Champion Data simulated season

[Luv_our_club]

They've simulated the 2018 season 100,000 times based on their team and player rankings to come out with the result, which seems like it'll have the Pies in finals more often than not.

 

[Blue and Silver]

Great.

So if all player play like they did last year, it's all sorted.

That seems likely, right?

I'm not getting my hopes up

We polled 100 ordinary football fans and the survey says....that footy statistics are over valued in football analysis.

 

[RUNVS]

So Sydney vs Port Adelaide at the SCG in week 1 of the finals. Lock it in

Finals simulation?

Last 2 years actually, but yeah.

I mean, nothing ever changes, does it?

 

[Brennan Huff]

Collingwood 7th. Bahahaha.

Worst prediction I've ever seen

[Benno_900]

According to Champion Data, the following players are elite:

Daniel Rich
Jack Crisp
Dan Menzel
Aaron Hall
Jack Sinclair
Tom Papley

So yeah ...

 

[stabler]

Champion data are a ****ing joke

 

[aussierulesrules]

The problem is that they're trying to predict what will happen this year, based off what has happened in the past year or two.

So if we were going back in time to play these games it would be a good chance of being accurate, but we're not, we're playing them this year, and teams and those within them will perform differently this year to how they did in the last year or two, so it's obviously not likely to be super-accurate.

Next.

It's ridiculous for a variety of reasons, but the weirdest part is how West Coast are 12th despite finishing 6th and 7th in the past 2 years where the data comes from.

Like, I know the loss of Priddis leaves a large hole, but come on...

What about the intangibles?

Spirit? Doggedness? Stickability? Moral? Sacrafice? Mateship?

Not to mention the hours and hours of meditation! How do you measure the meditation factor?

 

[This Is Anfield]

So Sydney vs Port Adelaide at the SCG in week 1 of the finals. Lock it in

Played at Kardinia Park.

Nostradamus rang. Said he's unavailable.

I can however recommend this bloke, grasshopper.


Other than that....i'm struggling to think what you could possibly expect people to use when compiling a prediction piece.
You expect them to predict whatever YOU predict, consult the soothsayers, run it past a few wise Hobbits and Wizards, then write it up as somehow "accurate".

How the Fk can it be "super accurate" ?

Through meditation, obviously.

You forgot about "shinboner spirit". No metrics could ever calculate the sheer importance of the shinboner way

But I'm not expecting any more from them, due to the fact they are basing what they predict will happen on what has happened in the past, rather than trying to predict what will happen this year- in particular, which clubs have the biggest scope for improvement due to young lists etc.

You guys need to chill the * out. This is simply a statistical model.

 

[Dan87]

Sydney vs. Adelaide would be an epic grand final

Unfortunately a hangover incoming for Adelaide IMO

Not really

 

[Lavender Bushranger]

That chart makes no sense to me.

 

[DaveLister]

where is their preseason prediction of last year? I'd like to see how well that prediction was
