Well I guess going 7-2 against the other top 6 team that year means that by us being the worst, 2007 must have been the worst year and Geelong the default premier.

Great opinion there...
Yeah Lyon had almost beaten the Grant Thomas influence out of the team by then. Miracle you couldn't win a flag with those players.
The runner up is the 1st loser.
Only Big Footy would turn into a competition over which team was the best loser of the century.

Hawthorn 2012 would be up there. I thought we played some fantastic attacking football. Our percentage was 150%+.
If it wasn't for some arsey Malceski goals who knows whether we would have gone four in a row or not.

It is the last year of the 20th century
Yes, and also not part of the 1900's for talking about periods of football discussion.
Numbers really are not hard to get your head around but some cannot help but tie themselves in a mental knot about them. It is fun stuff to always observe.
Are you kidding? That 2011 team was consistently dominant all season go back and have a look
If that is not dominant then I don't know what is

What's to argue about, I think your comment is ludicrous but whatever.

and how so Port Adelaide 2007 were absolutely terrible they got flogged by 119 name one gf team they would beat
Sure. If you use one game as an indicator of the quality of a team in an entire season. Most can see past that.
Can you tell me how any other team would have gone in the GF? No. You cant. Purely hypothetical. 3 games before that GF, Port Adelaide beat Geelong at Kardinia Park. Does that matter? No because it wasnt the GF, but it was an indication that the GF may have been more of an anomaly than you think.

Port Adelaide won only 15 games during the Home and Away season that year and had the weakest % of teams to play in the gf since Collingwood 2002 they were a average team who only got to the grand final due to playing in a weak year
There was another team that only won 15 games during H&A and had a whole 3% better percentage than that. With no Geelong 2007 quality side to play against, and a Grand Final at home against an interstate team that finished top, they managed to win their first flag in 35 years. Good on em, winners are grinners.
37, get it right 119 guy.

While there was no side of the quality of Geelong 2007 all the top 4 sides would have finished above Port Adelaide 2007

Whilst I do not condone your request for an autistic within a derogatory context we already have the ultimate stat bot on Foxtel. Get a subscription there's a bloke on there they call their head scientist who makes a living out of doing exactly what you suggest.

Closer to spoon 20 than flag 20 more likelyBy 15 years we will be around premiership number 20 the way I see it.
Wide.Closer to spoon 20 than flag 20 more likely
As usual. Tiggy fan whom cannot count.
There is not even enough years in that time for us to reach 20 spoonies.
Work on your deliveries. Delivering pies.
