Hey mate i’m Cardy’s father and unfortunate news that he passed away
I know as a father its hard to comprehend
Unpopular opinion but Freo’s list is probably better than 2013 with 2 genuine forwards in treacy and amiss in 2025 vs 2013 when they had Pavlich as their main forward with Chris Mayne as an exceptional pinch hitter at centre half forward
Mayne was incredible back then but I agree, two genuine key forwards now
@@drewzy_ also great call on putting Hayden Young in the midfield. I must say that I was skeptical about the idea but what a player you can play him anywhere on the ground
Im not a freo supporter but genuinely agree although not as mature as that team, and im iffy on JL to be frank
I agree. On paper definitely a more talented team but I hate to say it 2013 team has more heart and seemed to want it more. Hopefully that changes this year ⚓
I definitely agree that there seemed to be more fight in the 2013 team than the current team but as a dockers fan I am putting it down to a lack of experience. Adding Bolton to the team should help them stand up in the pivotal moments in big games ie finals and the grand final (cue the heckling west coast fans)
100% spot on with your Essendon prediction. I chuck the Deez in there too... They're done 😅
Sydney will still make finals only coz of big Dean Cox with a new coach bounce... If they still had Horse I'd say nah, too mentally scarred.
Also If Max Holmes didn't do his hammy in the Prelim, Geelong more than likely would have beat Brisbane... Should be up there again with Bailey Smith ice in his veins.
Im a Pies supporter but from Perth and live in Adelaide...
I'll take a Pies, Freo or Crows flag anyday 🙏
I think Geelong with Smith will follow the same path of West Coast when Tim Kelly came in. It's scary how similar it is.
Not really. West coast severely overpaid for Kelly giving up multiple first rounders... Cats only gave up one first for smith... Smith also in his early to mid 20s whereas Kelly was prime years to late 20s
it’s not even close to comparable what 😂
@@mitchellkelly7023 I didn't mean in terms of what was given, that's negligible for the immediate aftermath, I meant the delusion in thinking they're still a threat couple years on despite being older and thinking a flashy new player is going to make the difference. It isn't. In for a shock like West Coast were 2020 onwards.
Heres my Ladder Predictions for 2025:
1. Hawthorn (I'm on the Hok train. They're going to have the scariest backline in the league with the likes of Sicily, Barrass, Battle, Scrimshaw, Impey, and Amon. There's no team more exciting then them)
2. Brisbane (The reigning premiers will be aiming to go back-to-back and I see them the most likely to succeed in the big dance with so many key players returning from injury. However, Joe Daniher is a big out for them as they can't replace him, but it'll let the lions look for more options in their forward line)
3. Fremantle (This is now their best chance to be known as Flagmantle. Introducing Shai Bolton into the forward line along with Brayshaw, Serong, and Young in the Midfield, and Pearce and Ryan in the Backline is making Freo no doubt their best chance of lifting their first cup in history. They're in my top 2 flag contenders)
4. Western Bulldogs (We all underestimated Luke Berveridge, forgetting that he is the most successful Bulldogs coach. Introducing Kennedy is gonna turn the Dogs midfield from 100 to 1000. The Bont is going to become the biggest Brownlow contender, and the young forwards (Ugle-Hagen, Darcy, Weightman) are ready to explode)
5. Geelong (With Bailey Smith entering their Midfield, These cats are ready to become what they were in 2022, premiership contenders)
6. Sydney (They were horrible in the 2022 Grand Final, 2024 they were way worse, Horse has called it quits, no Parker, they are gonna be under severe pressure in 2025, but they're just too good to not make finals. Heeney, Warner, and Gulden are building this Midfield that no doubt every team is gonna struggle beating)
7. Collingwood (My beloved Magpies will return to finals and that's a fact. With the inclusion of Dan Houston, Tim Membery, and Harry Perryman, we will become an unstoppable force. The reason I have them 7th is because we have a difficult fixture ahead of us, and Billy Frampton)
8. Adelaide (There's always a team that finishes in the bottom 4 and makes finals the next season since 2018-19. Look at Brisbane, St Kilda, Sydney, Collingwood, GWS, and Hawthorn. The crows could have taken a huge step backwards in 2024 before making a giant leap forward in 2025.)
