2021 Wooden Spoon

[B4Bear]

I don't disagree. Hard to compare averages with a 4 game sample size.
Rebound 50s was a good example. Rowell had one good game of 6 and the other three were 2, 1 and 2, but it skewed his average. Walsh was more consistent, despite not reaching as high as 6, consistently racking up 3s, with a couple of 4s.
Inside 50s was another one. Rowell's average was only marginally below Walsh's (2.75 to Walsh's 3.05). Rowell had games of 2, 3, 3 and 3, whereas Walsh had 8 games of 4s and 5s and a 6.

About the only fair comparison would be their first 4 games:

4 games is not a sample, it is white noise.

4 games is not a sample, it is white noise.

Especially when 3 of them were against no opponent.

Suns a chance also despite having a lot of talent they are still very young

Unless they have a terrible run of injuries there’s no chance GC finish bottom. More likely to finish top 6 then last.

 

[JayJ20]

Any love for the demons? I thought they were kidding with 24 inside 50s conceded in a quarter

Doggies throws are an open joke though

Not even close. They had Oliver, Brayshaw, Viney, Weideman, Brown, Hibberd and Salem missing against a full strength Bulldogs.

Crows look like they will be thereabouts again.

Huge chance. Quinella Roos and us and you can't go wrong. Only question is the order.

They're not getting Brown or Weideman back any time soon, and the others will be underdone won't they?.

With Goodwin in the coaches box it's possible.

May well be the case but can you see a path forward with youth recruitment by the club. Can see it with North

Sure but finishing last? Nah.

Those players would be back way before the end of the season if all goes well. Dogs smashed Melbourne's midfield and most of their mids were missing today so I wouldn't read too much into it.

They'll probably be given a 1st round priority pick even if they do finish top 6

Recruitment is ok in terms of youth. Playing them ahead of cooked seniors and lifetime plodders is our major issue.

 

[JPetro83]

Pre season optimism is gone.. i had the feeling that maybe the Crows could win 7 games.. but after the past 2week.. we wont win more than 2 or 3. We are a lock for the spoon

 

[Jade]

North has to be favourite.

But geez Hawthorn are RUBBISH - they might challenge.

 

[AnEmptyChair]

Hard to go passed us and Adelaide atm with Hawthorn and Sydney or Essendon rounding out the bottom four, but all those teams will likely be at least 2-3 wins ahead of the bottom two.

 

[Bleeeeeeeeep]

I hope Noble got the memo that we don’t finish last.
Second last fine, but spoon is a sackable offence.

Reckon Bombers are a Monty.

Mentally weak.

 

[WWSD]

It will be a fight between North Melbourne and Essendon.

 

[hoddo22]

It will be a fight between North Melbourne and Essendon.

Bombers and Kangas meet in round 10 if the fixture stays as it is.

Good chance they'll both be 0-9.

Essendon will win enough games to avoid it, they will be get enough games to be played like the 2nd quarter for longer periods for them to win

Odds on a draw please?

They are so young though. North should get it though they are awful

No idea! Still on a high after the Gulden Fill Up!

Both those sides look horrible but jeez the Pies could easily get it! It’s a worry when they have no mids and their forward line is horrendous! I’d hate to know how bad they’d be if Moor gets injured again!

agreed.

 

[My Cotchin Rules]

Carlton to reclaim its rightful crown...isn't that right BoundbyKreuze?

 

[who_let_the_dogs_out]

Between Essendon or North for mine. Probably Essendon.

Adelaide showed signs they can be competitive during the back half of this season, you can rule them out.

My post on the first page on the money so far. Essendon doesn't get their first win till round 9, and that game is touch and go as well. Going to be a long year Bombers.
