How's everyone going? With the playoffs getting near, excitement is building and each team should get prepared for the last few weeks of regular season and the playoffs, relegation series.
Seems like most people in this league have shown up in this tread and that's a good sign. It would be great if someone have time to do a end-of season analysis including each team's power and the prediction of the final conference ranking, also the chance for each team to win their rounds in the playoffs. That person would be you Matty (jks jks).
I will briefly state my opinion here as i have got time now in the holidays.
With the Big 8, the top 3 spots is locked, with Urmumma, Roasters and the Cheaters. The 4th Spot here is most likely the Legends, but they still have a game with Hawthorn and that will directly effect the outcome. But no matter who will be in the 4th position the Urmummas is just a team with greater power. With the Roasters and the Cheaters, the game yesterday showed that with the same effort played Cheaters still lost by 12 points despite the HCA, the 4 and 5 seems too weak at the moment. However the Cheaters still have a chance to win if they try CTE in the game against Roasters, although that will result a straight lost with the Urmummas and that only achieved vanity. Same apply to the Roasters, I doubt they will give the best against the Cheaters. Would be a great game if Urmummas meet the Roasters in the conference finals. If that's the case, I will pick Urmummas because of their HCA and likely a higher enthusiasm. With the 6th, 7th and 8th spot, the Wigs has to get at least two wins before the regular season ends to prevent relegation as a bottom team, they already played Miami and Legends, if the game against the Prides is one of the game they try to win, Hawthorn is the other team where they should try their best. The Miami should stay at 8 wins for the remainder of the season. If the Prides win another game before they meet the Wigs it should be fine for them to prevent 8th.
This would be it for now and if people can join this discussion and state their own will and opinion it would be great.
It's just a brief analysis if the reaction is fine I will write more.
Looking forwards to the discussion,
