Posts that were suspiciously accurate in predicting AFL events

Wow. This has to be a fake. WTF

i think it is fake, the text doesn't even match up

The predictions have since mysteriously disappeared.

Here's one hot off the press: North win 2016 flag.

 

[Haggard H]

So you're hoping a flag comes in the next 8 years then...

Definitely (hoping that is, not expecting)

Maybe we should get Dean Robinson down to Punt Road - that had immediate results for the Cats.

 

[JC Hawks]

Suspect we may see this in here at the end of the season....

Called Beams to Brisbane months before it happened. Copped a lot of hate and people telling me I was dreaming. Laughing in their faces now

OK Computer spot on here

I can't believe how overrated North are. Dogs played so piss-poor on friday night that ******* Melbourne could've beaten them. And to only win by 20 points against a side that played as bad as I've ever seen? They've done absolutely nothing to deserve this besides beating the Crows. Premiership teams don't have an average winning margin of 20 points against the likes of Freo, Brisbane, Suns and Melbourne. Yes, they will go 9-0 thanks to the easiest draw in the league, but then they have Syd-Rich-Cats-Hawks-Adel-WC in consecutive weeks after that. Won't even be in the top 4 come the bye. They will also end their season with Dogs-Hawks-Syd-Giants. I'd say they will just barely make the top 8.

Remember some bloke tipped Carlton to finish 9th and in an ironic twist they'll play finals and win the 1st week. Was before the Essendon scandal broke. I'm convinced he was Dr. Who and would love to find the post. It was freaky.

 

[Hobbes]

It would take some work to dig it up, but while North were 9-0 I wrote that they wouldn't get a home final.

 

[frenchfri12]

This in the leadup to the 2007 AFL grand final, got the margin a little low though.

Geelong will win by 16 goals,an in form Collingwood were their only danger, Port Adelaide will do a 'North'. Cats fan can start celebrating today because this is not going to be a St Kilda repeat.

Quality fred. This is the reason I keep coming back to Bigfooty. Despite the 99% of rubbish there is 1% gold.

How's that one going for ya?

 

[Mningasimisonda]

If not mentioned already, this one that was jokingly posted in next 5 years premiers thread in 2006 was a classic. Geelong were missing the finals and no one else was really talking them up.

2007-11: Geelong

No don't wake me, I'm so much happier here!

Running to the TAB to put my housemates house on Adelaide for the flag.

My mid season predictions in 2013, 2014 and 2015

Boldly said that Fremantle would not win the flag in 2013
Boldly said that Sydney had no hope of winning the grand final in 2014 (mid season too mind you)
Boldly said that Fremantle would not win the flag in 2015 despite being on top of the ladder WAY before their bad patch of form began

This isn't actually impressive at all when you think about it.

Every one of your statements was more likely to happen than it wouldn't. You literally boldy stated things that were a greater than a 50% chance of happening. No team is ever an odds-on chance to win the flag halfway through the year by any bookie. I don't have the numbers but I don't believe that Freo were paying less than $2 at any stage of the season last year.

Even now no team is paying less than about $3.50 for the flag so no team is a greater than 30% of winning the flag this year. Claiming any individual club as a result will not win the flag isn't that impressive as a result as I'm only saying something that's at least a 70%

I made my one and only thread once, predicted Qatar would win the right to host the 2022 world cup.
Not only was i laughed at, the thread was deleted.

none, mods deleted it, but there may be some here who remember it, it was in the htb

 

[STFU Donnie]

I made this post last year, suggesting that Adelaide should just let Dangerfield go, and then go on to win the flag:

Think about it. There have been two previous will he/won't he soap operas featuring players of Dangerfield's status:

Geelong 2010 with Gary Ablett. He went.
Geelong 2011 - PREMIERS

Hawthorn 2013 with Lance Franklin. He went.
Hawthorn 2014 - PREMIERS

Adelaide 2015 with Patrick Dangerfield.
???

I was, of course, writing in jest, though the responses it generated were quite amusing.

But now...

 

[who_let_the_dogs_out]

It would take some work to dig it up, but while North were 9-0 I wrote that they wouldn't get a home final.

Hardly the oracle on that one, you only had to look at their buttersoft first half of the fixture and their run home to work that one out. They had barely any injuries in the first half as well - with the amount of over 30's they have the injuries were always going to show up.

 

[maskmcgee]

So you're hoping a flag comes in the next 8 years then...

Won't happen, I'm sure

The following 2 are yet to be proven correct, but the signs are looking like I'll be on the money

Exactly on the money with that first prediction.
