Prediction Q: If you start 0-2, is it time to look to the future? A: No

[caloschwaby]

The answer is yes particularly if you are Collingwood. Tigers went one season too many and look at them now.

Tigers, Bombers & Pies all terrible meanwhile Carlton premiership favourites.

Going to be a great year.

Carlton fans are the gift that keeps on giving

Carlton are very much the reversal of this rule. Similar to the PF last year but in a broader sense, if Carlton get too many wins early they may as well begin the rebuild because it’ll be a disaster second half of the year.

 

[kickazz]

Wallowing in the past is also a valid option....

March premiers again

 

[Mr.X]

I know but 0-2 could be premiers and 2-0 could be spooners.

Do many teams make finals after a 0-2 start?

 

[Elixuh]

Even if the lions go 2-0 we don’t need to bottom out. We can just rort the draft through academies and father sons.

Swans are looking good ngl. Will be a tough flag to win.

ٌYeah, look at Richmond now, losing by less than a goal to the "premiership favourites" after being 2 KPDs and a mid down since basically the second quarter

 

[Joao]

100%

Quantum mechanics forbids you coming back from 0-2 down so you might as well tank.

if my memories were correct, we won the 1999 flag when we were 02, brisbane started their 3peat when they were 5-4 by rd 9...

We made the 2018 GF after starting that season 0-2. Geelong missed finals last season after themselves starting 0-2

A good mate of mine is a Blues supporter.

He mentioned the Swans have a pretty decent record against them.

And tonight they were missing three AA mids in Mills, Adams and Parker.

That academy keeps producing and gun players keep asking to be traded there.

So good luck winning a rigged race.

Actually.... Brisbane were 6-5 in the half way point of 2001 and didn't lose a game after round 11

 

[Freomaniac]

Good thread.

For the record, of the 0-2'ers last year.

Fremantle - 14th
Geelong - 12th
Adelaide - 10th (4 points short)
Gold Coast - 15th
Western Bulldogs - 9th (2 points & percentage short)
Hawthorn - 16th

nice to hear this

In my opinion Carlton are being rated where they are purely on scoring accuracy.

Over the end of last year and this year, I think they’ve had less scoring shots on 7 of their last 11 games, but won 9 of 11. Reverse that and they’d be calling for Voss’s head.

Not sustainable.

That’s interesting, when was the last time the defending premiers have gone 0-2 to start a year in back to back seasons? Has it ever happened?

Swans lost the first 2 games of 2006 and still made finals

Last time I looked Vic clubs won 11 of the last 12 flags. And you won the other one!

So whoever is rigging it for the swans isn't doing a very good job.

Also academy picks aren't freebies. Anyone could have drafted Gulden but all the other 17 clubs decided he was too small and nobody wanted him.

 

[Freomaniac]

Why do you think I didn’t bump it
2015 I saw it
2016 I shared it on crows board
2017 I shared here and Sydney pulled off that season
2018 fox footy started running with it in their rd 2 coverage.

Foxtel gets their info on big footy?

Stats dont lie, if your 0-2 you might still make the Granny but your not going to win it.

Again... North Melbourne were 0-4 in 1975. Ended up 3rd with 14 wins and won the flag

Its a rort.

Paying for first round talent with junk picks after a discount.

Rort.

Lions and Swans make grand finals. The rort continues.

Swans, Lions, Suns and Giants lists are stacked with talent. So why do they need more assistance ahead of clubs struggling to rebuild?

The welfare needs to back off once the clubs are playing grand finals and making finals most years. Where is the justification in making the best lists even stronger at the expense of clubs finishing last?

You just win a flag then completely self sabotaged by offering all your premiership hero's hero contracts as a reward.

NicNat was actually contracted until 2024 ffs for his merch selling purposes.

And Brisbane made one GF. They had been shit for 20 years! They hardly won a game for about a decade.

In the afl era I think only five defending premiers have gone 0-2 and (until now) never in consecutive years.
Kangaroos 2000
Sydney 2006
Hawthorn 2009
Geelong 2023
Collingwood 2024
