Early season predictions from the experts …

Crystal Ball: Our predictions for the 2021 AFL season are in

Great Read FF.

Iv'e never seen so much amusing fiction , since I read some James Bond Novels.

However at least Barrett came up with the gem "...Clarkson and Kennett will come to blows..." 

But anyone could have tipped this come to think of it.

 

 

 

Pretty sure Demonland's own crystal ball was more accurate and more adventurous, too.

We are the experts, after all.

Noakes had us in 8. Putting us behind Saints and Blues did not age well for some. These ladders show why we have been disrespected all year. The ongoing expectation we will fall over. It why our odds have been overs


And those blokes are paid money to be "experts"?  No more of an idea than the average fan.

Every single tipster had Rchmond in the 8

 

To be fair they're just football journalists... Calling them experts is flattering. 

Most of them wont mind getting us wrong too much if Port win the flag.

I had us around the 6th-8th mark.

The season has been terrific at helping us forget just how poor we were at times last season and horrendous the year before. Feel like we've only just won the full trust of all AFL media in the last month.

The catalyst for this year was the disastrous 2019 season. That free fall was not a true reflection of our position. It allowed us to improve our squad with real top end talent. This list was always on talent top four it just required some proper leadership and soul searching a la Geelong 2006. Cam Mooney spotted it but just had his years wrong.

Poor enough last year to have 107% !!

and more wins than losses.

ONE bad game in 2020 vs port 

TWO others not great bs Dogs and Eagles

TWO AFL and poor culture losses in CAIRNS

Rest were wins by good margins and when our defence started to evolve we beat Saints and GWS.

Looking back last 9 games were 6/3 so we started to launch part of our defence  style and 2020 was not wasted PLUS games into Dogga Kossie Riv  and Langers and Tommo.!!

not so poor after all YB ???

Would've been a brave person to leave them out after 3 flags in 4 years! A drop to 6th/7th sure but not outside the 8.

The amount of these so called experts who put Collingwood in the 8 is staggering, blind Freddy could see them collapse down the ladder, with the stars they traded out.

I'd argue that many of them are not journalists, just 'reporters'.

Fair play to Goodwin in that interview, what he said has pretty much all happened (or could happen).

Goody knows more in that interview than all the "expert scribes"!

I am saying we were not POOR as much as you said and we set up some defence and learnings last season which have been extended this year in our plans and form.

ie we weren't so poor as you said in 2020 in fact a good development year in prep for 2021.' Ph

You need to read my statement. I said we were poor 'at times', that's all. You backed this up by stating the games we were poor. There weren't many of them yes but they were crucial games for us making the finals.

I think we had an underrated year last year especially the way we built up form through the back part of the year. Internally the club was pleased with the performances especially in the hubs. 

Coming into 2019 I predicted over the next 3 years we would miss the finals at least once and make a GF at least once.  Needless to say it wasn't looking good in March this year!  but I'm happy to brag about it now (well soon hopefully!)

improvement is rarely linear with a young team

 

I tipped this just saying

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • 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.
