Is Round 1. An Indicator Of Who Will Make Finals?

[Big Nasty]

Does Round 1 mean anything in terms of the season results?

 

[bzparkes]

Erm... no?

 

[The Thinker]

Erm... no?

Agree with the above, erm... no?

 

[Biggie]

A resounding NO.

 

[bzparkes]

Who the **** voted yes?

 

[Biggie]

Who the **** voted yes?

Rnd 1 winners perhaps?

 

[danzan22]

Rnd 1 winners perhaps?

Nope, i voted no.

 

[bzparkes]

Rnd 1 winners perhaps?

Come to think of it, you're entirely right. However we voted no and we were round 1 winners

 

[bzparkes]

Nope, i voted no.

Bombers looked good on weekend, think you'll do ok. As for most of the other scenarios....

 

[Biggie]

Nope, i voted no.

Could be a surprise packet this season.

Time will tell.....

Fingers Crossed, hard to get any worse than last year.

One game doesn't mean they will make the finals, but the bombers have added critical things to their side which will help them improve. (small forwards, a working forwardline, numbers down back)

Of round 1 losers I'd say Melbourne, Fremantle, Sydney and Geelong should make finals. So I dont think we can jump to any conclusions at all.

We beat Sydney round 1 last year and finished 15th.....they lost a granny by a point

It can be.

Most definitely does. It's 4 points, means the same as round 2 or 22 or any other home and away round.

 

[chickens_law]

Sydney lost to Bombers in R.1 last year and made the GF.

 

[Jeremias]

Usually no, but it can at times.

 

[giantroo]

No. Just check last year. Blues, roos, dons won their first round matches. Something in common. All three finished bottom 3.

It might but just look at fremantle. Lost 8 games in the first 10 or something and end up making the finals by winning 9 in a row.

Another example is sydney last year. Lost the first 3 of 5 and made the GF.
