The thing is we played a side that attacked down the corridor and only managed 55 points.:eek:

They didn't show the re-play, but someone (maybe Mattner from memory) definetly disputed it.

Was definetly a close one, it swung very late.
 
In 2000, Essendon at 13-0 only had a percentage of 161.18
 
The West Coast Eagles of 1991 had a percentage that high for most of 1991 and were still at 171% as late as round 20 before subsiding slightly to finish with 162% after 22 games (in a 24 round season).

And they didn't win the flag that year, either. A warning for all of us, I think. :confused:

It's the best stats site on the Internet if you ask me.
 
Well done to the Bulldogs who beat the eagles today
We are sitting one game clear on top of the ladder and playing 6 games of 9 at home.

Adelaide vs Sydney (SCG)
Adelaide vs Hawthorn (AAMI)
Adelaide vs Kangaroos (AAMI)
Adelaide vs West Coast (SUBIACO)
Adelaide vs Collingwood (AAMI)
Adelaide vs Fremantle (AAMI)
Adelaide vs W. Bulldogs (MCG)
Adelaide vs P. Adelaide (AAMI)
Adelaide vs Melbourne (AAMI)

Our run home isn't as easy as first thought playing certain 5 finalists in Sydney, West Coast, Collingwood, W. Bulldogs and Melbourne and possible finalists in Port and Fremantle.

Our greatest tests will be next week against Sydney, West Coast and Melbourne. I'd like to think that the other games should be in our favour but who knows anything can happen.

I think it's great that we're playing so many competitive teams towards the end of the season as it will prepare us to get into form for the finals and give the younger players some experience playing against quality opposition.

Good memory - it was Mattner. :thumbsu:

I saw it again tonight on Fox, and still wasn't convinced either way, because it did swing a lot very late.

But the record book says it is a goal, so it was. ;)

I got Ottens in my Dream Team really cheap a few weeks ago. So I say it was a goal. :p

I've got him in my Dream Team as well so I second the motion.

Move along. Nothing to see here. :p
 
Off topic slightly.:rolleyes:

Walked into my local TAB friday and put a fiver on us to win by 60 points or more.
When the lady who processed my bet saw what it was she passed comment that it was not a good bet.
I told her about our percentage and it being a home game and she did not respond.

As I walked away a bloke I know asked me what bet I just took and she told him and passed comment again on the likelyhood of it paying out.:eek:

Her ID badge had a Port Power strap on it.:thumbsd:

Thanks.

Though with the amount of scoring in those pre-WWI games, it's really only the equivalent of about 8 to 10 games today.

West Coast '91 is certainly the benchmark.

Not strictly true, because West Coast had a bye in Round 3 that year. After 13 rounds, their percentage was 195; after 13 games their percentage was 185.

As noted elsewhere, the Eagles were rolled at home in their first final that year, won 2 more finals at Waverley Park and then lost the Grand Final.

I just had a check of the site and couldnt find the handball receives. I think Mr. Goodwin had a few on the weekend and wanted to look up exactly how many he had.

Haha good stuff mate. How much was it paying? They shouldn't be able to comment on your bets. That should be against the job. Unless you ask i suppose.

With those pre 1920 percentages man they are amazing! I thought last year we had the best defence ever but surely some of those teams beat our defensive score?
