A large part of the reason your defence is good is because of how good your midfield is in contested situations. You get the ball to ground in defence and get a ball up or out of bounds and with your midfield grunt you will clear it significantly more often than most teams in this manner.

We have some great defenders in our side but I agree. We're a great defensive team more so than having a great backline.

For your prediction to come off it requires Hawthorn to have gone:

Loss (Melbourne) - check
Win (North Melbourne) - check
Loss (West Coast) - check
Win (Collingwood)
Loss (Sydney)
Win (GWS)
Loss (Adelaide)

Cheers for the update mate. I already conceded back in post #8011 that this could actually in fact occur based on our odds of winning in each of the individual games.

Shifting all the premiership cups to the end of the Home & Away season looks like this:

This chart displays less information than usual, though, because it hides the difference between teams that maintained their form to win the flag vs those that mounted a charge in September. For example, you can't think that just because your team is near Hawthorn 2008 here, it's on track for a flag, unless you also plan on a Hawthorn 2008-like finals surge.

The regular squiggle chart shows where premiers wind up, and so where your team probably needs to get to by the end of the year, one way or another.

I would argue that the positions after the GF show what happens to a team that wins 3 in a row. What you need is shown here and are the home and away performances that predict a team winning those 3 games. Another might be premier's relative position from the team that the squiggle had at the head of the flag pole at the end of the home and away season (if you wanted to see how unlikely the Hawks 2008 premiership was for example).

Hawks already took that from you.

That's true.

But the Hawks-Eagles game was virtually even-money. Going into this Showdown, Adelaide were the shortest-priced favourites in Showdown history. Had we succumbed to the pressure and lost, it would've really brought back nightmares. Missing the top 2 would have made it much more likely that we'd have to face your mob in Melbourne during finals .... but then again, it's not like the Cats would be scared to play us at Adelaide Oval. :cool:

I love that the Crows' squiggle is the only squiggle that hasn't crossed squiggles with any other team's squiggle.

They are the chosen one.

Try to imagine all life as you know it stopping instantaneously and every molecule in your body exploding at the speed of light. That's what we're dealing with here.
