Halfway through the season, so I thought I'd drag this back. Looks like I'm no Nostradamus

Windy may be the most accurate one to date.....

It's always interesting to have a look at these predictions. I'm hoping my prediction of 11th won't be true come the end of the year.

You guys can start calling me Nostradamus, I reckon I am on the money in almost every category

bump

Still a little bit of time before final results are in.

Either way, most of out predictions were way out. Only a handful had us finishing 8th. Lot of money on Geelong to win the flag. Jobe a strong candidate for the B&F

Hop looks like he got the closest (assuming the Cats win on Sat)

No body has picked the Saints for the Flag?
