Interesting article on AFL.com.au looking at how often clubs win after being 24+

The best and worst clubs at holding on to a big lead

Take a look at every club's record at coming back from a big deficit

www.afl.com.au

Win rate when down by 24+ points - since 2022
Club	Matches	Wins	Draws	Losses	Win %
Brisbane	25	11	0	14	44%
Collingwood	26	8	1	17	31%
Sydney	24	7	0	17	29%
Greater Western Sydney	34	7	0	27	21%
Fremantle	25	5	1	19	20%
Geelong	24	4	0	20	17%
St Kilda	28	4	0	24	14%
Richmond	43	5	0	38	12%
Melbourne	26	3	0	23	12%
Port Adelaide	27	3	0	24	11%
Western Bulldogs	28	3	0	25	11%
Carlton	23	2	0	21	9%
Essendon	36	3	0	33	8%
Gold Coast	30	2	0	28	7%
West Coast	59	2	0	57	3%
Hawthorn	33	1	0	32	3%
North Melbourne	55	1	0	54	2%
Adelaide	30	0	0	30	0%

So since 2022, if you get 24 points in front of the Crows, you win the game. Every single time.

I'd love to see how often we mounted a "brave" comeback only to lose by less than a goal because I have a picture of us in my head as not often rolling over and often pushing teams to the line. Just seems that when we do that we never win.

Really interesting to pair this with our results in close games (decided by 10 points or less)

Full list: Collingwood dethroned as the kings of the close finish

Check out how your club has fared in close games in recent seasons

Club	Matches	W-D-L	Win %
Port Adelaide	15	13-0-2	86.67
Collingwood	19	15-2-2	78.95
Greater Western Sydney	17	11-0-6	64.71
Carlton	16	10-1-5	62.50
Brisbane	13	8-1-4	61.54
Essendon	14	8-1-5	57.14
West Coast	9	4-0-5	44.44
Sydney	16	7-1-8	43.75
St Kilda	16	7-0-9	43.75
Hawthorn	12	5-0-7	41.67
Richmond	10	4-1-5	40.00
Gold Coast	10	4-0-6	40.00
Melbourne	18	7-0-11	38.89
Fremantle	12	4-1-7	33.33
North Melbourne	12	4-0-8	33.33
Geelong	14	3-1-10	21.43
Western Bulldogs	10	2-0-8	20.00
Adelaide	15	3-1-11	20.00

There are only two clubs in the bottom 6 of both stats: Adelaide and North Melbourne

We are the worst club in the league at comebacks, and the worst club in the league at winning close games. Basically, if you either get up by 24 points against us, or make it a close game to the end, you are almost certain to beat us.

And it appears like there's a strong correlation between being good in these areas, and being successful.

Is she still plssed that he left Richmond?

Probably... but doesn't take much to make her grumpy.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Can’t stand the woman

The better half caught some of Caro the other night for the 1st time & asked me who is she & why is she so negative with everything.

Told her not to bother watching, as I don't waste my time with the channel 9 & 7 talk shows.

Im assuming Balme was supporting Balta and Caro saying he shouldn’t play?
If so I think I agree with Caro.

Yeh not sure what the conversation was about exactly, I’m just happy that someone is prepared to go up against her

Caroline mentioned it last night on whatever the footy show she's on now in the evenings

It's pretty crazy how Ben Williams has gone from a Big Brother nuffie into one of the fastest growing AFL player managers.
I wonder why he has grown so big?
He is starting to rival Connors.

Because he's not a smart ass like Connors who always pushes the envelope too far hence the number of times he's had to be pulled into line by the AFL for his practices.

Torp!!!!

Bit of a fluff piece but I think it highlights the role/influence ANB is having at the club

I could make fun of this and say it should be a matter of course but its a Nicks led team

Not sure how accurate many of these figures are when it shows Port Power with over double the net assets

They've just completed a couple of funded redevelopments, we've been accelerating the write of our head office. Our nett assets will balloon once we realise the government funding for our thebarton development.

There used to be an unwritten rules that girls could play two years below their age group in mixed or boys teams (in lots of sports).

Worked well from my observations but I guess it gave off the wrong vibe in today's age

PC gone mad.

Has anyone else done it?

Had 2 mates come up and say hello as they were off there

Looked up the deets and it might be one of those brother to brother birthday presents we get each other

Happy sailing as our mate Mostyn jets off to represent us all at the pope's funeral.

I don’t know enough about them to get the joke. I know he’s insane and his current missus has done a couple of crazy things. But I know NFI about kardashian.
