Top 8 chance

[Benny]

I'm going to take Collingwod, Carlton, Kangaroos, and Melbourne for next years top 8.

I give Collingwood a 40% chance. Carlton 46%, Kangaroos 42%, and Melbourne 57% chance.

What do you think theses teams chances are as a %? Look forward to some of your predictions.

Happy punting.

Good luck. Better wait to see what they're paying first.

Personally, I wouldn't be backing Melbourne as it's an odd number year next year and for some totally inexplicable reason which I can't work out, Melbourne only ever seems to do well in even numbered years like this one.

Sportz, what are the numbers?

Also remember that all trends come to an end, maybe this is the year?

[sportznut]

Mr J, it's only a fairly recent trend, but it is a pretty scary one for anyone backing them to make the finals next year. You're probably right though. I guess it has to come to an end soon.

Melbourne's recent record:

2004 - made finals (5th)
2003 - missed finals (14th)
2002 - made finals (6th)
2001 - missed finals (11th)
2000 - made finals (2nd)
1999 - missed finals (14th)
1998 - made finals (4th)
1997 - missed finals (last)

I recon Adelaide Crows would be a good bet also

And whos spot are Collingwood, Carlton, Adelaide, and North going to take in the 8.
The only team who is likely to drop out is bombers.
Ill be having bets on SAINTS, CATS, WEST COAST AND SWANS to win the 2005 flag. This will be Brisbane's last one IMO.

They haven't won yet!!!
