No, he did say he did a few things that that he is not proud of looking back and that he was immature. It is a good listen, very open and honest from Rocky.. he is living back in Brisbane now as well, said he was looking forward to getting along to the Gabba and cheering on the Lions.

I am prepared to well and truly forgive and forget.

That's kind of surprising to me, I thought he had a bit of a gig last year with Triple M Adelaide? I've been saving the pod to listen to on a run so sounds like it will be engaging at least!

He did say he is still doing some sort of radio gig in Adelaide, IIRC on weekends only.

So we are basically a touch over 20% chance of making the finals after round 1 :eek:

Since 2000, only 10 of the 44 teams to lose by 50-plus points in the opening round have gone on to make the finals. The furthest any team has gone is a preliminary final, with Geelong (2004) and North Melbourne (2015) managing that after heavy defeats in round one.

That leaves the Lions and Bulldogs with plenty of work to do.

It was the first time since 2016 that at least three matches have been decided by 50-plus points.

Since 2000, 34 of the 44 teams to win by 50-plus points in the opening round have made the finals.


Geez odds arent good but we are good enoughif we can arrest the next 3 games. If we are 0-4 or 1-3 id say it will be a long season.
No.

That's a massively misleading statistic.

Many teams that lose week one are because they're actually shit teams who were never going to make finals. These will dominate that statistic as a result.

If you controlled for teams that were good in the previous year the results would be much more indicative for us (and the Dogs) - it would be lower than if we'd won round one, but it wouldn't be within cooee of 20%.

Lies , lies, damn lies, and statistics.
 
Fair enough - your much smarter than me and i didnt think what you said
Heh I think there's overstating it - it was more that it was a deliberately misleading article unfortunately. :(

Of the 10 teams that did make finals, 5 of them were finalists the year before and 5 not.

However, that's on a sample size of 14 previous finalists and 29 previous non-finalists (the 44th was the inception year GWS).

Assuming the child in NAB footy ad wearing our jumper is meant to be Richy, could someone please explain to me why he has dark hair and beard. Richy has been blond forever. Ive never seen him with dark hair.

So 5/14 or 35%. They could have gone with that, been more accurate, and still predicted doom and gloom! (I doubt they care about sample size concerns.)