9. Carlton (Even though I hate Carlton so much, they don't deserve to not make finals in 2025, they got great inclusions with Haynes and Smith, and Silvagni coming back from injury. However, they've lost Kennedy and Owies which could hurt the blues next season)
10. St Kilda (They're gonna be my team to watch in 2025. Their defence and forward line look great and if they finally nail their Midfield with the introduction of Jack Macrae, they'll make finals)
11. Gold Coast (Best season in 2024, I think they'll go 1 win better in 2025. They got strong talent in their team, a brilliant coach in Dimma with 3 premierships to his name, and a red shirt. Can't wait for the Suns to realise how bad their rebrand is. I'm sure they'll be more consistent than last year)
12. Port Adelaide (I feel like I'm underestimating Port and Ken Hinkley after a poor finals performance, but the reason I have them missing finals is that they have too many good players and I feel they'll put their talent to waste. Plus, I don't them in finals after Ken getting into hot water with Ginni and Sicily)
13. GWS (They reviewed the Semi-Final loss WAY TOO LATE (should have been one or two days after the loss). This club now has really deep scars that they're gonna bring into 2025. There's no way I see GWS making finals after choking winning margins in 2 Finals Series. They have lost 3 key players, brought in The Package who's in the twilight of his career, and Adam Kingsley might be haunted by those two finals. They need to take a big step backwards before taking a gaint leap forward back to finals)
14. Essendon (They're bad, but not that bad. They have unbelievable talent and a good coach in Brad Scott, but I feel like they have put some of the pieces in the wrong place, explaining how they missed finals this year)
15. North Melbourne (They have all the elements they need to get out of the bottom two, for a while, and with more experienced players in the team to inspire this young club, they can get out of the bottom 4 by 2026)
16. West Coast (The McQualter era has begun, but I think they'll need one more season to begin flying again)
17. Melbourne (The club has lost its culture and its spirit. Their forward structure is a huge mess, and key stars injured. I could see them losing winnable games. No wonder Clays and Trac wanted to leave)
18. Richmond (There's no other place I see the Tigers finishing. However, if they have a healthy list with less injuries, they'll do better than 2024)
Hey plonker, another great video. Loved the call putting the bombers where they belong and having Sydney missing finals!
Swans where dominate 3/4 of the comp last season. Have the same roster. Hoe they handle the gf lost will decide there place but do you honestly believe the roster that dominated 3/4 of the competition last season will miss the 8 altogether? I doubt it very much
I don’t think west coast will be worse then north and Melbourne
I can feel it this season for the Dockers. Firstly its about getting a top 4 spot first, and then go from there. Especially how they've traded and recruited in the off season which was phenomenal.
Cannot wait for 2025 Footy, Should be another ripping year of footy.
CARN THE DOCKERS, Good on ya Drewzy!
Fat chance
Fully rate the Freo list, scary good and may or may not be my pick for the flag!
Make up your mind
The list is there. Our foward line is worked on. We have bolton and narkle now, Treacy, jye, sturt, jackson, switta, banfield full foward, midifiled we are stacked we have caleb, andy and youngy, johnno erasmus , sharp and now murphy reid. Our backline is solid with moose, ryan, aish. The list is there this is the best list we ever had. If this team cant win a premiership in 3 years it will take us another 10-20+ years
My early 2025 ladder predictions:
1) Lions
2) Cats
3) Hawks
4) Dockers
5) Giants (if Stringer doesn’t get injured)
6) Blues
7) Pies
8) Dogs (if their lucky)
9) Swans (lost Parker slight problem)
10) Power (no Houston slight problem)
11) Saints
12) Crows
13) Roos (a big rise for me plus they just brought 3 super stars)
14) Suns (no chance for finals this year)
15) Demons (no Petracca big fall this year)
16) Bombers (not enough power need more)
17) Eagles (sorry Eagles fans but same with the Bombers plus you lost Darling)
18) Tigers (sorry Tigers fans but same EB & WCE)
Drewzy with the genius marketing of saying Essendon won't possibly make finals. Piss off a big fan base, get heaps of comments and engagement.
