I just did the ladder predictor, which was interesting. http://www.afl.com.au/bailey%20ladde...6/default.aspx I've essentially got the Crows running through to the end as minor premiers, just because they have an easy run. If we lose to the Pies and the Hawks, we'll come in third. If we lose to just the Pies, we'll come in second. Lose to a third team (it doesn't matter who), we'll still finish third.
Whats' really really interesting is the Bombers, Eagles and Pies. In round 22, the Eagles play the Pies and the Bombers then play the Pies in the final round 23. The results of those games are critical to all three teams because a loss will toss one out of top four contention plus the outcome of a match also affects the third team that doesn't play.
My ladder comes out at Crows, Hawks, Swans and Eagles in the top four, and that's fairly conservative in that it assumes we lose to the Hawks.
