Straight Sets Simon 23,113 Posted March 19, 2018 Posted March 19, 2018 (edited) Every nuffie in the media is having their say so it's time we football forum nuffies have a go. This is the final ladder at the end of the home and away season. Point scoring system: Three points if you correctly guess a top eight team's position Two points if you correctly guess a team outside the top eight's position One point if you correctly guess a team finishing in the top eight but you don't get their correct position The winner will be showered with compliments and the loser will be forced to watch Mark Neeld's pre-game speeches on repeat. I think there will be just a handful of points separating the top and bottom teams, such a lottery this year.

In Harmes Way 7,869 Posted March 19, 2018 Posted March 19, 2018 The downside of coming last makes this a significant exercise you'd want to consider carefully. I did my tips for the year on the weekend and only picked us to lose twice. On this basis, I'm not willing to risk it. Watching Mark Neeld on repeat would have me calling lifeline afterwards. 1 1 Quote

Diamond_Jim 12,773 Posted March 20, 2018 Posted March 20, 2018 Some random thoughts Interesting that this is one year where the interstate teams cannot "bank" two wins against their cross town opponents. In the past it is normal for one of the interstate teams to be up and its cross city rival is down. Looking at them for 2018 the largest disparity is probably between Freo and the Eagles but neither is a definite winner or loser. This year we have Freo in Darwin. It's a must win for the Dees as one can expect that the rest of the teams fighting for the 8 will register home wins against Freo. We have two games against Adelaide including one being our home game in Alice. Split those and we can be top 4. Lose both and it gets harder. 13 wins for the 8 and 16.5 for 4th is my prediction. Strangely as others have mentioned we could turn at the bye at 9-2 and still only end up with 13 wins given our tough schedule in he second half of the year. Saints could be our new North .. we just have to beat them twice. As to the final ladder I have no idea but North for the spoon is probably a good bet unless they can turn Tassie into their fortress and pick up say 4 wins down there. For number 1 my pick is GWS. They were nearly there last year but they had a bad run with injuries. Richmond's game plan like ours can win any game on a given day but it is high maintenance and high risk. Somewhere between 3 and 6 for the Toiges. The Bulldogs are my conundrum team. Sure 2016 was a lucky premiership (oh we could have that luck) but the fact remains that they were easily in the 8 that year. Quote
Josh 1,420 Posted March 20, 2018 Posted March 20, 2018 (edited) I normally like to start with which teams I think are certainties to play finals then the teams I think certainly won't, then fill in the middle. Every year this gets more and more difficult. My top 3 I think make it easily and are a step above everyone else and from 12 down aren't finals material. Geelong are the hardest to pin, Selwood Dangerfield and Abblet may be the best starting 3 midfielders of the modern era. (I'm 30 so hard to comment before 2000's). 1. Richmond 2. GWS 3. Sydney 4. Geelong 5. Melbourne 6. Adelaide 7. Essendon 8. Port Adelaide 9. Western Bulldogs 10. Fremantle 11. West Coast 12. Hawthorn 13. Collingwood 14. St Kilda 15. Briabane 16. Gold Coast 17. Carlton 18.
