Game Day 2024 Non-Swans Game Day

[Heeney2Franklin]

If we can avoid Port Lions or Dogs in a knock out game, guaranteed gf. We match up fine on the rest

I think Travel advantage will be massive in this finals campaign the bye will probably effect Hawthorn momentum

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

About 90+ each

Its wayyy more than that Port have to make up ~200 points its not gonna happen we would have to lose by 150+ to even factor in %

Swans
PF 2121
PA 1679
126.3%


Power
PF 1924
PA 1685
114.2%

QF is free vs Geelong.

Hope we draw Port in the Prelim. Don’t rate them at all in high stakes matches esp at the SCG.

I want Port in a grand final. What better way to end the hoodoo and reverse 8 years of shit against the boys in teal.

People sometimes dump on our leaders for not being there when the pressure goes up but my god, the media golden child Cripps absolutely went to water when the game was there to take. Seven minutes left and two points down and he has a run of possessions that goes:
1. Shorts a kick to a wide open player
2. In the follow up to help from his kick, gets the ball, gets tackled and passes it out to no one .
3. Next possession a few minutes later gets caught dead HTB.
4. Next possession kicks the ball directly to Aliir.

Not his fault that he gets pumped up by the media but sheesh, the narrative and reality can be a long way apart when talking about Victorian team stars.

Just want to quote myself here and link to the article where the number one thing that was learnt this week is how great Cripps is, after beating up on West Coast: https://www.afl.com.au/news/1195486...ck-cripps-has-the-broadest-shoulders-in-footy

But Carlton are in the 8 now, if that doesn't get him a statue at the MCG then I don't know what will.

If Port wins by 112 like they did against us, we would have to lose by 92 to be overtaken. Seems possible, but somewhat unlikely...

Nah he is right in saying 90 each. If we loose by 90 and Port win by 90 then the percentages flip at somewhere around 119%

Start polishing the Doc Mcclelland trophy!

Wonder how many have no idea what I’m talking about?

Actually can't do that just yet as the trophy now incorporates the womens side points so feel like Brisbane will give us a good run for our money there

Gee that's ridiculous, the AFLW should have a totally independent reward.

As if we haven't heard of that famous trophy!!

That seems unfair because we would still have the better points deferential. I'm starting to realise that using percentages is kinda ridiculous.

Why is it ridiculous? It's what the competition has chosen to use. Why would points differential be any less ridiculous?

Thats why i was a C in maths

Woo, I'm good at maths!

 

[liz]

Whatever the maths, Port play Freo (in Perth) who are a decent defensive side and who will be desperate to do what they can to keep their season alive. They’ll be without one of their best half dozen players, in Houston.

We play at home against an Adelaide side who’ll be without Rankine and maybe Walker. If we lose by 90 points we deserve to relinquish not just top spot but our place in the finals. Unless we rest almost our entire AFL team and give debuts to Vickery, Green, Konstanty, Magor et al.

 

[lazy77]

Because points differential is a better reflection of the points scored vs points conceded? If your points diff is +120 and the other team’s is +115, it means yours is objectively better over the season. It means you’ve won by more and lost by less throughout the year, and the other team shouldn’t be finishing ahead of you on “percentage”. It’s why every single sport league I know of in the world uses differential as the tie breaker. Using percentages is less accurate and therefore quite dumb.

Will Day being out will hurt them more- he was out the first 7 rounds this year they went 1-6 with the win being North!

They dropped off after that first quarter

I hope Carlton beat St Kilda on Sunday arvo.

The thought of 40-50k odd Freo fans packed into Optus Stadium only to check their AFL apps and find out their finals hopes are gone by bounce-down just makes me happy.

I hope the opposite. Freo were absolutely dudded in Adelaide. Their fans are good for banter. Why would you want one of the most advantaged teams in the comp. , complete with Victorian travel advantage to stay alive in the finals. Your Freo antipathy reaches irrational depths.

Have to hugely agree

As far as I'm concerned any team outside of NSW & QLD is wildly advantaged in this competition. The WA and SA clubs aren't our allies whatsoever, so they're all in the same boat for me.

I hate Freo, have no respect for them as a club. Nothing irrational about it.
