ROUND 12 TIPSNo score predictions this week

This is all exactly right! And indeed it's what I did in an earlier pass. However, this method has a couple of drawbacks, too.Awarding teams partial wins would result in a more realistic ladder.
But I would advise against rounding the final figure, and simply having the teams with a non-integer win tally. Though the ladder would have most, if not all, teams with a fractional number of wins, this way you can ensure that the total number of wins available in a season remains consistent with the number of games.
If you were to round, you could potentially increase/decrease the total number of wins (league-wide) to a figure that's actually greater/lower than the actual number of games played. A very basic example between a 3 team league to demonstrate this:
Team A (80%) v Team B (20%)
Team A (80%) v Team C (20%)
Team B (50%) v Team C (50%)
Team A: 0.8 + 0.8 = 1.6 wins = 2 wins (rounded)
Team B: 0.2 + 0.5 = 0.7 wins = 1 win (rounded)
Team C: 0.2 + 0.5 = 0.7 wins = 1 win (rounded)
As you can see there were only 3 games played but when rounding, the final ladder would ultimately award a total of 4 wins from the 3 games.
However, the actual ladder itself doesn't use decimal values and partial wins, but with the decimal values, the predictor will actually rank the teams in the correct order. i.e. a 16.9 win team is ranked above a 16.6 team.
Yep, exactly. If Hawthorn had to play its next 10 games against Essendon, I would tip the Hawks for each individual game, because they're a better team. But I wouldn't expect them to win all 10, because upsets happen. I just don't know when they'll happen.I imagine Final Siren's forecaster works the same.
We need Luke Darcy to tell us it would be a great story.Looks like the Sydney and Hawthorn squiggles are 'locked in' on their 2012 and 2013 flag positions...

I was filthy at that umpire when it was 89-50 with two minutes to go and he denied an Adelaide mark in the goal square.Freo predicted 89 - 58.
Actually score 90 - 50.
Bam.
