Opinion Collingwood and Richmond, who finishes higher in 2023?

[Fadge]

Credit where its due Fadge, this is hilarious and I don't even have an anti-Richmond agenda (yet).

No worries, Joao, I try my best to entertain the masses...

Plus we have a few stronger teams going around nowadays, as opposed to the also-rans during 2017 and 2020.

As if there is only one or a couple of decent sides each year.

Give it up

You must really rate the Hawks

Yep. Tigers fighting it out with Sydney for 7th and 8th.

Not what I said.

You have alluded to it, over a number of threads, which has no bearing whatsoever

Nope, never.

But not surprising. Comprehension not a strength of yours.

Just stop, you are fooling no one

"alluded"

 

[Fadge]

"alluded"

Maybe it's a new word, because if he was saying what we assumed he was saying, he is patently wrong.

Stop feigning, you trying to discredit the value of the Tiger's, by suggesting they were weak years.

 

[Fadge]

Which is very different to saying 'there are only one or a couple of strong sides each year'.

And I assume you meant 'discredit'?

Not that different at all, but you keep making your case, however flawed

Facts are, Tigers have been one of the most successful sides in recent times

It actually couldn't be any more different, but jog on.

Enjoying you trying to troll Tiger supporters after their recent success

Percentage is a far better indicator than W/L. The Pies will drop down a bit this year. Think they'll still make finals but likely 7th or 8th as they should've last year if a couple of results didn't go their way.

Tigers top 4 as their percentage and points for showed. Lock it in.

This is constantly pedalled. Do some homework on how many teams with the best % in the league win the premiership. You’ll be quite shocked. In the last 5 seasons alone, we’ve seen two grand finals competed between the sides with the 4th and 5th highest percentages. Geelong became the first side in 7 years to win the flag with the highest % in the H&A season.

I love the narrative.

First, Collingwood's close wins and low percentage was going to see us fall away at the end of the season and miss the top 4...

Then when that didn't eventuate, it was going to see us get completely outclassed in the finals because we were a long way short of the genuine contenders...

Then when that didn't happen, it's going to cause us to drop down the ladder in 2023, finishing anywhere between 7th and 12th.

Now Collingwood may indeed have a lower finish in 2023 that last year, but it's not because we ended our home and away season in 2022 with 104%...

A little deceiving.

4th or 5th highest percentage is vastly different to the 10th highest.

While the Pies can continue to win 16+ games this year, you would have to improve based on the number of close wins from last year

Essentially, the most important factor is finishing top 3, 1 in over 20 odd past flags has been won from a side finishing lower

Actually, it certainly is a factor

 

[adammania9]

Clutch those straws

 

[Arr0w]

Are they shorter in percentage compared to others

 

[PrinceCharles]

8th and 9th imo, probably just percentage in it so too hard to tell.

Yeah, you're no chance if you finish 4th....
