Welcome to all you positrons, electrons, neutrons and ambiguously charged! In this particular thread, I shall attempt to provide some stats to show that all is not a lost cause, with the proviso…we keep the momentum rolling..
Disclaimer: I’m not predicting any guaranteed results by the end of the year, but just to share some positive vibes for those wishing to seek such vibes.
This is the current ladder position after 10 rounds (will only include teams that are still a realistic chance of making the Finals):
1. Sydney 9W 155%
2. Dons 7W1D 103%
3. Cats 7W 112%
4. Port 7W 111%
5. Pies 6W1D 108%
6. GWS 6W 116%
7. Dees 6W 113%
8. Suns 6W 112%
9. Freo 6W 112%
10. Blues 6W 102%
11. Dogs 5W 126%
12. Lions 4W1D 117%
13. Crows 3W1D 101%
——————————————
Not a great look from a club position perspective. From a momentum perspective, however, it does look drastically different..
If we take current form as an arbitrary “the last 6 rounds”, then the current form ladder looks like this:
1. Sydney 6W 181%
2. Pies 5W1D 129%
3. Dons 5W1D 123%
4. Suns 4W 129%
5. Port 4W 104%
6. Lions 3W1D 129%
7. Crows 3W1D 117%
8. Dogs 3W 127%
9. Cats 3W 107%
10. Dees 3W 102%
11. Freo 3W 112%
12. GWS 2W 116%
13. Blues 2W 102%
This form guide in the above isn’t only significant in terms of the most recent form for all teams, but it reflects well that the top 8 teams “in form” have the best win counts AND best score percentages, with the only exception of Port (higher win count with a poor score percentage).
By some coincidence, 4 of our last 5 games have been played against the top 6 “in form” teams! What this tells us is that we’re playing at the right level of intensity, despite some recent close losses/draws. We’re matching it well with the best of the bunch, current form that is.
