All this talk of tanking and resting McLean, Moloney, Jurrah etc while putting Zomer on the ball and Valenti at full fwd should be put to bed.

We can still mathematically make the 8!

This the ladder predictor I came up with and I have us playing Essendon in week 1 of the finals - if all goes to plan

Who did St KFC lose to?

Has to be us.

Quote

July 15, 200916 yr

"Has to be us."

Feasible in these slightly improbable circumstances, since StK would be at least 3 games clear on top, with no incentive in round 22, while we'd be playing for our lives.

I remember in 1987, after16 rounds, we'd won 6 and lost 10. I suggested to my mates before the round 17 match that we could make the 5 (or was it 6 then?). They scoffed. This is a tad less likely, but would raise its head if we(on a 2 game winning streak), beat Geelong(on a 2 game losing streak ) on Sat.

Having said that, I pray that we only win one(or none) more.

Quote

July 15, 200916 yr

That would be 9 wins straight, almost garuanteed to win the premiership with that kind of form going into the finals.

But we'd only get pick 16 in this scenario!!! A shocking return for the year.

That's a bit short really. It'd be at least 100-1 about the Dees getting up against both St Kilda AND Geelong, never mind the rest.

Ooze2juice, are you factoring in a series of 200 point wins? Our percentage looked pretty good in your model.

Quote

All our wins were entered as 300 to 0. Jurrah to kick 200 goals in the remaining 7 games.

As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show.