Then if it actually happens look like a genius. No downside at all.
😂
Thanks for the laugh 😊 GO BOMBERS
Daicos are good but the rest are getting old and lack key positional players, Collingwood will not play finals in 2025.
As a tiges fan, I'm hoping freo go alright. I think they have a squad that can compete for top 4. Shai bolton is also a dynamic they probably haven't had since Schultz, but he's far better in most facets of the game.
I wouldn't be surprised if it were a freo hawthorn granny.
Fremantle had added some firepower, the backline is strong, the midfield is the only concern particularly if injuries hit
Does a chatbot write your comments?
Midfield depth with Johnson, erasmus, brodie and some young fellas. Pretty stacked if you ask me
Was pretty happy picking up Murphy Reid in the draft
Not sure he'll play round 1, but his delivery and decision making skills look elite++
Wouldn’t say our midfield is a concern, brayshaw is AA caliber, serong is AA caliber, young is AA caliber, and then you let someone called bolton rotate through to help out along with darcy and jackson rotating through aswell with johnson, raz and brodie as depth
all respect mate only thing I would do put port in the top 2
As a Essendon fan, we are not making the finals, we will be like 12th or 13th. Merrett will not carry us, Durham, Caldwell, Langford, Wright, does a impact, when Mckay is good then he will be up there, Our defence need a little work tho. Also abt North I think they can get more wins, like big games close games, to the Crows, suns, Melbourne, west coast etc.
Injuries and luck will decide the winner this year as the competition is so tight, Fremantle fell away very quickly last season through couple injuries and so did Carlton sitting 2nd at round 20 with 15 injuries and it got worst playing almost the whole list, Brisbane had no luck at the start of the season and made their own luck to take out the flag and Sydney did everything right but win the flag, no matter who wins the premiership this season it will be a tough year for all.
Picking a top 8 right now is almost impossible think I will wait until round 10.
Freo has plenty of talent, but their kicking efficiency costs them
West coast is always put down... west coast is in middle of an aggressive rebuild but they will be fighting and I put them between 8 and 10!
More like 15th or 14th max.
What's scary about hawthorn is Mitch Lewis's return, Weddle is set to be freed up on the wing & there young fwd bargade in watto, cmac, ginni are only going to get better. Also players like Di'Ambrosio, Will Day, Newcombe & McKenzie are set too improve
Should be scary... Only thing that can stop them is if opposition have worked out their game plan
@MolGameVidz thing is... there game plan is very hard to stop since they rely on speed & running in waves through brute force/ chaos.
Back half rebound 50's could be stopped & create a few more turn overs, but Battle, Sic, Barass downback makes the defense line extremely safe that turn overs from rebound 50 won't matter that much- hawks will still bite the bullet
However Win contestant possession off hawthorn & u win- Geelong showed the blue print- pick em off slowly & get a easy kick inside 50
Which is exactly why barass & Battle are there now
@@Jayden_3742 I'm excited... Hope Frosty holds his spot though for entertainment factor
I'm probably wrong but I think the Hawks arrogance could see them drop off this year. There is always a team that surprises and then drops off the next year. Will be interesting to see how they handle the expectation. But definitely a team that has the ability to destroy teams
Freo will make a preliminary final but Justin doesn’t have what it takes to take you guys to the promised land
What makes you say that?
@ I feel like his game plan is outdated, too slow and methodical. Minimal risk which is all well and good but I don’t feel it’s going to stand up in big games. I’ve noticed a lot of games the past couple of years, good opposition can stack multiple goals in quick succession and dismantle your game a little too easy without having the answers. Maybe that comes down to being a younger, inexperienced side. I’m not sure but I don’t believe Justin is a premiership winning coach. In my opinion
@@Pullyaheadin92will? Let's wait and see what actually happens
@@stevelozevski8151did u like the prediction on Essendon?
@@Johny-jy5vo I could care less
I have Hawks finishing 11th on my Ladder predictor.
