Haha. I was typing it out when watching the couch. I assume it's Geelong 5th hardest given they play crows twice

Good stats mate, when did Geelong leave the comp and Gold Coast enter two teams? I missed that!

The Gary Ablett factor.

That's equally damning on Geelong as it is Richmond.

More damning on Geelong IMHO.

[MW]

Damning that they have the ability to win close games?

Damning that they have the ability to win close games?

Ability is needed but luck is also. If they were a bit unluckier they could hve ended up nowhere (even though thats still a chance anyway).

Same happened to us a few years ago winning a lot of close games and got smashed in the finals.

Correct, you don't want to be top 4 based on luck. If you are, you've probably run out of it by September.

The North stats are wrong. It should read 9 wins & 10 losses.
(North have won 1 under a goal & lost 5)

True, I didn't check them. My own stupid fault for believing some read on facebook. Doh!

Bottom team plays the top 8 teams more than anyone

[bennymacca]

shows how bad the draw can be. an extra 1 or two games against top eight could mean the difference between 4th and 9th this year

[Spargo]

People need to stop calling it a draw, because it's not.
It's a FIXture.

Yep, but it can never change with this amount of teams. I think eventually they will add a couple more sides and then everyone plays everyone once, home one year away the next

What is that as a percentage of free kicks given?

Ie if it's 1% or something then it hardly matters. (It's going to be more than that though)
