Make it Hawthorn related?? Says the guy giving he's two cents about Dangerfield
My mistake. How silly of me to think that I could express an opinion about a player while being a supporter of Hawthorn. Forgot that Geelong are as protected off the field as they are on.
 
He managed to throw a Selwood jibe in there as well and then cry innocent. Just another Hawfie proudly displaying his red raw bottom for everyone to see.
Oh dear! Not a jibe! Are you sure you're not the one a bit raw there? So precious...
 
Typical Geelong supporter always having to make it Hawthorn related. I know our supporter base live rent free in your head but every supporter base should be able to see the funny side of Dangerfield losing to Adelaide in a GF this year.
You are the one trolling with the Selwood comments.. Going to be an interesting September

Come on guys. Leave the squiggle thread alone. No room for this bickering in here.

Squiggle is love. Squiggle is life. Squiggle is a demilatarised zone.
 
Final Siren is there one team this year that The Squiggle has been better at forecasting and picking the margins?
The easiest team to predict is the squiggle that moves the least.
Freo, Brisbane and Essendon have had results closest to what the squiggle predicted.
 
Jeezus! Hope you don't present charts for a living.
i remember in the beginning this post had 50+ likes. Seems a few people have sheepishly unliked it once they realised the awesomeness of the squiggle ;)

Round 15, 2016

These bye weeks are so unfulfilling. I have to do a whole chart but only some teams have played. It just feels half-arsed. And I tell you what, it doesn't help that Richmond is spudding it up. Anyway:

THIS WEEK NOT MUCH HAPPENED. Apologies to Bulldogs fans, who saw a thrilling upset in Sydney. That was pretty good. But they were already one of those teams that could finish anywhere from 1st to 8th and they're still that. So for the most dramatic thing that happened in football this week, it's just not that dramatic.

Collingwood and Carlton combined to kick three goals in one somnolent half of football in what must have been a real thriller for the crowd of 56,000 at the 'G. I have no idea what happened in this match. I didn't watch it. I don't remember a lot of rain over the weekend so I can only assume that they lost all their footballs, or the ground was blanketed in thick fog, causing players to become lost and get run over on Punt Road. Something like that. Whatever it was, it sent those teams racing off towards Fremantle territory, which seems like fair punishment.

Gold Coast have apparently entered their Third Act, i.e.:
Act 1 (Rounds 1-3): Pretty good
Act 2 (Rounds 4-11): Awful
Act 3 (Rounds 12+): Pretty good

Meanwhile, Adelaide and West Coast did enough to hold ground.

Ladder predictor! I fear for that chart I do at the end of the year comparing this to the final ladder. It could be ugly. The Top 8 remains a twitchy clusterhug of evenness, with teams leaping up and tumbling down after each week's (or game's) results.

Flagpole! It's still viva la crow.

Luckily next week we get a return to real football, where all the teams play. Port Adelaide vs Hawthorn should be interesting.

Live squiggle! Remember: always squiggle responsibly.

Final Siren - Is there any chance you could add a "predict score" to the squiggle? Even just on the "tips" page - whereby putting our tip in it recalculates the squiggle/finals based on that result?

Eg, Hawthorn predicted to lose to Port by ~10 points - if Hawthorn win by a point, what does that do to squiggle prediction the rest of the year?

Looks like the West Coast/North game is going to test out the Squiggles predictive powers as it seems to be tipping both sides with a high degree of accuracy so far.

If WC lose I'm going to go ahead and say Squig is broken :p
