2012 Ladder

[Ziplock]

Mine, considering all teams receive equal injuries;
Top 8: Hawthorn, Collingwood, Geelong, Fremantle, Carlton, Essendon, Sydney, St Kilda.
Bottom 10: West Coast, North Melbourne, Western Bulldogs, Brisbane, Richmond, Adelaide, Melbourne, Gold Coast, GWS, Port Adelaide.

swap essendon for west coast, and st kilda for north melbourne, and that's pretty much the same as mine :P

Nobody can fluke a 24plus game season Cic

and @Wes - Cic is just a one-eyed Freo supporter so that makes him an Eagles hater as of right ...  ;)

clearly but it earned him a boo from me... being one eyed doesn't mean you can make outlandish untrue statements.

LIKE HOW SYDNEY WILL CONQUER ALL  ;D

hopefully.....

[lozza63]

1. Cats - 18 (look to carry on)
2. Hawks -17 (will luck change?)
3. Pies   - 17 (quite tough draw)
4. Blues - 16 (very nice draw)

5. Saints - 15 (Draw looks good to me)
6. Dockers - 13 (start slow come home strong)
7. Eagles   - 13 (strong early may fade late)
8. Bombers - 12 (can maintain their spot)

9, Kangas   - 11/12 (nice enough draw)
10. Swans   - 10 (think they may dip a little)
11. Crows - 9  (very nice draw)
12. Tigers - 9  (toughish draw will have them struggle)
13. Lions  - 7 (tough draw)
14. Dogs  - 6 (structure dramas - rucks & forwards, aging backs too)
15. Dees  -  6 (still got heaps of structural probs, midfield looks slow)
16. Suns   - 4/5
17. Power  - 2/3
18 Giants  - 1 (maybe)

why is everybody putting collingwood on the top of the ladder, theirs no way they will even make the eight :P (sarcasm should be noted)

In my opinion Hawthorn has the best list but the are the coaches/staff good enough.

[Hawka]

Well I'm honstly chffed that your list isnt totally different than mine :) glad i got close, obviously i dont rate sydney and you do, your probably right but i just dont like them.

I'm probably giving Brisbane too much credit but damn they "should" be better with that list. Shouldn't they?

I thnk the hawks "could" finish top 2, but won't and i don't think the blues "should" but will, i feel an aweful feeling thier time is coming, they have a lot still to get right but when they do and they better soon they will go very very well.

I reckon the annoying cats will stay strong and westcoast as do you and interestingly you seem to share my view freo MUST get it together and be top 6 like they should also with that list.

Insteresting to see how the "missed premiership window" affects the saints.

[maanco]

why do i have so many boos and no cheers??

i recon the saints premiership window is still open they probably only have 1 year left with their current list. without Lenny last year the clubs clearances where way down and were ranked 14th overall in that area (the lowest out of the finalists)

[Zombie2.5]

1. Hawks (Possibly?)
2. C'wood (eww)
3. Carlton
4. Geelong
5. West Coast
6. Freo
7. St Kilda
8. Essendon

9. Crows  YESS!!! (^^ one more spot^^)
10. Kangas
11. Richmond
12. Sydney
13. Brisbane
14. Melbourne
15. Gold Coast
16. Bulldogs (dono why put doggies here)
17. GWS (better than power)
18. Poower (yes finally get a wooden spoon)

[meow meow]

Bulldogs 3rd last? Lol. Looking at the draw, I expect us to win 10 games this year, but that could easily turn into 12. I've given one each to us and Norf, but if we're up and running we should be able to take care of them both times. Same deal with Essendon. We beat Carlton last year too, and I haven't given us a win against them this year, but it could easily happen again.

I think the Saints will be the big sliders, and Freo to jump up to 4th. Richmond are the real unknowns. If things go right, they could make the 8. Talented list. Brisbane should improve a great deal, if they can stay injury free. Melbourne will be the lowest place Vic team.

[TheMailman]

Yeah I'm sorry the WB aren't fantastic but they are much better than 16th  :P

Plus Sydney (I'm hoping) really has the ability to finish anywhere from 2nd-10th IMO

The only team which I feel they really can't beat this year are Carlton.
