Our % and Sydney's %

[YelloMit]

Currently our % is 138.2.

Sydney's current % is 138.2.

Now if this is a stupid question, then I apologize, but if Sydney win today (btw, Saints are giving a good hard go at the moment), but what is the most they can win by without sustaining or gaining %? I'm no good with maths, so I need to know these things.

 

[Bradesmaen]

It all depends on what St Kilda kicks. If its a low scoring game then we need Sydney to win by stuff all. If it is a high scoring game then they can win by more..

Say they win 80 to 60... then their % actually goes down.

 

[holy diver]

Wouldn't it be nice if the Swans fell to the Saints today..

all well, back to reality.

 

[WishMellingtons]

For every ten points saint kilda score, Sydney need to score 4 more than them. Technically that would just put them above us, so less than fourteen per ten saints score

 

[Bradesmaen]

Sydneys new % is 139.7

 

[YelloMit]

Well shit. At least we were 3rd for about 2 hours.

 

[Randomizor]

Sydneys new % is 139.7

140.67%...

 

[Bradesmaen]

140.67%...

Fail maths. was doing 1500 not 1490. I do need my holiday.

For us to finish 2nd Sydney needs to beat Geelong next week then Hawthorn beat Sydney the next week.
That is of course that we win our last two.
I think that's right

Sydney could win both,and we could still get past them to 2nd place

theres another scenario, if North beat Hawks next week.
We aren't going to know our fate til the last game is over.

 

[Taylor]

Geelong only need to lose one game and we will finish second. Sydney won't maintain their percentage against Geelong and Hawthorn.

Geelong only need to lose one game and we will finish second. Sydney won't maintain their percentage against Geelong and Hawthorn.

If we were to win both games by 30 points we can still pass Sydney if they win both games by 12 or less ( each game ).
We are a strong chance to finish 2nd.

I knew there would be other scenarios but it all just gets way to confusing for my little brain

Pretty much. We'd need to win our 2 by about 6 goals more than Sydney win their 2. And really, we should.

Port are going to be no pushover though, especially considering that we're probably not as AFL match hardened after the last couple of weeks.

Geelong v Sydney - Go Swans
Norf v Horks - Go Norf

Sydney v Horks - Go Swans if Horks lose to Norf. Otherwise, go Horks.

 

[Taylor]

Hartlett explodes with a few goals when they toppled the bigger teams this year, if he doesn't play it's a massive out. He is one of their most important players.

 

[Purple_ppl_eata]

And if Sydney win last two by avg 12pts, we win our last 2 by avg 30pts, and Hawthorn somehow miraculously lose to Nth next weekend, we will finish 1st

So many scenarios

We played Melbourne, they played GS. We played GWS, they played Geelong. Sounds pretty even to me

As much as I would love to see that, I can't see the Hawks losing to Norfs.

Me either . In fact, as that scenario would prob drop hawks down to 4th, i dont know if id want it, id be more confident taking on Geelong than Hawks first up.

Geelong v Sydney - Go Swans
Norf v Horks - Go Norf

Sydney v Horks - Go Swans if Horks lose to Norf. Otherwise, go Horks.

Best chance is SYD def GEE at Simmonds... and thats a longshot. We couldnt predict what Norf's game will be v. HAW. They'll probably put us in cardiac with some last qtr submission.

Port looms as danger game. Got the feeling from RTB in postmatch that now top4 is locked in they might be looking at rest for a couple...

Glad we are locked into top 4 no matter the spin.

 

[Taylor]

We should have an idea how Geelong v Sydney is going by the time our game starts, if the Cats are up by six goals we might have a few key outs.
