depends. if lions lose 61 to 100 basically no change. 

to drop their % by .5% over 22 games they need to lose by an extra 11 points

so if Aints kick 100 they need to kick about 50 (i.e. 61 -11 = 50)......lets say a loss of about 51-55 to be safe

ok so essendon is essentially 61% not 60%

so in the above it changes the 11 points to about 9 points, so still a win > 100 to 50 to get below

so saints roughly need to double their score give or take

Interesting.  So EFC will most likely succeed in getting the #1 pick. 

EFC tanked vs Lions and now put the cue in the rack at 3/4 time vs the Blues.  So bleeding obvious!

And we can bet the AFL won't investigate them!!

Why aren't the Bombers being given the same draft pick they got last year, ie where they would have finished with their 12 players. It's a disgrace that Jaeger could walk to the Bombers without the club having to give GCS anything ,when Bris are the real bottom table club

Bombers percentage is 60.993.

If Brisbane score 50 and St Kilda score 104, Brisbane's percentage will be 60.994. So if Brisbane score 50, St Kilda need to score 105+.

If Brisbane score 60, St Kilda need 121+.

if Brisbane score 70, St Kilda need 138+.

Glad not to be a Richmond supporter. 98 - 12 at half time... Kinda want Sydney to go on with it just to satisfy my schaudenfruade brought on from watching today's game.

[Devil In Disguise 2,278]

Could be Dimma's last game as coach too. lol

[P-man 13,366]

Not the first time I've said it. Thank God for Richmond.

They believe they are a credible club.

At least we have stopped deluding ourselves.

My thoughts exactly. 

It just shows how Geelong and Sydney needed to pound us and them today. 

It all makes a bit more sense but still hurts. 

Carn bloods!

Cotchin is a real leader.

It's hard not to think that really isn't it?

Equalisation is a joke.

[What 18,810]

Richmond are making Melbourne look like a powerhouse

[Rod Grinter Riot Squad 5,654]

Reckon we are about to see the AFL's first 200 point defeat.

 

Adios "Dimma"

[Nasher 33,616]

Just watching the replay now. Our jumpers are more black and yellow than I thought and we're a lot further behind than I remember, but the play is practically as I recall.

[S.R.J 418]

Id be happy if the tigers are beaten by 187

Is it possible to have two 186 moments  in the one day?

You mean we're not top four in 2017? You lie.

[Mickey 4,684]

Geez, I hope sydney kick on. Will make today slightly better

[Return to Glory 8,441]

You've got to love the AFL. They've really established an even competition.  And it just gets better again with Sydney and GWS having the pick of this years draft via their academies and Gold Coast having that many picks inside the top twenty that it's laughable.

[Little Goffy 14,542]

It's a shame Sydney don't quite have as many deadly predators as Geelong, or this wouldn't just pass 186, it would blitz it.

Ah well, we'll just have to settle for the knowledge that this final round will be largely written off as farce now.

And that Richmond will spend another off-season in crisis.

Imagine if Prestia changes his mind!

 

[SaberFang 7,151]

Congratulations, AFL. Your equalisation policy is working a treat.

So wonderful that you've basically killed all the Victorian clubs by giving 3 sustained drafts of players to GWS and establishing a rorted system where Sydney get gift-wrapped gun midfielders every year for a packet of chips.

It's working brilliantly for the bottom end Vic clubs. In all likelihood the top three will be Sydney, Geelong and Hawthorn. Sound familiar?

Honestly SaberFang, today p155ed me off. We're lining up to praise Paul Roos after we've been belted by 111 points. It's a cricket score. And there are clubs above us (considerably so) who will now get better players into their clubs. Equalisation is a crock.
