2014 ladder predictions

[Dudge]

Surprised anyone could not have the tiges in the 8 with our fixture.
Finished 5th last year with a tougher fixture and our best players are all getting better

\But you're Richmond, joking  Quinny. With your draw, and your playing list, anything is possible. I think there's 2 to 4 teams that are guaranteed top 4, and 3 teams more than likely bottom 3. So to me you're anywhere from 5th to 14th, like most of us. I will admit though, i'd like to put a dollar or two on you guys making the 8

[TheAnt]

14th? Seriously man, come on. I guess it's your opinion though..

There's going to be a lot of teams battling in mid table from 7-14th

[Vinny]

Yeah that is very true!

[Mailman the 2nd]

Its ok vinny, people always have silly ideas implanted permanently because they dislike team/player "X".

Looking at people's ladders, you can tell there are only a few who actually went through the fixture and looked at the predicted results lol.

Adelaide aren't good, but they won't finish below 13th lol, neither will Carlton.

It will be interesting to see which team is the "big improver" this year. (i.e. WC and Port recently)

I'm going to put my money on North Melbourne, now I reckon they can win some of those closer matches

It's not about likes/dislikes, there's genuinely teams where you could put them in about 6 different placings.

[Mailman the 2nd]

I wasn't directly inferring to you

I fully realise that there are several teams on a similar level, hence my post on the first page :P

I actually couldn't agree more with this tier lineup, although you forgot Geelong who are in my opinion now floating inbetween tier 1 & 2 as they lost Chappy, Corey and Pods but I'm sure they will find adequate replacements and turn them into superstars. I think port and collingwood on the their day are tier 2

Yeah, with a quality coach and an actual midfield we could go alright. I am tipping bottom half of the top 8 somewhere but we'll see. Most people had us top leading up to round 1 last season!
