Hoping for the exact winning margin that keeps Collingwood in 3rd

I kind of suck at stats but even if we only win by a point doesn't their percentage drop to below the pies?

I seem to recall we lost a close game this season n our % went up.

Hoping for one more competitive effort. Go Lions.

I am normally over confident each week but nervous about today. Probably still haunted from last game last year (great to have Cam though).
I have been watching Berry very closely last few weeks. He is running on empty but his will and desire is very impressive. When the game is on the line his competitive instincts kick in and he steps up two levels. A no moon boot preseason will see bez leading our midfield next season.

Traditional wisdom is that in the wet the game will be closer but I don't think we are a wet weather footy team at all! We are a fast team without great marking key forwards. Though this is negated slightly with outs from WC, we have shortened in the betting this morning, due to reasons above I am less confident!

WC can lose and still finish 2nd I think, but would have to be a pretty close margin. I am sure someone will crunch the numbers.​

Bridge to Brisbane, wet weather and the early start might mean a smaller crowd...

Just started raining in New Farm, which means it's definitely raining at the Gabba.

Maybe if the rain takes the skills out we can beat them on guts?

If we were to win 100 to 99 their percentage would go down to 119.46%

It would need to be an extremely low scoring game for us to win and their percentage to remain higher than Collingwood, if we won 20 to 19 their percentage remains at 120.436 just above Collingwoods at 120.423.

That’s because we have a % less than 100.

It would need to be a ridiculously low scoring game for us to win and WC to remain above Collingwood. Unfortunately it looks like a home final for the pies week-1.

Let's get out there and create havoc with the top 4!!

Until the results of our game are known, they don't know who is playing who and where.

Cmon boys, dig deep one last time.

Draw anyone?

Then we don't lose but don't help Collingwood.

Fantastic result!

 

[kenberger]

I kind of suck at stats but even if we only win by a point doesn't their percentage drop to below the pies?

So... I guess I hope we draw then?

Well and truly beat me to that conclusion

Take my energy Lions. Nothing worse than having to sit through two GF losses in a row to the same team - you owe us one.

Any chance of the weather clearing?

 

[Redeye Rambler]

So pumped for today's game. Even with the rain, it should be a great game. It will be my first attempt at using brisbane public transport. Can anyone give me a tip on where I need to be in order to catch a bus to Roma st station. I'm pretty sure it is the 61. I've had a bit of a look at the translink site, but not 100% sure, with the stop closures today.

I live about 7ks from the Gabba and its ******* pouring down. Going to be a skill less gut and more about just bashing it forwards as much as possible.

Feels set in but you never know.

We owe you nothing!

This game will, like every game bar 2 at the Gabba pan out the same way.

We will go down by 4 or 5 goals, then once the pressure and expectation of winning is gone we will start playing.. then we will rope in the lead and invariably lose by a smallish margin.

And it will be chalked up as an honorable loss. Wet weather doesent help us either, we are skittish enough as it is, slippery conditions only end up magnifying this.

Loved this season, huge improvement all round, looking forward to a break.
