Could we do it? - No, we crapped the bed

If the results are split with a mirrored margin you both have the same percentage

No, the percentage is calculated as points for vs points against. So in my above scenario MFC % would be 111.11 (30/27 x 100) and NMFC would be 102.25 (136/133 x 100). The MFC game was lower scoring the points are more valuable, thus the 3 point margin is a greater relative distance than in the NMFC game. Because AFL is so high-scoring this is an arguably fairer way - than simply Points For/Points Against - of differentiating teams

Based on your link the points for/against are accumulated across both home and away matches rather than individually per match and compared

C'mon, North might still start a club-wide PED program and get booted out of the finals, there's still hope.

 

[Headless]

Proposing a board-wide ban on all forms of optimism until we've done the threepeat.

[RandB]

Do what?

 

[Ando727]

Oh well, if we can't beat Carlton when we have everything to play for and they have nothing to play for, we don't deserve it.

 

[Sylvia Saint]

In b4 Blaine Boekhurst kicks 6 and we lose to Carlton.

So Boekhurst didn't play but the superstars that are Nick Graham and Dylan Buckley combined for 5. ****ing predictable.
