Of course it is and you mean today's result.

It only took 24 weeks for the Squiggle to work out what the Power Ranking's knew at the start of the year, that it would be a GWS/Cats GF and the Giants would be premiers.

The same Power Rankings thats had Gold Coast and Essendon #1 and #2 for the majority of the year :drunk:

You don't get it, you're not very smart, that's your issue.

With their full list those teams are very good. Something you can't calculate.

Essendon and Suns nearly beat GWS this year, despite missing the majority of their key players. Where does GWS rank now on everyone's model? Just took you a while... you're a little slow, ey.

Mate it's a bit rich you calling anyone slow around here. I'm as big a fan of your rankings as anyone but let's not muddy up the pages of a thread dedicated to actual football analytics with your special brand of slop.
 
I am hoping the premiership goes to a team in the GWS vs Hawks / Dogs match. The other prelim seems terrible and seems to have predictable teams in it.

The squiggle is looking quite sloppy this year. Oh the ironing.

I dont know who or what you are around this place but everywhere i see your name i see people calling a flog.

Hope this helps.
If you check from the start of this thread I was the first person to suggest the squiggle include a forecast, which is what 90% of what the discussion in this thread is about now.

I hope this helps.

Well aren't you good
 
I was gutted by Sydney's loss yesterday, but now I realise that it was merely the final step in the plan and that they are now positioned directly over their 2012 premiership. Brilliant! Sheer brilliance!

Wow the lights are going out on Broadway , or at least the flagpole. 4 lights left Adelaide , Bullies , Giants and Cats. Squiggle got 2/4 tips - Adelaide and Cats.

Anyone going to do some squigglin'?
Might post a gif of the round and some big movements
Why not...

round 24.PNG

Two - almost three - upsets in the first week of finals! Perhaps the end of season bye was to blame?

Thursday night the Dogs seemingly threw all they had at the Eagles and crushed them. West Coasts irresistible end of season form disappeared over the bye round while the Bulldogs were able to regain some energy and injured players to turn around some average late season form. Big positive movement for the Doggies this week and they'll likely need to carry that momentum forward if they want to win against what will be an angry Hawthorn side...

Friday night almost delivered another upset with a set shot after the siren by Hawk Isaac Smith to decide the game. Unfortunately for Hawthorn luck was not on their side this time so they'll return to the MCG this Friday night to battle the Doggies for a Preliminary Final spot. Geelong will enjoy another week off now but will this second break in as many weeks be too much time without playing by the time they play their Preliminary Final? Time will tell. Despite the loss there was positive movement for the Hawks this week as they got closer to Geelong than the Squiggle predicted. Likewise the Cats move down a little, but somehow I doubt they'll mind.

Saturday afternoon saw the other upset result with GWS jumping the Swans. GWS move deeper into premiership territory this week and while the Swans head down and to the left they are now sitting just about where they were when they won the 2012 premiership. With GWS set to play a home Preliminary Final against either an injury riddled Bulldogs or their ageing bunnies Hawthorn a spot in the Grand Final seems all but certain. The Swans will bounce back from their loss quickly but will face stiff opposition in the form of...

Adelaide. Despite having to wait an extra week due to the bye they still bounced back hard from their round 23 loss to West Coast to belt North Melbourne. They enjoyed some positive movement with their squiggle heading up, but a failure to keep North Melbourne to a lower score means they also move to the left away from the premiership zone. They likely have the hardest route to the flag of any of the teams remaining with a Semi Final this week against Sydney at the SCG, followed by a Preliminary Final against Geelong at the MCG, and then finally a Grand Final at the MCG against either a rampaging GWS or a Melbourne based side.

If things stay as they are the Squiggle predicts GWS will win their first of the next 7 flags. Though initially this might not seem like such a bad thing with many football fans probably happy as long as it's not Hawthorn, Sydney or Geelong winning another.
 
You forgot the flagpole though cryptor which is the better predictor ;)

Interesting that the lights seem to have gone out on the Swans and Hawks! That won't go down well squiggle...

The big movers were Adelaide once again back in top spot after conceding it to the Swans last round and the Giants making a similar move upwards, but not enough to dislodge the Swans from 2nd position. The upcoming weekend will see the lights official out on either of the top two teams on Flagpole.

Final Siren must have programmed it to turn the lights out on anyone who loses a game during finals. I wonder if should Hawthorn and/or Sydney win this week whether or not that will turn the light back on for them or not.

Final Siren hasn't programmed anything.
The squiggle is alive and he has spoken.

GWS v Crows GF
