Was the Carlton, Essendon, Norf etc orgy over 2 years. Did they know Carlton were coming?

Amusing! Hawks should be in closer to Dogs, and Port lucky to be lumped in with Swans, are actually closer to Bombers.

Interesting that apart from Richmond, no team that lost the QF went on to win the flag, and in that year both participants made the Gf through that path. And 2020 was an outlier anyway due to the massive fixture upheavals from Covid, as was 2021 to a lesser extent.

2021 didn't have a pre-finals bye.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

2021 didn't have a pre-finals bye.

Ha! I checked 2020 but not 2021.

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

Sydney should consider themselves incredibly lucky to have even one Flag

2012 - They won by 10 points in a game Hawthorn kicked 11.15 in. Probably should have lost that one by a bit
2014 - Pumped
2016 - Lost by 22 but Dogs had 7 more scoring shots. Should have got pumped
2022 - Pumped
2024 - Pumped

They're basically becoming the new old Collingwood

 

[JLC]

It's funny looking back - last finals series we won 3 close finals.

We controlled our own destiny against the Giants - Whereas this year Sydney and the Lions had to come from the clouds. c

We then managed to beat the Lions who clearly are a very good team. Sydney couldn't lay a glove on them.

I am not sure Fly gets the credit that he deserves.

Thats like shitting your pants before you even get into bed

Must confess if I’m gonna do it I’d prefer it not to be in bed.

 

[Anzacday]

Number of Premierships when tied, is then sorted by number of Runner Ups

For our purposes we simply substract wooden spoons

Yeah great point. Undies and trousers are easier to hide than a whole ensemble sheets, quilt, pillows etc. Would take me 3 days to put a new quilt cover on

Are Carlton in minus yet?

 

[Tadpole]

Are Carlton in minus yet?

I'd settle for this.

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

Looks like the rule of thumb “You don’t win the flag if you’ve lost a game by 100 points in the season” still holds true

If you lose by 100 points it basically means you give up in games

Which aligns with Sydney given they keep getting pumped in Grand Finals

Good observation, was it Port that beat them by that much?

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

Yep

I stand to be corrected but I don’t believe a team has been beaten by 100 points plus in a season and won the flag.

At least not in the modern era anyway

We got rolled by 96 to Geelong in 2011. After being 20-1 to that point. **** that year

F..# the succession plan which didn't succeed

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

And by 83 pts in round 20 1990.

Against hawthorn. After losing to Essendon the week before in an epic games at arctic park.

Would be interesting to know if 1990 is the biggest losing margin by a team who ended up winning the flag that year.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

F..# the succession plan which didn't succeed

It had already succeeded the year prior

 

[NMBB]

It had already succeeded the year prior

At that stage the "successor" had not succeeded and when the "successor" eventually succeeded we didn't enjoy the ultimate success again until he had also been succeeded ie our succession plan didn't go according to plan

So Paul Roos mentioned getting rid of players who are under performers on the big stage. Who is Roos referring to?

Papley? 1 goal but 20 disposals (2022), 1 goal 10 disposals (2024):and a complete f wit.

15 disposal ((2022), 17 disposals but had goals kicked on him.
Hayward 1 goal (2022), 1 goal (2024)
McInerney 7 disposals (2022), 10 disposals (2024)

In terms of the big boys Gulden?

I am not sure who Blakey played on in 2022 in terms of goals kicked on him.

Cool, can we have Papley please

This year proved - make September and it starts again

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

At that stage the "successor" had not succeeded and when the "successor" eventually succeeded we didn't enjoy the ultimate success again until he had also been succeeded ie our succession plan didn't go according to plan

At that stage the successor was only the successor in waiting, so the successor couldn’t possibly achieve the ultimate as he wasn’t yet the successor and didn’t become so until the year later. The succession plan however had already been in place a year earlier where the ultimate success was achieved, with the successee still coach but the succession plan in place.

Hence it’s impossible to say the succession plan cost the flag in 2011 because it had already been a successful succession plan in 2010.

Quite a successful post

I’d say yes for the melts alone, but I actually don’t mind him.
