Premiership Predictor

Featured Replies

Posted

I was interested in the Fox Footy premiership predictor that I saw at some point last week, so through together a version on my footy tipping spreadsheet to see if evidence over time can assist in predicting winners! (I'm not a betting man, so this is purely for seeing if you can predict winners from just the ladder and who is at home - last week it gave me 8 winners as I didnt take into account umpires issuing frees to Hawthorn and picked Crows to win by 9)

For those that havent seen this on Fox Footy - the last 15 premiership winning teams have scored an average higher than 100 and kept their opposition to an average of lower than 86. The teams with yellow borders are currently in the top 8. The black circle is the league average for and against.

Based on this formula, it is very interesting to see where the Demons are placed at the moment. Before Round 5, we were placed almost exactly where Hawks are now. But after the one win we are now scoring enough to be a premiership winning side, but not keeping our opposition low enough (we are allowing 1 too many goals each week), but we are closer to being in the premiership winning quadrant than any other team.

Another good win this weekend, while staying strong on defence (Saints are only averaging 83, which keeps them under the magic number) might push us up into that quadrant!

Now, this doesnt mean our premiership window is open, or we will even make the top 8 - its still early in the season -  but keeping your stats in the top left quadrant is where history says the premiership team comes from and being up there cant hurt your chances.

Here's the official Champion Data graph of this, it's a really fascinating snapshot, that I only just discovered last week:

It's great seeing our offence really click the last few weeks, now just got to get a bit stingier down the other end....

Using the above for tipping then which doesn't consider any home ground advantage for this week would result in:

Bulldogs, Melbourne, Adelaide, GWS, Port, Geelong, Sydney, Carlton, West Coast

That look's pretty good with the following considerations, your backing the defense of the Dogs to withstand Norths scoring ability, Port and Richmond are about on par does the MCG provide an advantage in picking Richmond over Port, I'm really struggling to decide whether to tip GWS for an upset... they did it last year, maybe the above is the answer!

Also using the graph Melbourne should beat Hawthorn... :roos: 

The North game would be the sole reason we are on the wrong side of the defence line, but I guess it also has us above the attack line.


Sydney, GWS and Gold Coast the only ones in the 'premiership quartile'?

I feel like 5 rounds may not be a big enough sample size. Maybe 10 rounds?

23 rounds plus finals ought to do it.

Hawthorns points against average is slightly lower than ours. From memory the vast majority of winners last week were those with the better (lower) points against. 

And like Choke said, a few more rounds are needed to get some more accurate data.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
