A New Record After Round 8??

[Wedgie]

Over to you spelly but I'd be suprised if you'd find another year when the 2nd side has lost half of their games after 8 rounds?
My guess it would only happen this year as a quirk of the ridiculous SANFL draw for 2007?

Even weirder is the side who is 4th has only lost to one club!

[HeartBeatsTrue]

That would be because Port has played 13 matches more than everyone else. They now have the bye for the next 15 weeks

[spell_check]

There have been a few times where 2nd have been 4 and 3 after 8 rounds, 1994 for instance, but none on 4 and 4.

[spell_check]

1909 is another time where 2nd has been on 4 and 3 after 8 rounds.

This is after 5 rounds in a particular season, but you'd be hard pressed to see a more even ladder than this:

Round 5 1987

[Wedgie]

Geezus Spelly, you never cease to amaze me with your stats, well done!

[spell_check]

Geezus Spelly, you never cease to amaze me with your stats, well done!

Nothing that Excel (and Eckys' Access) can't handle!

[HeartBeatsTrue]

Should wait til the round is finished. If the Eagles win today by a healthy margin then they can go second.

[smac]

Has a team ever been so clear on top after so few rounds? The ladder this year is staggering, but that one you just put up is incredibly bizarre spelly.

Struth, with a % of 240 they may as well be...

[spell_check]

Yes.

[spell_check]

So there still has only been 4 wins 3 losses after 8 rounds, and not 4 and 4:

[Hondo]

1909 is another time where 2nd has been on 4 and 3 after 8 rounds.

This is after 5 rounds in a particular season, but you'd be hard pressed to see a more even ladder than this:

Round 5 1987

I think North only lost one more game for the '87 season after that? Spelly?

[spell_check]

Yes, to Glenelg in Round 17.

[redandblack]

1909 is another time where 2nd has been on 4 and 3 after 8 rounds.

This is after 5 rounds in a particular season, but you'd be hard pressed to see a more even ladder than this:

Round 5 1987

Who finished up on top in 1909, spelly

I reckon with that grin, you answered your own question.

So the dogs are only 2.5 wins ahead of North, christ this seasons fixture makes it hard to keep up...

Puts a whole new perspective on the two games against North - could go a long way to deciding positions later in the season.

Then there is East Perth Played 7, won 4, lost 4.

[Benchwarmer]

Spelly ... that's gold, son!

Yes, unfortunately the WAFL is a case of Subiaco, Subiaco and Subiaco. It's just a matter of who should play them in the Grand Final (I know there is no such thing as a dead cert, but c'mon guys let's face it!). Claremont, maybe East Perth but unfortunately that about it ... my Sharkies have tailed off rather badly of late with a case of AFL Disease (where teams kick twice as many behinds as goals).

With 3.5 wins out of 6 games really Norf are second, then Eagles, Sturt and Port. I usually look at games lost as this is a better indicator of how teams are travelling.
