Can you explain the score?

Can you explain the score?

For each team, calculate the difference between the predicted ladder position vs final ladder position (after finals, same order used in draft). Add the differences up to get the total.

I did this game on this board years and years ago, before I took a hiatus for a number of years. The key difference is it wasn’t about the ladder at the end of the year, the score was created after every rounds ladder position with the total for each player the combination of every rounds score, giving both a round winner and an overall game leader after each round. I remember using excel all those years ago and how much effort this game required. I recently reprised the game on another area of bigfooty that Im Involved in and have written a program that can calculate hundred of players every round with the same amount of effort as if it were just one player playing it. I was going to bring it back from the dead here, but definitely don’t want to step on anybody’s toes, hence why I was asking about your game.

My early ladder predictor has...

17 wins Brisbane, Sydney
16 wins Adelaide, Fremantle, Geelong, Gold Coast, GWS, Hawthorn
15 wins Bulldogs
14 wins Collingwood
12 wins St Kilda
9 wins Port
7 wins Carlton
6 wins North
5 wins Melbourne
3 wins Essendon, Richmond, West Coast

No Melbourne teams in the top 6 & the new top 10 helps out the fringe Melbourne teams.

1 Brisbane
2 Sydney
3 Gold Coast
4 Geelong
5 Adelaide
6 Fremantle
-----
7 GWS
8 Hawthorn
9 Western Bulldogs
10 Collingwood

11 St Kilda
12 Port Adelaide
13 Carlton
14 North Melbourne
15 Melbourne
16 Essendon
17 Richmond
18 West Coast

After reading the injury report I have dropped Adelaide from 3rd to 6th

Gonna be an interesting 10/11 weeks

I had us 7/4 in that time

Losing 2 players might hurt a bit but it really depends on how the rest of the team plays.
