20. Will Rd 22's Ess v Stk influence the make-up of the final 8?NO 4

yeah you're right...no influence at all. Just ask the crows fans.

The question was would it influence the make-up of the 8. He is correct the game did not as the make-up of the 8 was set after round 21. IT did influence the order.

so the order isnt part of the make up....not how I took it but then again I didnt write the question

 

[Niximus]

I would interpret it as the make up being the teams in the 8, as in

"The final 8 is made up of Adelaide, Collingwood, Geelong, Hawthorn, North Melbourne, Saint Kilda, Sydney and the Western Bulldogs."

This was true regardless of any result in round 22. That is just how I read it, I guess you'd have to ask the OP what they intended and perhaps next year it would have to be more specific on what it's asking.

+ Can you clarify exactly what you mean by that? Do you mean will it influence both teams' chances?

Either side ie will StKilda or Essendon still be in the hunt for the flag when that Round 22 game starts

From the question writer

 

[Chodders]

Congratulations to anyone who had faith in the Blues winning more than nine games.

I think there were a lot more people who repsonded with a 'No chance in hell' than an affirmative for that question, but well, time makes fools of us all.

Yep, winning 10 games sure throws dirt in their face, hey?

 

[Niximus]

That's another area where it could be clarified in the question.

With the question being "Will Carlton win more than 9 games" is 9 and a draw more than 9 wins should that have occured?

 

[Walesy]

That's another area where it could be clarified in the question.

With the question being "Will Carlton win more than 9 games" is 9 and a draw more than 9 wins should that have occured?

Shouldn't the question have been "got more than 36 premiership points" if that was the case?

More than 9 wins isn't 9 wins and a draw.

It's not even 9 wins and 11 draws.

It's 10 wins or more.

More than 9 wins isn't 9 wins and a draw.

It's not even 9 wins and 11 draws.

It's 10 wins or more.

That's how I would interpret it but it is a little ambiguous.

 

[PHX]

What is more than 9? 10 and above.

Captain Obvious knows that.
