Only got 4 of the top 8 right.

I don't think many would have had Collingwood or West Coast in there.


I managed 5/8.

My 9th, 11th and 12th replace my 1st , 7th and 8th.

Bulldogs, what was I thinking??? St. Kilda pooped out and North made me look like a potato.

Which teams are we least confident on? Ie calculate their standard deviation

I would guess Port, Melbourne and GWS


Interesting lack of confidence in Port on here, compared to most of the scribes anyway. Interesting, but not surprising.


What reason should people have confidence in Port in 2018?
2017 they couldn't beat a top 8 side all year, failed to win a final against a side who cannot win away (except against Port it seems).
2018, topped up the list with a heap of players their respective clubs no longer wanted. Most being inconsistent performers and yet to prove their worth.
Port are very speculative IMO. Would not surprise me to finish top 4 or bottom 8.


How accurate was this! Covered both bases :lol:

LM.

I don't think people dribble shit on here. It's full and frank exchange of ideas from people who have played 800 plus games with eleventeen B&Fs plus one runner up when they had a broken leg and the plague, averaged 14 goals a game and 17 premierships in 12 years.

I got my ladder in perfect order and tipped every winner bar one. Missed the draw. Not as good as last year but everyone has an off year.

I just forgot to post it.

Top 6 - Adelaide, Port, GWS, Geelong, Sydney & Richmond

Middle 6 - Hawthorn, West Bulldogs, West Coast, Essendon, Melbourne & St. Kilda

Here it is then:-

2. GWS
3. Adelaide
4. Port

8. Essendon

9. Western Bulldogs
10. Melbourne
11 St. Kilda
12. Hawthorn
13. Fremantle
14. Collingwood
15. Carlton
16. North
17. Brisbane
18. Gold Coast


5/8 - Missed my own mob, Collingwood & the Dees. 0/4 for the top 4 - :oops:
1961, 1971, 1976, 1978, 1983, 1986, 1988, 1989, 1991, 2008, 2013, 2014, 2015.... And don't you forget it!

Daisy, you have officially lost the plot.

North and brisbane too high????

And Port, Hawthorn... GWS still have a shot too. I will do my list tomorrow so you can return fire.


I got one right and in the right position in the top 4
4/8 seems to be about standard
