[@WillGibson-vy4eu]

Personally I don’t think dogs will loose to the blues, we have the better midfield and more variety on our forward, and knowing Carlton they’ll have injuries

[@dramoth64]

I seriously don't think that Carlton will finish in 8th. They'll be a top 4 team. Hawthorn winning 18 is never going to happen. They are good but not that good. Dogs will be around 8th and Collingwood aren't as good as you think they are. They'll finish 9th.

[@mickryles759]

I hate to be that guy in the comment section.. but you spelt Insane wrong

[@coolcoconuts4453]

Honestly Port around mid table is completely valid. Our defense will be SHOT now that Houston is gone and we've seemed to have gone the path of "the best defence is a good offense" with our off season recruits even though our defence was already shoddy this year

[@zw5783]

Your point is valid but I’m hoping with new look to our forward line (SSP, Rioli, Richard’s, Berry, Luko, Mitch, lord, Whitlock) I’m hoping we can dominate in our forward as we have never really been much of a defensive style team anyways. Plus Logan was a freak for us this season gone so he is already shaping to takeover Houston’s role, we have heaps of other halfbacks

[@coolcoconuts4453]

@zw5783 This is true, if everyone fires on all cylinders it's a pretty potent forward line, especially if Pep plays the full season.

[@br0cky226]

Ports draft recruits imo arent ready for AFL level, maybe berry only. Richards, Lorde and Whitlock are going to be your weak links 100% up there. no backline, as youve said, got them missing the 8

[@blade5883]

Poort power to go down down down hahaha

[@GhostOfRT300]

Cats will be lucky to make the 8 Blues will be playing deep, deep into Finals

[@zac9155]

hey jesse reckon you can do one of these on the true eagle channel going into depth for the eagles games?

[@meow_gamblingaddict]

I've done a similar thing but awarded a % of an expected win to each match and have wildly different results to this. A genuine 50/50 matchup gives 0.5 of a win to each team which obviously won't happen too often, but Melbourne will be the surprise packet IMO

[@bakiunicorn]

you're home and away season generated a top eight that I am quite aligned with. I feel Sydney and Port will drop out. I expect Freo to challenge, hawks to have a bonanza season, cats to keep on keeping on, and the magpies to challenge again. Can't help but think that the bombers will be the big news story and Brad Scott to be coaching for his career in 2026 (not sure his style is up to speed in the modern game)

[@danieljoyce4015]

Do you think the Hawks could drop this season? A lot more pressure on them

[@epicindian1013]

Hey Jesse great to see you again hope everything’s all well feels like a little since I saw your video but again hope all is well mate

[@Dilmahteabags]

Agree the teams you have in the top 8 will be there however I reckon it will look more like Geelong Fremantle Collingwood Brisbane Hawks Carlton Giants Bulldogs

[@Drobson18]

You got very carried away with the Hawks 🤣 Still a very young list and other teams will be studying their game plan (and how to stop them), not sure they'll cope too well with that. Port probably finish top 4 if JHF breaks out and Rozee is injury free again

[@BDub2024]

[@BDub2024]

@@Johny-jy5vo Sides don't always keep improving each year. Its not unusual for a team to drop away for a year or two before it rises back up the ladder. Hawk have had a bit of luck and certainly played better than their talent would indicate. But they could easily be worked out, cop a few injuries, have players that believe their own publicity... and suddenly they lose a few games and they dont play with the same confidence. Barras is a star, that's no doubt. But I think they'll play finals likely but not expecting much more. I think these teams will be competing for finals too. Brisbane Sydney GWS Carlton Power Geelong Freo. Bulldogs Suns Melb Coll and Hawks.

[@MozartificeR]

I would like to see you revisit it at the halfway point of the season. And do it again, and calculate it at the end of the season before finals. And do the first half + the second half tips, and total them. If you have a website, encourage viewer participation:) LOL I don't think that the Dee's are immune to finishing last. But, it will depend on how much work they have done, that should be evident in round 1. But, if they have done the work they can probably finish in the top 6.

[@MozartificeR]

I love when finals comes along. And people try to predict the whole finals just before it starts.

[@windyhillbomber]

[@matthewpeters2654]

If dogs are 4-5 at round 9 you can expect bevo to be sacked.

[@midniteshadow3702]

I think Geelong losing to the Giants at the G is a little bit surprising, the cats have only added to their list while the Giants lost quite a few good players this year, Geelong is also normally one of the best performing teams in finals, they got caught slacking this year against Brisbane, if they stay away from that one I think the cats have a good chance next year, same as the Pies and the Hawks, Brisbane I'm also giving a shot simply because they're the reigning premiers, but losing Joe Daniher could hurt them plenty, so I'd give em less then the others.

[@davidanderson5372]

I'd be happy if Bombers and Demons finish like that as that will give us pick 4 and 5 in the 2025 draft

[@JGDazza]

Port will 100% play finals. 13 games at home, should win 9 or 10 of them. Should be able to win 4-5 away from home.

[@spindoctor6385]

I like the faith shown in my Hawks, I am not as optimistic for finishing first though. I would almost rather not make finals than have the Cats beat us in a final (that never happens) I think you showed too much faith in Carlton. You will be right that Essendon finish bottom four. I would be surprised if thr Swans finish outsidr of finals.

[@evan08rhys09]

Im a Crows fan but I'm more of a realist than most of the optimistic whingers in our fan base. I think 13 wins and 9th is optimistic considering we still have big questions hanging over us like can we win away, can we win the close games, can we close out games when we're well in front at 3 quarter time, if Tex doesn't fire then who will stand up and kick our bags of goals for us and will we actually blood new kids and in their appropriate positions or will Matthew "Pyke2.0" Nicks continue with using his favourites and senior players even when they're not performing or costing us games.

[@zw5783]

Port fan - I’m hoping with an entirely new look on the forward line we can perform better and maybe even a grand final appearance, but reality says otherwise 😭😭 we easily could be top 8 again, but we could easily miss it to

That would be nice if North beat swans in Melbourne it last happened in 2007

[@nickohhh23]

I did a ladder with you and I would split the score so if you said win by 18 and I think win by 6 I will do win by 12 because it’s in the middle. Very interesting result because every team in the top 8 has 14 wins. It was all based on percentage. 14W 9L Lions 116% Dogs 110% Giants 109% Cats 108% Freo 107% Hawks 107% Pies 104% Swans 101% 13W 10L Blues 107% Power 104% Dons 102% Crows 101% 12W 11L Suns 99% Saints 96% 9W 14L Demons 100% 5W 18L Kangaroos 85% 4W 19L Eagles 77% 1W 22L Tigers 75% This will never happen but it’s hilarious
