Get a guys welcome back to my YouTube channel now today. I thought I would take predictions to the next level. I'm going to tip every game of the 2023 AFL season to get a definitive latter predictions. Normally I do my latter predictions and it's just off the cuff. It's just from the top of my head. I just make it up on the spot. So let's leave no stone unturned on tipping. The entire 2023 AFL season. Let's work out what my final letter is. Alright the blues win in that first game. The cats. Get off to a great start. I reckon North beat West Coast round one. The Lions beat the power. I reckon the D's beat the dogs. I reckon the Suns beat the Swans. Adelaide beat GWS. GWS I'm predicting is going to be a long long way down. The Hawks are beat the bombers. Poor dogs in the Lions. That's a cracking game. Well that's what we've got done. She's free on the cats are off to a fly here. Round eight and the blues are on top of the minute. I don't have JWS with a wean up into a round beat thing. Sorry. Well there's a bit to dissect here isn't there. The Lions phenomenal season. You know I think kicking the D's out of the finals last year. It was their grand final last year. They had celebrated like they had won it all. It's a bit of a dry fight. But I think that was a bit of a turning point for them. Obviously they weren't good enough to beat the all conquering JLF and not many teams were. They were an outstanding team in 2022 but I feel like that that Lions win will propel them momentum wise for a big season in 2023. I have the Lions finishing on top. They're only dropping four games because of the extra round. They've won 19 games. That is a phenomenal season. That is unbelievable to go through a year and pinch 19 wins. So that's a very dominant year for the Brisbane Lions. I have JLF finishing second now. People probably won't be surprised but when I did my season predictions which comes out next week. I didn't have the cats in the top four because there's always four sexier teams that you think should make the top four. It's always the Lions, the Tigers, the Blues this year, the D's, the Swans, the Dockers. As always that four to six teams that you always go G's. I think they'll make the lead and I always count out the cats and they prove me wrong every year so I don't have them in my top four in my season predictions but going through and tipping every game they bank so many games at G-MHBA when you actually compare them to their fixture. They win obviously more games than they lose. They've won 18 games in my prediction so unbelievably the cats just keep on keeping on in a finished second. Now I've had some people tell me that the D's won't make the four recently and it's sort of rattled me a little bit because I thought the D's making the four was a bit of a four gone conclusion. I know that we gassed out towards the end of last season. We sort of had a two year campaign. It started at the start of 2021 and essentially the boys were just all football between 2021 all the way through to getting knocked out in straight sets at the end of 2022. They didn't really have time to refresh after the season. You saw what sort of a toll it took on the Western Bulldogs after going through that whole year of 2021. They obviously didn't bounce back as well as they probably should have in 2022 so the D's gased out in every game that we lost were up by five goals. Usually in the third term we probably should have manhandled a couple of those games that we squandered. I just think we've still got a gear to go to. We played some bang average footy last year. I thought we should have won every game we were in. So I've got the D's finishing third. There's some teams that we just can't beat. I've got us losing to the pies. We always seem to lose to the pies. We always seem to lose to Jalong. I've got us losing to Jalong. I can't remember who else I tipped to beat the D's but there was a couple of middle of the road teams that sort of knock us off as well. If the D's can finish third again I'll be proud. I just want to witness a sustained successful football team. If we can finish top four three years in a row that's a big tick for me. The Blues have a very tasty fixture so I've got them sliding up into the four but look at the percentage between them and the types. It's 2%. It's actually nothing like when you do the predictions you just work in a random margin so I wouldn't really be massive on that. Look at the teams below them. So I've got Carlton finishing four but the swans and the dockers are a game and the same percentage so that is going to be tight. That's he's going to be super, super tight this season. That race for the top four. It always is tight. Yeah, look between the D's and the swans. There's not much of a gap. So obviously the tie-egs, the dockers, the swans can solidate after a pretty good year in 2022. The pies sneak into the eight. I didn't really think that they would sneak into the eight. I felt like potentially they might miss this year but when I did the predictions they had banked the wins the pies which is really exciting. They've obviously pipped the power here by not that much percentage. The power I was tipping against early when I was doing this but they started to collect wins towards the back end of the season so get excited for a big power surge late in the year. The hawks. I don't know. I'm pretty bullish on the hawks. They were banking wins left right in centre so the hawks I think could finish higher than what people think. Will the hawks finish higher than the sun's this year? I know the sun's meant to make that next leap but I just had the hawks banking wins and playing some good foodie. Let's hop down to the bottom of the ladder. I didn't think North would finish last again. It's very rare that teams win like three or four wooden spoons in and amongst similar seasons so I think they'll do better than two wins. That would be catastrophic if they won just two games but obviously when you're going off the tipping which is pretty much the favourites from last year you're going to get a similar result for a team like North Melbourne. GWS are working on the slider. I reckon they're the team that really drop off this season. I think I had them 0 and 17 or 0 and 18 when I was doing the tipping and I thought Jesus I probably should give them a couple of wins. The crows people are expecting to slide again. I don't know what to read for the crows. I think the crows will have a better year than West Coast but I'm not expecting huge things from the underlaid football club. West Coast I think it'll just be bottom four again. You know maybe not last last but there's nothing that really excites me on their list. They're very very old. They've really aged in the last couple of years. 2018 was five years ago. So every player that was 27-28 in their problem back then who won the flag. They're now in their 30s. Yeah I just don't see the West Coast Eagles firing. Essendon I think it's another sort of patient year for them. I said this a couple of years ago. I said they'll get worse before they get better. Everyone jumped on me obviously because I tipped them for the spoon and they finished in the top eight but I just thought with that young crop coming through that they would get worse before they got better and they saw it are and that's okay. I think they're just doing a little bit of a regroup. Brad Scott's first year. No expectations. I think they'll win a couple of good games but I think they'll lose more than they win. Unfortunately. The Sain is under Ross. I think he's going to really shake that football club up and they're going to have another sort of regroup year. It's not a rebuild for the Saints but it is a bit of a shake up again. The Western Bulldogs, the Saints and the Power for me are just in no men's lands. Like you know they're sort of teams that have lived in the middle of the ladder for a long long time and you know I've supported the days who have done that for a long long time. The Blues have done that for a long long time. They lived in the middle of the ladder and haven't quite gone anywhere. So it's either up or down for these teams. They've got to make a decision what they're doing. Is the Bulldogs going really young with their key position players? You know, you see him Darcy, Jamar, you go Hagen. Bloody what's his name, businger. Are they going to go really young with their keys and sort of just you know bring a bit of youth in, drop off for a couple of years and bounce back or are they still trying to pinch it with this same crop. And then the Gold Coast Suns obviously a bit of improvement but I don't think that's enough improvement. I think finishing 11th for the Suns is a bit of a fail. They have to start making that top you know eight, nine ish sort of ladder positions. I don't think finishing 11th is a pass mark for the Gold Coast Suns this season. Alright guys that is my ladder predictions. Obviously I went through and tipped pretty much the favourites from last season. I'm a complete nuffie who knows very little about the sport unfortunately. So I'd like to know your opinions. I want to be informed. I want to be educated. Wack down your opinions in the comments. I'll be sure to comment and reply to most of them because I want some knowledge going into this football season. Let me know if I've put some teams too high. Let me know if I've put some teams too low. I'd love to have a bit of a yarn with you guys in the comments down below. Once again guys I really appreciate the support. I appreciate everyone tuning in and I'll see you for some more content very very soon. Cheers guys.
