2019 Ladder Prediction Competition

Straight Sets Simon
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

Posted

I've probably left this a bit late this year.

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 finishing in the top eight but you don't get their correct position
  • One point if you correctly guess a team outside the top eight's position

My guess:

  1. Collingwood
  2. West Coast
  3. Richmond
  4. Adelaide
  5. Melbourne
  6. GWS
  7. Hawthorn
  8. Geelong
     
  9. Sydney
  10. Essendon
  11. Brisbane
  12. Western Bulldogs
  13. North Melbourne
  14. Port Adelaide
  15. Carlton
  16. St Kilda
  17. Fremantle
  18. Gold Coast

    I can't really see us progressing until mid-season once the likes of Viney/Melksham/Jones etc. get into their groove after hampered pre-seasons and the likes of Joel Smith/Lever/AVB all return from long term injuries.

    Can't wait to see how badly wrong I got this!! No margins were put in hence the percentages are all the same.

    Most of my assumptions here (which are complete garbage are based on which sides have the best 'team' attitude, less focused on the star power quotient.

     

    1. Richmond - Richmond had one off game, they hardly fell off the perch. Lynch and 6/6/6, are the questions for Richmond but still a very serious side (and a brilliant team ethos), am hoping I'm wrong but wouldn't seeing Rance get his comeuppance, Houli to be very important for them.
    2. West Coast - seem to track completely independently from what the football media says about them, one of the most misunderstood sides, team first footy players
    3. Melbourne -  was tempted to put Melbourne lower, we will go deep again (and I think win) but we have a tough draw and are starting unsettled in defence. No wrist cutting please - if we are 3/3 after 6 games.
    4. Collingwood - I think they over achieved last year, shows that it is a team game. They have some weapons, I also think Beams will have a great year.
    5. Sydney - Never going to write this mob off. Dan leaving was no good, but still seem to sprout hard at midfielders like mushrooms.
    6. Adelaide - Only by virtue of playing in SA, not far off a coaching change. NQR (thank god).
    7. GWS - a reminder that it is a team game, they don't get to play the Washington Wizards in Finals.
    8. Essendon - I feel dirty putting Essendon in the 8. TBH I can't split Essendon and Geelong, one supposedly falling and one rising, but then I remember that I read that in the media so know that to be as factual as a Trump tweet.
    9. Geelong - I am overly negative on Geelong, they still have a gun list and a sensible coach - the thing is I think they think are missing their own mojo. Chris Scott has his work cut out for himself this year.
    10. Hawthorn - possibly Clarkson's greatest ever year if he gets them to finals - can't see it happening with a faded Roughead and no TM.
    11. Brisbane - Would love to see them in the eight, they give the impression of having their head in the right place but I need more evidence to get on the bandwagon.
    12. North Melbourne - OK team, not enough cattle to seriously threaten.
    13. Port Adelaide - Meh, tried to do a 'Moneyball' and it failed, and Paddy Ryder is done, (a shame because on his day a huge weapon).
    14. Western Bulldogs - The glow of everyone having a soft spot for Murphy has faded, journeyman club, Bont can't do it by himself, should have traded Libba, lots of ok/good players but I don't see the team spark, I expect them to be raided, Hawks and North to throw cash at a few. 
    15. Fremantle - Ross Lyon can coach but he needs a sabbatical, off field this club is shizen, lucky they have a huge supporter base to keep the lights on, Fyfe must regret his loyalty, he won't play finals (again) at Freo. 
    16. Carlton - Anywhere from 17th to 12th, Curnow is their best forward since before Fev got on the turps, McGovern my favourite defender (has to be a large Visy bag somewhere) and Cripps is a sensation, surely some of the other foot soldiers will have to start believing - I still want them to suck though.
    17. St Kilda - Irrelevant to the competition, they have wiped out a decade with bad recruitment.
    18. Gold Coast - Pity, Stewart Dew to become the heaviest coach in VFL/AFL history from stress eating.

    I had Richmond dropping this season and were betting on them missing the top 4.

    If Rance goes down with an acl I call they will miss the 8.

    • AFLW REPORT: Gold Coast

      The forecast said wind. The ladder said mismatch. The scoreboard said obliteration. Melbourne didn’t just beat Gold Coast — they dismantled them: 13.15 (93) to 0.6 (6). An 87-point obliteration, the Suns held goalless, and the Demons delivering their second-highest winning margin and third-highest score in AFLW history.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #28 Will Verrall

      It was a tough ask for him to break through as a 199cm ruckman in the shadow of an all-time great in that position who is also the club captain. He had some good days at Casey but was unable to progress and was delisted at the end of the season.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #29 Tom Campbell

      The 33-year-old Campbell has yet to play AFL football for Melbourne, but his Casey form has been strong and he has been retained as a ready-made ruck depth option who is widely regarded as someone who is excellent for the culture of the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #30 Harry Sharp 

      The Demons acquired an interesting player in Sharp, who narrowly missed securing a spot in the Lions’ premiership team last year. The 22-year-old medium forward played in the opening round this season and ended up with 18 senior games, although he was substituted in or out in for ten of those matches. He demonstrated glimpses of form, but ultimately ended the year on the margins of the team.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

      Worked his way back after a slow start and a further slump in form going into the midseason but became a solid contributor for the club in the latter half of 2025. Closing in on 300 goals for the club.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.
