    And this was the champion Data predictions for 2017 made in March 2017... with actual finishing spots (deviation from predicted)...

    So Champion data...

    • Predicted two teams finishing spots accurately (Port 5th & Brissie last)
    • for the 16 teams they failed to predict accurately their average error was 3.875 spots on ladder out
    • They failed to predict the rise of Essendon (+8), Richmond (+7) and Geelong (+6)
    • They failed to predict the fall of Doggies (-7) and Collingwood (-6)

    FULL SIMULATION RESULTS (via Champion Data)

    1. GWS Giants - 17.1 wins - 99.2% chance of finals - 4th (-3)

    2. Sydney Swans - 14.5 - 89.5% - 6th (-4)

    3. Western Bulldogs - 14.4 - 89.3% - 10th (-7)

    4. Adelaide Crows - 14.2 - 86% - 1st (-3)

    5. Port Adelaide - 13.8 - 82.7% - 5th (0)

    6. West Coast Eagles - 13.3 - 75.6% - 8th (-2)

    7. Collingwood - 12.4 - 61.5% - 13th (-6)

    8. Geelong Cats - 12.4 - 61.1% - 2nd (+6)

    9. Hawthorn - 11.6 - 46.6% - 12th (-3)

    10. Richmond - 10.4 - 25.4% - 3rd (+7)

    11. Fremantle - 10.3 - 25% - 14th (-3)

    12. Melbourne - 10.2 - 23.1% - 9th (+3)

    13. St Kilda - 9.7 - 17.1% - 11th (+2)

    14. Gold Coast Suns - 8.9 - 8.9% - 17th (-3)

    15. Essendon - 8.2 - 5.2% - 7th (+8)

    16. North Melbourne - 7.6 - 3.1% - 15th (+1)

    17. Carlton - 5.5 - 0.2% - 16th (+1)

    18. Brisbane Lions - 3.6 - 0% - 18th (0)

    Here's my champion data prediction.

    Coll and Haw swap coaches, and Coll push for the 8, and Haw finish well outside it.

    Give Buckley GWS's list and they still finish outside the 8.

    "Champion" data could well be "Bloke down the pub" data for all the wisdom it imparts.

    collingwood is always over rated, they have not improved their list, wells will still be injured for most of the year, Elliott is still injured, champion data is always way off.

    Are they basing their prediction on a one way running midfield with questionable disposal? Collingwood’s backline is average and their forward line is below average.

    Collingwood finished 13th last year giving them an absolute arm chair of a ride in the draw. Brissie freo blues twice, first 8 games at the g (and a good start is always so important) so i think they will perform above how good their list is.

    And those 3 sides you states are more than capable of beating the filth.

    Yes but they Are ranked low according to champion data due to poor previous performance

    Champion data predictions are only relevant when predicting a good result for MFC

    It’s fun to speculate, but I can’t recall anyone predicting the Dogs in 16 and Tigers in 17 to win flags. Champion Data love the Magpies but Reid & Cox as key forwards and Dunn & Moore as the key backs, doesn’t sound to flash for me!

    To date pre season seems to have gone well, AFLX just a bit of fun, JLT beating North was positive, but best of all is the improvement of Melksham, Harmes, ANB, OMac and Salem to name a few, then pretty clear pre seasons for Max, Hogan, Hibberd and Brayshaw. Lever obviously a strong addition and Fritsch showing great signs.

    Even Viney & Jones preseasons really not much different to last year. Tyson preseason still ether than last year.

    It feels like we have at least a dozen players who have improved or are better prepared than going into round 1 last year and trying to pick the team for Geelong isn’t easy.

    Should be a great year! Hopefully finishing between 3-6!!

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.
