2021 Ladder predictions?

Football Discussion Dustin Fletcher Hangar

Sorry if there is already a thread but couldn’t find it. What are your predictions? Here’s my top 8

  1. Geelong
  2. Brisbane Lions
  3. Port Adelaide
  4. Richmond
  5. West Coast
  6. St Kilda
  7. Western Bulldogs
  8. Collingwood

Have Geelong on top simply because they probably won’t lose a game at home, same with the lions, i think Port will still be strong again. I might be overrating them a little though. Richmond will still be there but may slide a little as they’ve bee up for a while. West Coast are ageing but will win too many home games. St Kilda have been building for a while. They nearly defeated the tigers in the finals last year they should make the 8. The Bulldogs aren’t great (still a very weak/average forward/backline) but their midfield is just too strong for them to not make the 8.
8th was hard. Carlton could make it. Also Fremantle who I rate. But I put collingwood in because their backline is still very strong on paper and teams who are hard to score against usually make the 8.

One thing I’ll predict is that any top 8 featuring the same sides as last year will be wrong.
Can’t recall it ever happening
(And couldn’t be bothered checking )

So that’s Donnington & Squiggle not looking good already.

Really got no idea though

Lions finished bottom 3 then the next year finished top 4

I don’t bother doing ladder predictions or tipping anymore just too hard to predict

Yeah I randomly guessed a lot of them

14 pages/mobile in, no ladders with us in the 8. On an Essendon fan site.

I’d say yep we have hit rock bottom.

I look forward to draft picks or pleasant surprise. Zero expectations

I cling onto this hope that it could apply to us.

Brisbane were incredibly poor for 3 years before a spectacular rebound.

I think we need the same.

I think Hawthorn will genuinely tank, but they won’t be worse than North no matter how hard they try.
I expect Adelaide to make some small steps, could possibly finish one position higher. They looked good in patches of games through the year and knocked off GWS (I think?).
Sydney are no good. Collingwood will drop.
Carlton and Gold Coast will be lower mid-table irrelevant.

Inconsistent St Kilda, GWS, Bulldogs to fight out the bottom of the eight with Freo probably on their tail.

If the season is proper then the big three home advantages to capitalise on an early season hangover for Richmond.
Melbourne’s list is under-rated, and Power overs.

And none of this will be accurate.

It can turn quicklly need some luck on the injury front and a total buy in from the players

If Brown was fit, I’d have the Dees at 6th. But I don’t rate Goodwin at all, and without Brown, I’m not sure they’ll be able to get enough goals.

Oliver has really improved his kicking, so Dees will dominate some sides with Gawn, Petracca and Oliver through the guts
