Ladder predictions for 2013

[Jim05]

I had them for top 5 last year and they burnt me so they can gefugged

[am Bays]

everyone seems to be writing Port off, take a good look at their side.

I have and its rubbish.
They were an ordinary side last year and I think their outs far outweigh their ins.
I would be very surprised if they dont finish bottom 3

Clubs don't make finals based on their best sides on paper they make it based on players ranked 15-25, the depth players who will need to come in and play good footy when the inevitable injuries start to occur and AFL call ups.

That was Centrals strength for so long and Norwood's last year a squad that had depth and a bench that would make every other club's league team. You couldn't say that about any other club's bench, making Centrals league team for so long and Norwood's last year.

That's why I have doubts about two clubs who most people on here think will make finals.

you're a bigger troll than me!

[areaman]

Norwood will be top 3.

Sturt will be bottom 2.

Anything else is a blind stab in the dark in my opinion! Nothing would surprise me.

Eagles, Central and North to work out who comes second.

Port, West and South for the consolation September action.

Sturt and the Bays sand the spoon down for smooth entry.

Cant believe the negativity towards the Bays, they have IMO recruited the best of all clubs with some real quality and only lost one league regular from 2012.

Look forward to seeing some egg on faces...

Not sure the Bays have recruited the best of all clubs but I do think they will be around the 5 and should (big should) finish ahead of Port.

[The Sleeping Giant]

My turn.

Norwood
South
North
West
Centrals
Glenelg (sorry dutchy)
Eagles
Port
Sturt

I think I have picked south to finish 2nd for the last 3 years. Never learn.

Who are the real quality recruits you speak of and where do you expect them to play?

IMHO, the Bays INS are equal with their OUTS so I don't see much improvement from them.

GLENELG:

In: Dylan Gamble (Mt Burr), Carl Slape (Kybybolite), Tom Clurey (via Port Power), Tim Klaosen (via Adelaide Crows), Andrew Hooper (Western Bulldogs), Boyd McCurry (Port Lincoln), Hayden Jolly (Gold Coast / returning), Lachlan Roach (Adelaide Uni / North Adelaide), Darcy Arnfield (Clare / returning), Dylan McNeil (Sydney), Tim Walsh (former Port Magpie), Ryan McInerney (former Port Magpie), Shaun Tapp (NT Thunder)

Out: Nathan Stark (Melbourne), Ben Kennedy (Collingwood), Tim O'Brien (Hawthorn) ,Brodie Murdoch (St Kilda), Shannon Snook (South), Sam Rudolph (retired), Daniel Kirk (Eagles), Drew Clayfield (delisted), Josh Giddings (delisted), Clint Diment (delisted), Scott O’Shaughnessy (delisted)

[mighty_tiger_79]

well I agree with Dutchy that our INS are far better then what the OUTS are

but just gonna take some time to gel together

no doubt Rudolph is a big loss, but i believe the leg speed and skills of Hooper through the middle and in and around goals will more than compensate that.

other players listed both ins and outs are just fringe league players at best

My go

North
Norwood
South
Centrals
Glenelg
West
Port
Sturt
Eagles

[RB]

Norwood
Central
Eagles
Glenelg
South

West
North
Port
Sturt

Really hard to predict it this year. Only safe bet is that the Bays won't win any finals.
