What is yours?

Thanks for putting the remaining rounds in.. Next couple of weeks should set the 4 I reckon.. Swans have Peel Twice so are certainities

My ladder
CLA
WP
Swans
EP

Perth have a hard run home but if they can win a couple of the big ones and EP lose a couple they could squeeze in. Would be good to see.
EF have a chance as a couple of easy ones to kick off the round.. I suspect it will come down to other losers and winners though.

George I will throw the ladder up as well to give people an idea on the points in each grade.. Will update it each week

Current Ladders

Have made my top 4 prediction in an earlier post, and that view has not changed. It's difficult to see Claremont and West Perth losing their spots in the top 4. Swan Districts seem to be powering along and the 4th spot on the league ladder seems up in the air between Perth and East Fremantle. But the Sharks are two games out of the top 4. The Demons have a bye in Rd 19 whereby a Fremantle derby being played. And the way Souths are playing, East Fremantle would not wish to take that game lightly. East Fremantle can still jump into the top 4 at the expense of Perth if the Demons get wonky. I think Subiaco are gone but the run home to the finals is going to be interesting indeed.

Would like to have a go at this one, but I can't predict when my grass need mowing!!
One thing is for sure, the Sharks will have to play above themselves to grab a top 4 spot.

They will probably need to win all six remaining matches to make the four!

Hard to say that.. If they won 5 it would put them on 44.. Depends on so many factors as I said above.. Wins/Losses by Perth-Swans-EP.. How many times do these teams play each other which negates one team in that game.
Lots of Variables. But then again we should know in the next 2/4 weeks but then maybe not Great comp. WP are not set in concrete in second. SF this week then EP the next week we lose both of them and we are back in the mix..

Shit how long is a piece of String..

Fourth Spot will need 12 wins or 11 with a very healthy percentage.

1)Clar
2)WP

3)Swans
=====================================================================


4)Perth, EP, EF - these are the only ones that can make it.

Swans v EP this week/if EP loose and Perth and EF win that may well rattle EP.

Far too early to call which is great.

Very tough for us to make the 4 because we need to pull back 2 games from 3 sides. To have any chance we would need to win all 6 remaining games & rely on other results to go our way.

My top 4 would be


Claremont
West Perth
Swan Districts
East Perth

CL WP SD and would love to say Perth......but in all honesty, I reckon WCE will use the dreaded DRS and ensure EP sneak into the finals.

Why?... well supposedly a lot of folk here believe the AFL own the WAFL and part of the agreed alignment package was, that one out of the local AFL clubs had to be represented come the WAFL finals!!

If I was Malaxos I'd be focusing on the 100k from the foxtel final.....huge ask to for EF to win all 6 remaining games....esp v Cl, SD, WP and Per.....100K please!.....could use it to entice Smith, Johnson and Lammie to the club for next season!
