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)

Driving with the rear view mirror, and an eye patch, and one arm tied behind your back........ 

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!!

  • AFLW PREVIEW: West Coast

    Epic battle alert.  This Sunday, Casey Fields hosts a coach’s showdown pitting the wits of the master Mick Stinear (92 games, 71.7% win rate) against his protégé Daisy Pearce (16 games, 43.8%). Still early in her coaching journey, Daisy’s record doesn’t yet reflect her impact — but she’s already the best-performed coach at West Coast.Dais’ is mythic.  Like Katniss Everdeen, everyone either wants to kiss her, kill her (sporting metaphor) or be her.  Toothers Daisy Pearce is a role model, someone admired for their heart, humility and humour.

  • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • 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.
