Who is the arseiest team in history prior to Collingwood 2022?

[Greggy]

They’re the only team I’d be happy to play in September, you know you’re a good chance as it’ll probably be a close one.

 

[VinnieB]

As I write, they are currently busy squeaking it again… against Melbourne . Again.

Has there been anyone luckier?

You seem afraid?
I understand.

Margins say yes, 11 in a row says no.

I wouldn't call it arse, but these stats are amazing.

They're just lucky they don't have to play West Coast 22 times a year. Otherwise they'd be winless.

 

[Falcon3518]

WC was pretty lucky with Kennedy kicking goals on the siren in 18/19. That whole team got free kicks with 5 mins to go and never missed.

Maybe the 2016 dogs as well if you consider that season arsy.

No way? That isn't smashing one record.

...apparently. That's coincidental... Couldn't be culture yeah?

amazing - a series of stats I imagine vindicated by their staggeringly low % for a team a game clear in 2nd

 

[McOrist]

They’re the only team I’d be happy to play in September, you know you’re a good chance as it’ll probably be a close one.

I don't think you'll need to worry.

 

[McOrist]

Who was the last team to win a flag by percentage?

 

[sdfc]

Collingwood 2022 are clutch. No two-ways about it.

 

[cznsnowy91]

They are way better then I thought they'd be. Luck or not it's been a really impressive run of wins. Fun to watch as well.

 

[Ricketz]

Who was the last team to win a flag by percentage?

Dunno, but Melbourne are a huge chance to drop to 4th by the end of the weekend on percentage.

Gotta make the grand final before you can worry about flags.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

It's not luck, although there's an element of luck in everything.

They're just in hot form and continually getting it done. Momentum, confidence and belief makes it so, it's amazing what can be achieved when everyone buys in. They're full of confidence to will themselves over the line and they are executing perfectly.

Yeah nah… in close games there’s a huge degree of luck.

Probability isn’t neat and variance happens. You get hot runs and very cold runs of luck.

Pies are having one. It happens.

Maybe it’s balancing up all those grand finals!

What's the probability of a run like this?

 

[StonesThrow]

Essendon 1993 felt like a bit more of a momentum based year rather then overall talent.

How do you even remember that? I don't even remember how we were playing through the 2017 year.

Never change Geelong supporters.

 

[JayJ20]

They’ve proven themselves time and time again. Ok if it’s once or twice, but ordinary sides won’t do it consistently. Wins are all that matters at the moment and they have 11 in a row.

 

[PieLebo87]

Loving the saltiness

But absolutely loving the mature, level-headed responses from others too

 

[SA HAWK]

I bet they lose a close final.

 

[Orange Agent]

Bulldogs 2016.

 

[NetworkNerd]

You'd think Geelong would smash them by 10 goals with their superior defence.

But they have belief going for them at the moment

 

[upnsmoke]

Throughout the streak luck did play a factor but that can said amongst many teams and even champions in any sport. Luck is indeed part of sports.

But magpies winning closely regardless of the team they face means that their opponents can't figure out a pattern within the game to abuse them at; it also means pies don't give up and aren't fazed by deficits regardless of who their opponents are which means they have very good focus. And it also means pies players don't give up which is a key to a lot of winners.

I think pies are enjoying each game and are playing without pressure, at least not as much as a team like Melbourne and this really helps them play focused and loosely.

 

[OhhhhhCyril]

Reading this thread just makes me want Collingwood to win it all. It’s not arse, the team just wanted it more. I can think of many times Geelong, hawthorn, Richmond ect did the same thing, and nobody calls it that. Give credit to them.

 

[Fadge]

They are a 3-6 team currently sitting 2nd due to luck. Proof will come out in finals. I'd bet on them going out in semi finals

Oh well, at least since last week we've gone from being rated a 7-10 team to a 3-6 team.

Small steps I suppose...
