Just being bored I was thinking about our over all play in games and how many quarters we have won so far this year,so i put together a ladder on quarters won by everyone to see what the ladder would look like ... yes i am bored :)   so i gave 1 point for each Q won,none if the Q was drawn and 1 point if you won the game.

So before last nights game 48Q have been played we have won 30 and lost 18,we have won 7 games so that gives us 37 pts and % would be the same so the ladder would like this...

Ade    42 pts             compared to the real  ladder          Ade   36 pts

P.A     40                                                                         GWS  36 

GWS 39                                                                         Geel   32

Melb 37                                                                          P.A     28   

Geel 32                                                                         Melb   28

Ess  31                                                                         Rich    28

    Happy mowing odm, but I reckon your formula has actually nailed the true order of teams this year. Love your work, get on to Gill!

    Too complicated for my poor ole brain!  But, I DID notice that if both Geelong and Port get rolled this weekend, and we win, we slot into THIRD spot on the ladder!  How cool would that be...?!!

    The way things are this season, being somewhere on the ladder means nothing until things progress and open out a bit more, such that there is a game or two break on where we are.

    It's also a good year to have a healthy percentage, which thankfully at the moment we have.

    That's the interesting thing.

    Each week I think that a logical result will mean that is the end of that club's chance to make the 8 and then comes an illogical result that makes it possible.

    I wrote Hawthorn off weeks ago but after last night they are still a low possibility. Swans .. who knows.

    This time last year the 8 was set and it was only North have such a diabolical second half to the season that maintained any interest and even then that was only in the last few weeks.

    Win against the Eagles and the Swans and we are up there big time. Lose both and we are very much back in the pack scrambling for the last position in the 8.

    My head hurts too much to try but there must be some head to head games coming up that will go a long way to determining the mathematical probabilities of each team. For example North have a comparatively easy run home but lose against the Bulldogs you would have to say they are out. Perhaps the same could be said about the Swans against Essendon and with even greater certainty if we beat them the next week.

    MFC v Adelaide in Darwin is shaping up as a potentially huge game should we string together wins over the next 3 weeks. Dare I say that it could be for a top 2 position and if not certainly for the top 4.

    Following your example of Dogs defeating North probably ending it for North, I'd reckon there are three other games this round which, combined, pretty much end finals hopes for the four losers.

    Essendon over Sydney

    Port over Collingwood

    Geelong over Fremantle

    Richmond defeating Carlton would provide the formality of ending the Blues theoretical hopes. Buuuut Carlton's one virtuous tradition is making Richmond fans cry, so we'll wait and see.

    And if those five games all go against the favourites, we're back in a ridiculous jam, with Collingwood, Sydney, Fremantle, Essendon and Cartlon all on six wins.

    St Kilda slipping up against Gold Coast would put both of them on 6 wins, too.

    Ha! In theory, we could have 10 teams sitting on 6 or 7 wins at the end of this round, with just 8 wins pushing a team into top 4, and 5 wins making you bottom 4.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
