It was just one of those flags lost through bad kicking. There have not been many. Carlton won in 1947 with that sort of luck.
Good luck to the Hawks, they snagged one as well.

If you're referring to 2008, that's a fallacy that Geelong lost it through bad kicking. They actually had less scoring shots than Hawthorn. It only appears otherwise due to the large amount of intentionally rushed behinds by the Hawks defense. Something that wasn't against the rules at the time. A great strategy by the Hawks who possibly couldn't have won otherwise.

Be interesting to see that before/after 2000 and 1990. I wonder if the advent of better skills and modern coaching strategies might be responsible for the attacking bias.

Collingwood, Sydney, Freo and Hawks I have put down as losses
Adelaide x2, Bulldogs I have put 50/50
Other games should be wins but eh, you never know.
We could finish as high as 2nd or as low as 9th.
Absolutely no chance.
No reason why west coast can't win it. I'd have them favourite then the hawks
Maybe if we beat freo Hawks or swans then I'll give us a chance, even then they're all at home so probably not the absolute ultimate test. I guess thing with interstate sides is sometimes the only chance they get to play the best team at the G is GF day, so anything can happen. We need to finish 2nd and try and avoid freo in the finals.

I'd say you're favourite for the home match against Adelaide and Footscray, and 50/50 for Collingwood.
Theres a breakaway group of five now, but if collingwood was up there too I wouldnt be surprised. If collingwood have played few top teams, does that degrade their squiggle performance ?
Note if you interpret the grouping as 5+8+5, there is a fairly even spread of vic v non vic sides
Theres 3:2. Then 4:4. Then 3:2

In general you need to really belt a weak side to move the same as barely beating a good side. That's by design though. So they're likely exactly where they should be based on how they've played against who they've played.

You seem confident. How's the record been against Freo in recent times?

Yeh but get a weeks rest, I think Adelaide in 2006 were the last team to win a QF and not make the GF?
And maybe this century Saints in 05 and Syd in 03 were the only others not to make GF after winning QF.

Cheers I probably should've done that but was
1. Being a dickhead
2. Got some Ice cream from the fridge

What were the predictions for the grand final over the last 4 years after round 13?
Not at all, but i'd prefer to play against freo with our current side than against sydney (anywhere) or hawthorn in melbourne. However if we were playing each other next weekend i think we would win. A long way before finals however and we are 1 key injury away from being uncompetitive.
Three teams being past the point of the Geelong's 2009 flag is fascinating.
