First, let me begin by making predictions for the final finish on the 2011/12 A-League Ladder. Maybe I’m swayed by last minute moves, both positive and negative, but the following is my guess, in descending order.
1. Melbourne Victory
2. Brisbane Roar
3. Sydney FC
4. Central Coast Mariners
5. Adelaide United
6. Perth Glory
7. Melbourne Heart
8. Wellington Phoenix
9. Gold Coast United
10. Newcastle Jets
Next are my picks for the first round of the season. I’ll be predicting scores and then keeping track throughout the season. If you’d like to venture a guess, please add it in the comments and I’ll also note those who chime in on a regular basis.
