Our Losses

[PieLebo87]

Ive just realised a trend for this season.

Other then the Richmond game, where we debuted 3 players, we have actually lost the game we've debuted a player. Other then Sydney, when Clarke debuted.

Did we debut anyone for the Port game? Because every other game we've lost, we've had a 1st gamer. I know it doesn't mean anything, but thought it was an interesting little fact.

I am 99% sure we didn't debut anyone against Port...and who did we debut against West Coast ???

 

[piesflag07]

Did we have any choice though? In the end I think that we have got more out of our first year players than any club... apart from maybe Geelong.

Ok....

So "except" for Richmond and Sydney (where we debuted a player or more in each of those games), our losses have had first gamers? Port Adelaide had none from memory. So what you are saying is, that we have lost when we debuted 4 of our 9 first year players? Nicholls against West Coast, Goldsack against Bulldogs, Reid against Hawthorn, Stanley against Melbourne. On the other hand, Clarke, Cox, Dick, Toovey debuted and we won those games. So what is this theory trying to say?

It wouldn't be because for Nicholls, it was against the reigning premiers in Subiaco? Or because against the Bulldogs we couldn't kick straight, and the Dogs were at their best? Or against Hawthorn because they are a top 2 side, and we couldn't kick straight, again? Against Melbourne, well we played shit.

Well Im not actually saying anything, Im just noticing a trend, that in 4 of our 5 loses, we had a debutant. And we've only had 6 games this year were we've debuted players.

We've lost 4 of 6 games this year with a first gamer in.

I guess I must've been bored when I decided to look it up. Random info, thats all.

Might have another debut this week in the way of Nathan Brown, does that mean I should tip against us, NO WAY

 

[DeZi]

According to this theory we should debut BROWN and WELLINGHAM (or COOK)

 

[Tarkyn_24]

Why?

 

[DeZi]

Why?

According to the theory if we debut one player we tend to lose, but if we debut more then one player we tend to win

Clarke???

Sorry, he didn't fit the category. The administration thought he was five players.

 

[DeZi]

LoL he is equal to the best 22 of any other club (including WCE)

I was referring to the OP

Clarke > Greater than AA side ^100

 

[Tarkyn_24]

Clarke > Greater than AA side ^100

Contradictory, no.

When Clarke makes it, this year, the other 21 bring the standard down.

 

[Tarkyn_24]

Get on a Clarke Lockyer Brownlow double.

Tarks is just lucky Clarke decided to give him a head start
