2023 Ladder Predictor

[catempire]

Only change this round is Freo in free fall. All results as expected and final 8 unchanged.

An extra win (against Port/Pies) makes no difference to week one of finals for us.

An extra loss, against Freo, Saints or Dogs, and we miss the 8.

If we beat Essendon in that scenario, a Gabba rematch likely awaits.

In this scenario we would start Round 23 out of the eight and would make finals in our last game against the Bulldogs. Imagine the nervous tension at GHMBA for that one.

Would be little given Bulldogs haven't won there since 1932 and will have their finals spot sewn up.

 

[Mr Meow]

Essendon may replace Adelaide, but I give them a real chance in the upcoming showdown. Either way I think 12 wins will be good enough for 8th.

 

[Mr Meow]

Melbourne straight sets and Brisbane to choke in a home prelim is a solid chance now. I don't see Geelong getting past a prelim but I could see them getting to one.

 

[Baudolino]

St Kilda squeaking over the line here truly sucks. With an equitable fixture we'd be a game clear of them at least.

They basically won’t make it unless they beat us. And if they beat us they deserve to make it ahead of us.

Petition to make sure a Cats v GWS elimination final isn’t played at KP

I'll second the petition

It would be funny though if it was our opposition petitioning for the final to be played on our home ground

 

[CHAWKTS]

I have us winning from 6th!

Interesting that I had the same top 7 as the fox footy team.. I am less bullish about Richmond and Carlton (who I think will fall off after this run).

Plus Richmond to Docklands please.

GWS @ MCG
Brisbane @ Gabba
Collingwood @ MCG
Port Adelaide @ MCG

It looks a bit beyond us this year, but the '22 Cats would be fine with that run. Brisbane in a high stakes final up there are more than gettable. We can't play any worse and we had one less scoring shot. Collingwood would need to be faced at some point anyway, better to avoid an AO prelim against Port.

GWS has

Bulldogs - L
Swans - W
Port - L
Bombers - W
Blues - L

It’s a pretty tough run. I don’t expect them to win three of those.

Yeah they're not personally in my final 8. They'd surely need to win the match vs the Blues, or sneak an upset this weekend. Not impossible, but unlikely.

 

[CHAWKTS]

Getting 6th - which I now think is more likely is actually better than getting 5th in my view. Much great chance of playing all finals in Melbourne - MCG

We win the first (against our bunnies - bulldogs)…then play Melbourne (who lose to Port interstate) who I would back us to win against (not a fan). Get to play Collingwood in preliminary final which I reckon is better than in the GF. They will be tight after only losing 2 for the year…. We win that and it is 2007 all over again!!

I reckon they beat the bulldogs this week. I am not a bulldogs believer

I think I said that in the OP or somewhere that it could come down to % with the doggies

How often do Bulldogs lose on Mars? Minus Green and Hogan (required Vs Bulldogs more than Sun's at home IMO) it's a big ask. Reminds me of Adelaide going there without Walker and getting pumped.

Ok…you win. I missed the Mars part. GWS will be frozen by half time…

I changed that on my predictor. Geelong stayed 6th and bulldogs swapped with GWS (so we play them in elimination - which I think is harder for us that bulldogs but..)

Your you right and this is what im hoping for but I think Melbourne will likely throw the swans game so they can finish 4th and play pies at the MCG.

 

[you pick one]

I did the ladder predictor last night trying not to be Geelong bias and was surprised we came out 6th at the end of the home and away.I was expecting maybe 9th.

I think a lot depends on the next month or so. We have the ability, and we're playing some very good sides to close out the regular season, so if we hit September with confidence on the back of a winning streak... I reckon that run looks absolutely doable.

Yeah you gotta do that, but not easy
