Funny - we're the squiggle predicted premiers again despite losing /going backwards (before this game we were tipped to lose in an away prelim )

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Nice squiggle move for North.

If you were a firm believer in the flagpol, and a bit of a gambler, you'd probably consider Adelaide for the flag at $15 decent value.

If we can't/don't win the flag , I hope they do (as I do like Adelaide)

The biggest variable is whether they can make the top 4 - I don't think there's much doubt that they're a big chance if they can get the double chance.

Doesn't their fixture also open up for the next little bit too?

Edit: Probably moreso from round 15.

Please explain Final Siren ??

Use the expand all and scroll to the bottom of the home and away season

Basically it's because of rounding and because the dogs have improved
-we were on 16 wins (16. Something rounded down ) before the game, but remain on 16 wins (15. Something rounded up) after the game
-The dogs did better than expected so would've taken a fraction of win away from teams like north (who slipped from (16.something rounded up) 17 wins to 16 wins ( 16. Something rounded down to 16)

Shows how even things are

Ah that makes sense, cheers!

At the Crows-Saints game today thinking, "Sweet, we should outscore our predicted score and hold the Saints to less than they're predicted score. So our squiggle should move up and right towards the premiership zone!"

 

[MWPP]

Ah that makes sense, cheers!

Adelaide's better than expected win would've taken a fraction of a win off North too, but it's less significant , as we have 2 more games against them left (v your 1)

Haha this was me a few weeks ago at the Eagles v Saints game . Got to love how squiggle keeps even one-sided affairs interesting

 

[WhiskeyTangoFoxtrot]

First thought on the train ride home was to check the squiggle to see how much our movement was!

 

[Suma Magic]

Adelaide tipped to be Premiers!

Such a close season.

 

[The19thMan]

Adelaide the new flagpole leader!

I can live witih that

Definitely. Far and away play better at home. If they dont get top four with home final, dont like their chances

 

[MWPP]

Like every other team

Also like every other team
But who knows, this might just be the year where winning a QF /securing a home prelim + a week off doesn't end up being the advantage it usually is (due to the round 23 bye/the QF winners playing 1 game in 3 weeks....)

 

[BigVic]

Squiggle predicts us to go all the way. Not too excited given our poor record away from home this year.

 

[Xtreme]

It's up to Hawthorn to upset the squiggle and win from 8th

Agree. Watching the crows fairly regularly, the home ground seems to be far more prominent than other contenders.

 

[MWPP]

If we combine flagpole/the season forecast, Adelaide may just win from 5th, ala 1998 (even if it was a different finals system back then)

 

[MWPP]

Disagree. Unlike any of the below teams (bar Geelong), they haven't either lost an away game that they should've won or been comprehensively beaten in any of their away losses (ie they were competitive in their losses to Hawks/North/WB)

-Eagles- flat track (more like home track) bullies, enough said
-Hawthorn- embarrassed in their only interstate away game so far against a decent opponent (v. GWS), and didn't exactly smash Brisbane at the Gabba either
-Sydney- impressive win against Hawthorn and respectable loss to Adelaide in Adelaide, but also lost to Richmond, and were unimpressive against the Lions
-Bulldogs- lost to GWS and Geelong
-North- lost to Sydney
-GWS- lost to Adelaide/WB

Geelong are the only exception- they beat the Crows in Adelaide , but then went on to lose to Carlton and Collingwood . But then again, they also lost to GWS (albeit narrowly)

 

[The Speaker]

First bit of significant sideways movement for Adelaide all season. Won't be convinced unless they can do it multiple times.
