Seriously, what kinda vice grip do the higher ups at Carlton have on the AFLs balls
Those games still have to be won nothing is a certainty especially as it’s Carlton.6 wins guaranteed. Collingwood and Melbourne 50/50 as the two are neutral venues anyway.
They ll be replacing someone in the top 4.

It’s appallingly obvious levels of inner sanctum corruption. But the league continually just waves it through. Grubs.Seriously, what kinda vice grip do the higher ups at Carlton have on the AFLs balls
Clearly your footy IQ is zero. They did the blockbuster trade that brought in the superstar winger, Acres. Pretty sure that’ll shore up the entire group. You should educate yourself and read more of the Vic media. Carton will lose one game max.Won't it be funny when they don't make finals
With the fixture we got, nobody should Doubt our credentials if we make finals, even If we get 8th spotMy main take away is that nobody can doubt our credentials when we win the flag.
An easier draw isn’t always advantages in the long run. Better to work for it so when the whips are cracking you are ready, if you have a soft run, you don’t get to the end game when you aren’t prepared.This fixturing variable highlights how ****ed the AFL is. They are desperate for certain clubs to rise up the ladder. Carlton and Essendon are two. They will ALWAYS get an easier set of fixtures than their previous years finishing position deserves.
Having 6 extra games for the AFL to hand select the permutations that suit their favourites is well and truly an example of how incapable the AFL is of being truly fair to all 18 clubs.
Spot on, Carlton is the perfect example of this point.An easier draw isn’t always advantages in the long run. Better to work for it so when the whips are cracking you are ready, if you have a soft run, you don’t get to the end game when you aren’t prepared.
Terrible metrics, look at the one on the AFL site instead
I wouldn't read into it much at the start of the season, 5 rounds in when teams find their feet will be a better judgeSquiggle Ladder Predictor doesn't like our fixtures: it has us finishing 12th with a 9-14 record!

I'm expecting us to be a stronger side next year (because of natural development of our young list, Fyfe's return and the footballers we have brought in being better and more committed than the ones who left), so unless the competition standard increases we're not sliding. As you allude to, fixture assessments are based on outdated data (the previous year's results). It only takes 3-4 sides to significantly under or over perform (usually the case) for pre-season forecasts based on fixture difficulty to fly out the window.I wouldn't read into it much at the start of the season, 5 rounds in when teams find their feet will be a better judge
But yes, we have the hardest fixture in the league so expect a slide this year
Dees may walk away with a top ten for Jackson in the end!
Squiggle's auto-tip predictor has built in randomness. I ran it approx 10x and Freo had 10-12 wins. Worryingly consistent but I'm not worried. Nearly all the tippers forecast similarly for the Purple in 2022. They obviously underestimated the awesome power of the colour purple and still do.Squiggle Ladder Predictor doesn't like our fixtures: it has us finishing 12th with a 9-14 record!

good points - we finished 5th when no so called "experts" predicted it. We could finish top 2 next year and I bet no one will guess that, even here. We could also slide and finish outside the 8, the game is still that unpredictable. I saw people with YT channels picking Essendon and Port to make the 8 last season, some even had Geelong sliding outside the 8 (!). In other words, nobody really knows...not even ex-players and 'experts'.Squiggle's auto-tip predictor has built in randomness. I ran it approx 10x and Freo had 10-12 wins.
