact that our rucks dominated. . 

Yeah, I always judge our seasons based on practice matches. Especially ones against quality sides on their home turf in summer weather.

It's classic Dees fan logic to write the season off after a decent hit out against a quality opponent.

Have a feeling we'll have a strong start to the season then slow down. I predict somewhere between 6th (which I think is quite optimistic) and 11th. 

Pretty mjuch that. I have us 9th.


Try to remember Richmond are always to be placed 9th.........9thmond....ok don't mess with this ...we want them to have hope and then see it cruelly dashed every year.

The trouble may start as early as round one when Carlscum beat them!! Ha! Ha! (demonish evil laughter....etc)

Ladder 2017. GWS,ST.K,Demons,Dogs,Adelaide,Port,Swans,Dogs,Cats,Hawks,Pies,Bombers,Kangas,Tigers,Freo,Gc,Blues,Lions ODDS 1 trillion to one. Flag ST.K v Demons with the Demons winning by 40 pts. Oliver to win brandlow. Hogan to win Coleman. Hunt to win rising star. ODDS now 1000 trillion to one.

Continually think of Mario from Doncaster... :)

I've seen and heard enough this pre season to be confident that we won't lie down in any game in 2017.  That should mean winning more than our share of the tight ones, and refusing 'point blank' to be beaten by the likes of Essendon and Carlton.  As we all know, good teams find a way to win, even on their 'off' days, and I have a hunch that we will see that characteristic emerge this year.. My strong gut-feel is that we'll finish 5 or 6 with around 14 wins ......... a perfect launching pad for 2018 and beyond.

Besides, I'm sick and tired of waiting!


ALL going well, looking at the fixture it's 13 wins for mine.

That would see us around 7 - 8th.

My final ladder using the AFL.com ladder predictor.  http://www.afl.com.au/ladder/ladder-predictor

Only real shock was seeing Gold Coast in the 8.  Much rather them than Geelong, Hawthorn and Collingwood, so hopefully my ladder comes to fruition.

  • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

    Melbourne returned to its city citadel, IKON Park, boasting a 10–2 home record and celebrating its 100th AFLW matchwith 3,711 fans creating a finals atmosphere. But in a repeat of Round 11, Brisbane proved too strong, too fit, and too relentless.  They brought their kicking boots: 9 goals, 2 points.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

    Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    Melbourne wrapped up the AFLW home and away season with a hard-fought 14-point win over Geelong at Kardinia Park. The result secured second place on the ladder with a 9–3 record and a home qualifying final against the Brisbane Lions next week.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

    It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

  • DRAFT: The Next Generation

    It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.
