I haven't done the math, and I am not sure I will, but the percentage system bothers me a bit. I wonder whether a "% differencial" system would be substantially fairer.

It is basically a point-differential system, but with every game being worthy 100 points. Those who know math around here, could you tell me whether this would improve the current system or it is just the same thing with other clothes?

---
TeamA%points + TeamB%points = 100.

Team%points = (TeamPoints*100)/(TotalPointsScored)

%Diff. = Team%points - Opponent%points
---
Then, it is just a matter of adding up the %Differential for every game throughout the season.

For instance, we have beaten Melbourne by 75-65, in a total of 140 points scored.

(75*100)/140= 53.57
(65*100)/140= 46.43

Port's %Diff. would have been +7.14
Melbourne's, -7.14

The sanfl use the system you describe. It's the one I grew up with so it made more sense to me. But essentially I don't think it would make any difference to ladder position

Those port flogs were right, we really aren't a club, just a corporation run by middle managers.

- paraphrasing some crows board poster.

That got likes. I'm actually not sure I'm comfortable with this level of enlightenment amongst their customer base.
For balance though, another poster said that where they have failed is in not controlling the media enough.

I hope there's further entertainment from crowland happening today.
That train wreck of a presser wouldn’t have satisfied anyone, especially when it started with Pyke and BirdBrain pretending they had no idea why they were actually facing the media ( ie nothing to see here) and ended with BirdBrain storming off.
