Honesty time: After that game 1 this year, I actually thought about backing Hawthorn for the top 8. Luckily, I decided to hold off for a game or two. GOOD DECISION!!!

By the way, in my pre-season predictions, I had Collingwood finishing 2nd!!! That's one prediction I'm SO GLAD went terribly wrong.

This was the way I predicted the ladder would be after the home and away season:
1 Port Adel
2 Collingwood
3 Brisbane
4 St Kilda
5 West Coast
6 Essendon
7 Sydney
8 Fremantle
9 Hawthorn
10 Geelong
11 Adelaide
12 Kangaroos
13 Richmond
14 Melbourne
15 Carlton
16 W.Bulldogs

Well, I guess I had 3 of the top 4 right, and most of the teams are reasonably close, but look where I had Melbourne and Geelong. I should have taken more notice of the pre-season form. And as usual, I under-rated the Kangaroos. West Coast have been disappointing, although I wasn't to know they would lose Gardiner. That's made a big difference I think.

Anybody else have some opinions earlier in the year that have turned out to be totally ridiculous. Come on, own up. :smile:
