In a regular season they'll play 12 games at Adelaide Oval and 10 away games.
Port literally only gain home games going back to a full season.

Squiggle will come round on them if they get to work. I think some of the lack of favour came from their ridiculous goal kicking accuracy which squiggle doesn't rate a chance to hold up long term.

Squiggle liked Port before it was cool.

All but 2 of those away games were against a side who was also away from home, so it will be tougher this year. For example, in 2020, Port's away game against Collingwood was at the Gabba, which is essentially a neutral venue, while in 2021 it's back to the MCG.
That said, Port do have a pretty handy fixture, and look very good for Top 2.

Blues must fix this or can ‘forget about finals’
Carlton might be playing the most attractive football in the AFL but if the Blues care about winning games, it’s time for a major game plan adjustment.

Is the ‘sliding doors’ feature suppose to be 2019?

We've been kicking pretty straight for a few years now...not sure how much downward variance there is there. Obviously helped by having good set shot kickers and taking marks in more beneficial parts of the ground (and the rigged umpiring at Optus calling frees in the goalsquare ldo).

Squiggle tips a Richmond-Melbourne Grand Final for the first time in 80 years and Brisbane to finish 9th.

Apparently the Blues will win 11 matches, lose 11 matches, but also lose a few by 1pt.
I'm glad the Squiggle has more confidence in the side than most Blues supporters.

the squiggle looks like he is on the moneyLions bring in Daniher, Cockatoo, lose Rayner for most likely the season, but with their list profile...they're sliding to 8th with 11 wins?

I will defend Squiggle's record on West Coast to the death. It has been pessimistic on the Eagles relative to popular opinion, but also been pretty accurate. E.g. last year tipped them for 9th even though they were a red-hot flag fancy; they were 5th after home & away that included a surprise fixture reshuffle eliminating most of their true away games, and 7th after finals.
The Eagles do keep recording unusually accurate goalkicking numbers, though. And it's true that Squiggle is on the low end of models' projections:

Have confidence in your model. It's entirely possible that the Blues are going to be that good. Although perhaps you might want to hedge your bets with some statements like " Since all models are wrong the scientist must be alert to what is importantly wrong. It is inappropriate to be concerned about mice when there are tigers abroad." George Box 1976 Journal of the American Statistical Association.
Just a thought .... with my tongue firmly in my cheek.
And given the Tiger in the quote I just had to use it

Carlton seem to have above average goal scoring accuracy AGAINST them this season and last so that probably explains some of squiggles overestimation?
Rest assured squiggle is wrong and we won't get near any of those win totals.

I’m thinking that 2020 has given the hawks a subdued 2021. Given a bottom 4 draw and will go into many games an even chance even without sicily Gunston and Wingard.
squiggle head to head gives them under .40 in most games, except v north and essendon

Squiggle getting a bit carried away but definitely a big result for it....
Always scary checking the damage after what the squiggle expected to be a big win ends up a big loss

So Squiggle has the Swans with the highest Attack rating. I'm in shock. How far back do we have to go to find the last time that was the case - was it in the Plugger years or pre-Sydney?
What's the worst non expansion team in recent years according to Squiggle? North giving it a shake