My Top 8 below Wins Loss Draw
1. Bulldogs 17/6/0
2. Sydney 16/7/0
3. Fremantle 15/7/1
4. Brisbane 15/8/0
5. Geelong 15/8/0
6. Adelaide 15/8/0
7. Port 14/9/0
8. Collingwood 13/9/1
9. Carlton 13/10/0
10. GWS 13/10/0
11. Hawthorn 13/10/0
If freo doesn't make finals, is JL on the chopping block? I just think where that list is at there's no where to hide if they miss again, although I think they will make it. Good vid plonker
I reckon we back him regardless
@@Bevtone in Longmuir we trust 🫡
Good predicions
Very good effort. My only changes I think the suns will finish 8th. The Dee’s. Will make the top 4. And the lions will go back to back. Match. Hardened and the Addition of all this. ACL injured. Players from last year there defence will be even stronger
Richmond are nailed on wooden spooners not just for 2025, but they'll bring up the hattrick in 2026. My pass mark for North is 8 wins which many will think is beyond them, but it is high time they start to deliver something with all the talent that has been assembled. Eight wins most likely still only lands 16th place, which is why trading the F1 away for peanuts was so idiotic.
As an essendon supporter, I agree with you
Swans always prove people wrong in the home and away season. Still we are an absolute disgrace and should be scrapped from the afl for our gf record
Actually think Demons may surprise a few this year, understand the cultural stuff etc, but they’ve been ravaged by big injuries to key players last two years. Have a great draw so if Trac, Oliver, Gawn, May and Lever can get a good run at it, I think top 6 is possible. So is Goodwin gone a month in! 😂 interesting watch.
I hope freo win the flag even though your biased asf. My tips the giants though Giants v Dockers GF!
I think it's coming but not this year. We should hit a prelim this year though I can't see why we couldn't
@ they ya I’m a dons fan they’ve been on the cusp for so long
You were nicer to my Saints than I thought you'd be, should have us in 1st but otherwise think you're pretty much on the mark
Freo, as my team, are top 4 this year or bust.
Enough is enough.
Coach sacked if we don’t go deep into the finals.
Can you seriously make a case for the blues if Cripps is injured or output from 2024 is down. The exact definition of a 1 man team. Swap the Pies and Cats with the Blues and Hawks and your list may have some substance to it.
Never tip Sydney (or Geelong) to miss finals!
Swans to go 25-0....and then get smashed in the Grand Final...Yet I'll be stupid enough to attend again
If so, hopefully they're not worse than last year. Worst performance I've seen from them
Ill never understand how essendon apparently moves down the ladder for getting rid of one of the biggest cultural issues at the club in Stringer. We will finish in 11th for the third year in a row.
Also by ur logic of essendon, freo wont get close to the flag, because they havent won a flag in their existence.
Essendon could easily finish bottom 4
@@lije3931they could but let's see what actually happens. Speculation at this time is pointless
@@stevelozevski8151 Not pointless, as it’s drives fun debates, which keeps the off season interesting, writing down your speculative opinions and reflecting on them in hindsight is a good way to grade/improve your analytical skills, what you mean to say is there's no point jumping to conclusions and getting emotionally invested like the person in the original comment
@@lije3931 I typed it's pointless because it's pointless. Spin it how you want but it doesn't change it from being pointless
@@stevelozevski8151 “it's pointless because it’s pointless” 🤣
we’re watching and commenting on someones video who will earn money from speculating, and earn more when he reacts to these predictions, that in itself disproves what your saying bro, give it a rest lol
It’s weird hearing a team who had the least points conceded after 24 rounds being described as a team with no defence. (Western bulldogs)
Little bit of cope regarding Lobb also as his previous coach clearly didn’t have the type of gift to send him back
How longs freo been in the league 30 years? You can’t really talk how many did the dons win in there first 30 years 5-6?
Don’t get me wrong dons are gonna finish bottom 4, but it’s because they’ve decided to focus on developing and player turn over for the next few years so it’s kinda a given then again i thought that last year and they played quite well for 17 rounds then injuries struck 🤷♂️ what they’ll do personally, but I think they’d finish bottom 4.
