Oh noes!

Interesting fact - We have now been beaten (in order) by 1st, 2nd and 3rd on the ladder.

My quote from another thread -

With Carlton's loss to Freo and Collingwood playing St Kilda if we lose to the Doggies the trend will likely continue,

St Kilda finished the round they beat us in 1st spot
Geelong finished the round they beat us in 2nd spot
Port finished the round they beat us in 3rd spot
Bulldogs could finish this round in 4th spot if they beat us.

I didn't mention it before because I though there was no way the WB would end up 4th after this round with the Blues having the 'bye' but now it's a little worrying.

It seems the ladder losses was more accurate than the WLWLWLWL theory.

Is this where I should mention that a win to the Lions next week could put them 5th?

*edit - that said for this one to eventuate collingwood need to beat st kilda for WB to be 4th.

Interesting...WLWLWL indicates terribly inconsistency, and yet the fact that we've lost to the teams currently in the top four suggests quite reliable consistency in that we simple can't beat sides that are better than us.

Form line, or quirk of our draw? I would rate Brisbane (esp. at home), Hawthorn, Essendon and probably Carlton as all being better than us despite varying form and consistency. Hate to be a pessimist but it could be a lean month or so...

Hang on, hang on.

So we lose... to teams that are better than us?

I'm really struggling understanding this.

Another statistical oddity broken this weekend too, the first time Sydney and and the Crows have had the same result all season.

Same could be said about the Crows and Collingwood.

Hahaha!

Yeah, wasn't meant to come across quite so obvious as that...I guess the point is that when we lost vs who we lost to paints a conflicting picture of our form. We had been consistent despite the WLWLWL record.

the trend continues - our 5th loss is to Brisbane now sitting in 5th spot
- and next week we play the 6th side Carlton

Then Hawthorn and then Essendon, the two sides rounding out the top 8, in order too
