Who will be the last team to be beaten by GC and GWS?

[Colonial]

Didn't last long though did it...expansion teams trying to talk smack never was going to end well....

You really have a stick up the butt

 

[Reality Check!]

Adelaide need to have more home games vs Essendon because otherwise they just couldn't beat us.

 

[Crazy John]

And the relevance of this in this thread is.....................

The fact that Adelaide have not come close to being beaten by Gold Coast or GWS has people calling them flat track bullies.

Flat track bullies don't have trouble beating the likes of Melbourne.

If people want to label a side flat track bullies, look no further than West Coast.

Does that make Richmond flat track bullies?

4th one should be Brisbane v Hawthorn not Melbourne right?

Yeah. Clubs are stored as numbers in my database, 1 for Adelaide, 2 for Brisbane, 3 for Carlton etc. I change them to two-letter abbreviations before posting and sometimes make a typo. That's an odd one though.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Could be a fair while before we find out.

The same Melbourne that kicked Richmond's arse last night by 32 points?
Righto. so Richmond aren't even flat track bullies either....

 

[Arecsa]

We are the best flat track bullies in the league. Last year we gave Melbourne 2 glorious tune ups, and hammered the Giants. Rodney Eade has taken the Suns backwards, even with our injuries I think we can remain unbeaten against them this year. GWS next week could be interesting though.

If we survive next week we should make it through the season unscathed the way Gold Coast are trending.

So by definition richmond are just shite as they have been for so long?

 

[Illinois Nazi]

West coast beat up GWS again... Their average margin against them is about 80 points isn't it?

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Just under 95 points.

 

[MrKK]

We may be flat-track bullies but at least we are elite standard at flat-track bullying - never pass up an opportunity to pull a weaker opponent's pants down.

 

[Arecsa]

I'm happy for us to keep putting scrub teams to the sword, the percentage may just end up being crucial. It'd be nice to take another few steps forward and start beating sides around our own level, while turning our home ground back into a fortress.

 

[inamedthegiants]

I've got no idea what Mrs Coniglio feeds the boys 2 days out from the game.

I'm hoping we don't eat there in 3 months time before we play Freo. Will get extremely ugly.

 

[Rise_up_Stiffy]

Bit nervous this time boys

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Bit nervous this time boys

Gold Coast are still rubbish, it's just that Brisbane are on another whole level of shit. If we are to play finals this year, we should beat them.

 

[Air_Chester]

Just under 95 points.

If you include the 3 Freo games, the average losing margin is still 95 points from 7 games.

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Time for GWS to train on a ground size the dimensions of Subi.

 

[King Cold]

Gold Coast a good chance to break the duck against Adelaide this weekend?

The game is at Carrara and Adelaide are coming off a 6 day break after the Showdown.

Gold Coast have much of their best 22 out. If we're switched on, we should smash them.

 

[Power Raid]

Eagles looking the goods on this now

 

[King Cold]

Hawks and Crows are both in serious danger.

I wager that one if not both of them will get knocked off by an expansion team tonight.

 

[Stewart2Austin Reborn]

Hi guys,

With the chance of notching up our inaugural win over Melbourne this Sunday, it's got me thinking about the team(s) that will be the last to lose a game to either expansion team.

After joining the AFL in 1995, Fremantle had managed to register a win against every team by Round 2, 2000 with Port Adelaide being the last team they registered a win against. The first team they registered a win against was Fitzroy.

After joining the AFL in 1997, Port Adelaide had managed to register a win against every team by Round 8, 2003 with North Melbourne being the last team they registered a win against. The first team they registered a win against was Geelong.

In summary, it took 6 seasons for Fremantle, and 7 seasons for Port Adelaide.

Will it take GC and GWS longer than that to notch up wins against each of the other 16 teams in the league? Keep in mind that Fremantle and Port Adelaide were competitive from the get go, rather than spending their early years in the cellar.

Call it a game of survivor if you wish, but this will be fun to watch as both expansion teams continue to develop.

Will the last team to remain unbeaten be one of the teams up the top end of the ladder at present (Collingwood, Hawthorn, Sydney, Geelong), or will those teams drop a game to the expansion teams sooner than expected, leaving a current mid table side such as West Coast, Fremantle, Adelaide, Essendon or North Melbourne to be the last man standing.

Here is the list of teams that GC and GWS have beaten, and I will update the list over time as both GC and GWS register their inaugural wins against each of the 16 established clubs.

Established teams that Gold Coast have beaten (in order):
#1 - Port Adelaide - round 5 2011

#6 - Melbourne - round 7 2013

#8 - North Melbourne - round 11 2013
#9 - Collingwood - round 17 2013
#10 - Geelong - round 14 2014

Remaining: Adelaide*, Essendon*, Fremantle*, Hawthorn, Sydney, West Coast*

Established teams that GWS Giants have beaten (in order):
#1 - Port Adelaide - round 19 2012
