I don't think many had West Coast and Richmond missing the 8 at this point last year, way too early to call.

Last time it happened was in 1986.At this stage it looks like an unusually imbalanced season - if the Cats win tomorrow as expected, there won’t be a single team with a 3-2 record after 5 rounds, which wouldn’t have happened often before (if at all).
Unless your actually living here you have NFIIts happened to West Coast because McGowan is a Moron and Freo have been lucky so far not suffer the same fate. Their State is ****ed.
I certainly see Dogs in and Pies out.If results go as expected there will be 2 games and percentage between 7th and 8th placed Collingwood after 5 rounds.
Would any of the current top 7 drop out? They all look in decent form.
You would have to suspect Bulldogs would win enough to get in the 8... Outside of the dogs... Hard to pick anybody at this stage... Maybe Giants/Richmond if they get their act together.
We haven't been the best 4-1 team ever as well.Wouldn’t be pencilling in just yet.
Saints went 4-1 in 2019 and only win another 5 for the rest of the year, and our current wild fluctuations in games are unsustainable.
4-1 flatters us, and unless we improve we will regress to the mean.
It wasn’t the rules, covid spread through the whole WC playing group. At the time, you could just wear masks and you would never be close contacts or limit interactions to less than 15 minutes or 2 hours at a time. WC didn’t take the threat seriously or were already writing the season off due to their preseason from hell.Rules have changed now. Most of the wce players who got knocked out wouldn’t be close contacts now.
It could go through freo but that would be a 1-2 problem maximum. Most of the Victorian teams have already had it during the preseason.
Are you sure? This forum was full of Weagle apologists saying this wasn’t so, and just wait until Freo suffer the same fate.It wasn’t the rules, covid spread through the whole WC playing group.

Lowest unemployment rate, lowest COVID death per capita, 8 billion surplus yeh we ****edIts happened to West Coast because McGowan is a Moron and Freo have been lucky so far not suffer the same fate. Their State is ****ed.
I would be very surprised if melb bris (both teams should be top 4) geelong st kilda and sydney dont play finals i think those 5 spots will happen.
Carlton should make it but they are still inconsistent and freo are a top 8 side on talent but they are quite young so they could fade at the back end. Collingwood are the most likely to drop out they are better than last year but still are not ready.
I think the bulldogs will make a charge and finish 7th-8th and they are too good not to. I can see the giants pushing for 6th-8th with the talent they have. Richmond look flat in parts to me and im not sure their midfield can challenge unless they get martin back.
The other 7 sides in the current bottom 10 wont play finals.
Richmond have a cake walk fixture, double ups Hawthorn, West Coast, Port, Essendon
That's a fairly good summary, and similar to my thinking, but there's always that additional element of randomness in sport where a top 8 side get hit with injuries and it opens the door for a team finding form.
An even season makes it intriguing, although Melbourne are going to take some chasing down, very stable atm.
Sydney are the clear second best IMOMost would agree melb are clearly the best team and theres a gap to the next you could consider geelong or brisbane 2nd best.
I think we will know more about carlton in a month if these fadeouts get worse with their list they should be top 8 but if they keep having fadeouts a team outside the 8 might take their spot. Likewise freo are young and can yo yo week to week.
I agree as it stands now i cant see anyone beating melb but injuries form and covid can change it pretty quickly...other than melb its a very open year i think even my team could win it if melb stumble, despite our age profile.
Hahahahaha Bulls##t!Top 5 is set.
Top 5 then the rest with the Blues, Cats and Dogs as the wild cards filling the 8.
That was done as a joke if you read the banter at that point.Hahahahaha Bulls##t!
You did a poxy poll at the start of the season on who will get the 2022 wooden spoon and threw freo under the bus as usual lol
