Certified Legendary Thread Squiggle 2017

[LeverPuller]

Overly generous to Hawthorn..... unlike Mick and Carlton I fail to see where the Hawks will win a game this year... j/k

Gotta keep fighting and turn things around after round 1.

Any team that loses to Essendon early is going to cop a Squiggle pasting.

I wasn't complaining, actually surprised as I feel it could be a bigger drop as in 14th-18th by seasons end.

The Squiggle genuinely makes my life better.

Like a phoenix rising from its own ashes!

Crows and GWS GF coming up

Well Squiggle totally had me fooled last year, like a Trump voter in the last US elections I ate it up believing all the promises.....now I'm back for more.
LONG LIVE THE SQUIGGLE.

Did you tip more than the bookies in 2016?

Did you tip more than the bookies in 2016?

According to the website, performance varies from 69% to 79%, with the worst result last year. Bookies average about 72%.

It's Geelongs flag to lose.

Round 2, 2017

Not as much dramatic squiggling this week, with most results falling somewhere around expectations. But a great one to be a Port Adelaide fan!

Port had the best week by solidifying their finals' claims in an 89-point hammering of Fremantle. As a result, the top 7 is already LOCKED IN:

I may be going early on that. That isn't really a sure thing. But right now there are seven teams who will probably be playing finals, plus a whole mess of teams who might.

The other top 6 teams - Adelaide, the Bulldogs, GWS, Sydney, and West Coast - also had pretty good weeks, or least not terrible ones. But that's the problem: they all did. So no-one stole a break.

The Crows, for example, would be very happy with their win over the Hawks, but even though GWS's 102-point demolition of Gold Coast proved that Adelaide's Round 1 victory really meant something, so too did it confirm that the Giants are a serious obstacle to the flag. So it's a good news/bad news situation.

The Swans and Cats are an interesting pair. You would probably rather be Sydney, who put up a good fight against the Bulldogs despite a raft of injuries. But the fact that Geelong are now 2-0 while Sydney are 0-2 is starting to bite. There isn't usually much room for error at the top of the ladder, so although Sydney are rated the better team, the question becomes whether they're so much better that they can overtake the Cats after giving them a 2-win head start.

North Melbourne had about as good a week as you can have when you lose by one point. And Gold Coast had about as good a week as you can have when you lose by 102, because Fremantle and Brisbane showed they're bad enough to compete for the spoon, and Carlton doesn't look like breaking out of the bottom 4, either.

Not much action on Flagpole this week, since it already loved Adelaide, and expected nothing less from them than what they delivered. But a handy bump for the Giants, Bulldogs, and Port.

I think Squiggle is going to get thrown a bit by Essendon and Brisbane this year, as well as Hawthorn.

But I've been wrong before.

We've put a nice gap between us and the cellar, which is a nice feeling

Squiggle does take time to adjust.

I think it is still over rating both Geelong and North.
Essendon and Brisbane are clearly better than currently rated.

Makes sense really. Obviously Essendon's starting point should be a lot better than it was. And the flow on to Brisbane is that even though we played a lot better than last year - you are artificially bad so the loss looks bad. I feel like we have shown enough in the last few weeks to move positively on the graph, but thats not to be

It'll take unexpected wins or close losses to teams the squiggle considers a tier above to get that line moving in the right direction. I for one think it will happen, with Freo taking your former residence on the graph.

Brisbane about to go off the charts

Interesting that everyone is going more attacking than they're defending, is that a case of the seasons still early and Playing on dry decks or is the AFL getting what they want

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

The Bombers are going to cause some strange Squiggle movements until their positioning evens out. Lions going backwards because of how bad the Bombers supposedly are.

Hard to say. Last year was pretty attacking for the first 8 rounds before going defensive again, but you'd have to go back a fair way (2008?) to find a more attacking start to a season than this one.

It's a bit of both I think, IMO we'll see average scores get back to at least pre-2014 levels, and quite easily could be higher.

On Brisbane, I think its fairly standard for any new coach of a team in disarray to work on defence first.

I think the AFL have worked towards this but its also generated by coaches. The Interchange has stopped that hard defensive press that needs a lot of gut running then rest