As a crows fan the only way we make the 8 is if Laird and Crouch don’t play the majority of the games this season
Disagree
Yeah no
Lets wait till round 6.
Gold Coast are not playing finals in 2025 they’re not a good club at all
Geelong should finish in top 2 or top 4 10 home games in 2025
Dan Houston will be a huge loss to Port Adelaide who already are vulnerable in defence
OSCAR MCINERNY TO REPLACE DANIHER
Mate, the Swans will be top 4. Sorry, you are just one of these, yes I'll say it, idiots who are just itching to write the Swans off. Big mistake.....FFS, no one ever learns.
lol
2022: Sydney were outcoached and outplayed
2024: Sydney were outcoached, outplayed, outworked and outmuscled and the 22 players are gonna live with it for the rest of their careers.
They're not make top 4, not a chance, but they ain't missing finals
@@prolegend10000 You might be right about the finals but they will still make the top four this year mate.....and they might even redeem themselves in the GF.
Freo not quite ready,,i,ll be happy with top6,,eagles will be better than bottom 4
Has Freo won a flag?
Typical weagles response. Enjoy finishing 15th with 7 wins this year
@SalvatoreSpade irrelevant team Freo... Grow some nuts
@@peterzhou2567 which one of the six wins did you enjoy this year
@@SalvatoreSpade I have no idea what your talking about my team won more then that.... Gosh Freo supporters are just methheads
Spot on, no Barass no Eagles ...
Best for Tiggies long term interest to finish bottom 2, and then hopefully collect more elite young talent. We will have North's first pick as well.
As a saints fan I think we can definitely play finals in 2025 and i’m confident with how we ended of our season UP THE SAINTS 🖤🤍❤️ and good video btw
Not a Saints fan, but I absolutely agree. If Macrae is the missing link to your Midfield, I'll see you in the 8
Dont count your chickens before they hatch my friend 😂
Geelong will make it to the grand final this season and hopefully win the flag
Will? Ok bud
@stevelozevski8151 geelong hopefully make it to the grand final my tip for this season
@@garrybhaints255 you originally typed will.
Geez everyone is overrating Adelaide lol we lose to many close games
Left the best until last
Skippy the bush kangaroo go north were one back up your mates reinforce any good efforts
My big call for afl in 2025 is Brisbane lions 10th i reckon Brisbane might have a premiership hangover and Adelaide crows to finish top 4
HAWTHORN BRISBANE GRAND FINAL BUT LIONS BY 15 POINTS
Hawks will drop off
I'll be back in 8 months just to laugh!
Actually it didn't take 8 months: You have 9 teams that you think will be in the top 8! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
CARLTON TO MISS TOP 8
Lots of lazy takes around on Essendon. Maybe know something about Essendon apart from Stringer leaving and then people should listen to you.
My Ladder Predictions
Giants
Lions
Dockers
Cats
Hawks
Swans
Pies
Dogs
Port
Blues
Suns
Crows
Saints
Roos
Dons
Eagles
Dees
Tigers
Saints are making finals
Dons fan just wanted to say ur right but I gotta say ur wrong cause…
COLLINGWOOD AND GEELONG TO MISS TOP 8
Geelong won't Collingwood might
Fremantle won’t be Premiers sorry buddy but Geelong will be 🔵⚪🔵⚪🔵⚪🔵⚪🔵⚪🔵⚪🔵🐈🐈
🙅♂️ no way
Tell me when Fyfe retires then i'll laugh at this prediction boring
Bet west coast do better than u free flogs think
Enjoy 15th on the ladder. Try not to get the spoon this time
Freo will choke
@@benjaminbethell8912 yeah choke your team out of the finals
All impressionistic how I feel stuff. Prefer podcasts who do stats breakdowns
Boring
Again GWS are a joke and they'll never win a flag seeing them go out in straight sets was so satisfying nice predictions real smart not
Not to mention they have really deep mental scars after choking the semi-final. They needed to review it one or two days after the loss, but they waited till the off-season allowing these scars to dig deeper and deeper. I think they'll be bottom 6 with less than 10 wins.
Freo will not make top 4
We have the list we must make top 4. Aiming for a prelim final is a must
