The SANFL is so Predictable

[NFC]

Predictable as in the end of the year. Same teams will be right up there yet again.

Sure there are upsets during the minor round, but come the latter stages of the season and the finals it’s all fairly predictable IMO.

alright if its so predictable nominate your top 5 in order and Ill raise this thread in September...challenge is on

In order?

Central
Eagles
Port
North
Sturt

[dogs01]

How is that predictable, Sturt weren't picked to finish in the top 5 at the start of the year, but now you pick them.If you want it to be predictable you should have said glenelg or south.

doubt the Eagles will make the GF this year, at this stage even finals are looking out of reach of them, just to much competition from other clubs this year.

After game 3 in 2006 - Eagles were 1 win and 2 losses and made and won the GF
After game 3 in 2007 - Eagles are in the same spot in wins and losses.
So anything is posible.

A couple nasty responses on this thread. But then what does one expect for a "SANFL is so boring (and my team is bottom) whinge, whinge" thread?
Results from this round are not to pleasing for me, but at least they go some way to stuffing up the negative theory put forward here. As for me, I'll be happy once this Centrals, Eagles era is done with, but I won't be condemning the competition as a whole purely because my team (and others') haven't been able to put a stop to another's deserved place in the sun.
Well done to the 'Dogs and Eag's for raising the bar, and long live the SANFL!

I would agree with you Sam ,BUT I saw the way the EAGLEs DESTROYED SOUTH ROUIND 1 .So I know they can play well .

That's right. It's up to the rest to catch up as has been stated a few times in this thread.

Your team just beat the team who were top after 3 rounds and still gutsaching? Shut up and piss off.

Wow, totally uncalled for.

No, your thread was uncalled for in the first place - I was just offering advice to help you get over your problem.

I attend the SANFL every week, so I'm entitled to a whinge every now and then I think.

How many else sat out in the pouring rain all day long?

I thought it was a fair comment, FFS, how less predictable can a comp get

[NFC]

Wow some people are touchy. I love the SANFL, but I'm allowed to say something negative from time to time.

Seriously, Centrals v Eagles again this year.

I am so sick and tired of how predictable this competition is.

In the League's history, two clubs have won around the sum of half of all League premierships, while three other clubs have picked up almost half the wooden spoons between them (one only existing since the 1920's.)

In the ten-team era, it was generally a given that most (or all) of West, Torrens, Woodville, South and Centrals would be missing come finals time.

Acknowledging sentiments already expressed in this thread, it's crystal clear the SANFL competition has been predictable for decades. Not much has changed in recent years, only that a few clubs have traded places.

Well done to the 'Dogs and Eag's for raising the bar, and long live the SANFL!

Hear hear.

You say the same about the Eagles every year. You're bound to be right sooner or later...

Do I? actually i think i have tipped them to be top 3 for atleast 3 of the last 4 years.
Another tip, Centrals to now hold top spot til 2008
