Round 1.5 Discussion

[TheOz]

maybe you guys are being too harsh for some reason, I haven't seen that site before now, but her team is pretty close to mine and I knocked out 2300 rd 1?

I was harsh, its not a bad team, I just expected something better and less cookie cutter.

I'm ranked 32 I'm not complaining

A week is a long time in SC.

In a few weeks things could be way different.

Someone might be a little bit nervous about being top 50

me thinks everyone has shots, last man standing wins! (some Indiana Jones picture appearing in my head for some reason)

Wow glass half empty again. Dude its Rd2 and you got last qtr rolled by a very forward Port (who could easily be top5)

Fair point but i thought we looked reallt tired against Port.

They would have to really rally and be real up and about for this game.

Gonna have to play Hendo in defence which means our forward targets minus Bettsy are going to be shallow.

If i was a betting man, and i like to think i am - i put my money on the tiges by 4 goals. In saying that i went and chucked a 20 on carlton last year round 1 at 3 quarter time and nearly came home with the goods were it not for Yaz

Playing chase footy makes anyone look tired, if youd converted earlier, talking to you judas thomas, its a different game completely

Is it raining in melb? Talls in the rain not much chop

Essendon/Carlton/Bulldogs/Saints not much chop in the wind or the rain really. They're not exposed to playing proper football often, they prefer the perfect basketball stadium conditions. Probably explains the lack of success from said clubs over the past decade actually

I can only assume you mean premiership success?

Hahahahah I did know that was coming when I posted it. We all know Melbourne's a basket case, but I highly doubt that's related to the MCG being their home ground

Well, the Saints did make back to back Grand Finals, I suppose, but that was one hell of a team.

In the last 12 seasons, those four clubs (12 x 4 x 2 = 96 chances) have made 2 Prelims (both St K). 2 out of 96 (2%) is not a great strike rate.

Not too sure how many finals full stop those clubs have won in the last 12 years actually. I'd suggest the % would actually be far far less than 2%

 

[rocker_oz33]

Looks and sounds like that Kolodjashnij (gc) will either be named or travel with the team.R Thompson could be also named,Not good for clay.

From my reading Clay is as safe as houses. It is his spot to lose. Of course I don't have clay because I only read that stuff after the game.

Saints '04->'13

1x minor premiership
2x GF'S (+ 1 replay )
5x Prelim Finals ('04, '05, '08, '09 & '10 - FWIW)
5x top 4 finishes
7x top 8 finishes
60% w/l record (64% prior to last years result)

Not too bad a success rate, other than ultimate success,

No good lumping so-called failure/success all together, you could even make Melbourne look good if you put them with Geelong, Hawthorn & Collingwood, and quote their overall accomplishments as a group of 4, if you wanted to!

 

[Werewolf]

3x GF'S

You guys made the prelims in '04 and '05 as well. Should say 2 GF's as well, you were gifted the "3rd"

Bugger you and your editing. I had already typed a big reply to the original post lol.

Forget the replay, that's irrelevant, but yeah, you're right, forgot about 04/05.

We're discussing teams playing from a venue with a roof vs teams not playing under a roof. You can lump the other 14 teams together and still get a better strike rate. Teams that play from Ethihad always seem to struggle when playing in windy, wet conditions.

Look at Essendon's inability to beat Melbourne for the past 5 years ignoring last year's break-through. I don't think they'd lost a game in 2012 until Melbourne beat them at odds of 14/1. St Kilda always struggle at the SCG when it's wet too.

Kinda ironic St Kilda went from Waverley to Etihad. Couldn't find more polar opposites
