Certified Legendary Thread Squiggle 2017

All the contenders from the first 6 rounds did a unified Snagglepuss "exit stage left even".

Brisbane looks so lonely out there all by themselves

They picked a worse coach than Leppa, if that is possible. Don't buy into the "Hawthorn" hype!

Disagree wholeheartedly.

You're a national treasure Max

Speaking of Richmond, they remain an excellent chance of losing an Elimination Final, or possibly falling short in the final rounds and finishing 9th. So that's really promising. You know, it's not even the fact that we lost to the Bulldogs, because we were closer than I expected, it's just the way it went down. Like a horror movie where the serial killer is shambling along the corridor behind the girl and she's trying all the door handles and you're just like RUN YOU GORMLESS MORON and it seems like forever before the killer reaches her and raises his arm and says, "Deliberate out of bounds."

This is amazing

We're in a pretty weird position. There have been question marks over the Crows' defence for at least five years now, even as our attack has grown into the best in the league. But giving up 67 points in a first quarter without a score? That's monstrously bad, and also monstrously tough and good football by North.

This problem of suddenly letting through lots of goals from the opposition is now going to be hanging over Adelaide's heads until they prove otherwise in finals. Happened in the opening quarters of the 2015 and 2016 semis as well.

Adelaide probably can't win the flag unless they squiggle to the right (and stay there this time!)

Hey, we're not that bad. It was only 64 points in the first quarter, not 67!

Technically it was stage right (as stage right and left are done from the perspective of the performers). So their right is our left.

Never question The Snagglepuss!

Essendon is heading over to give them a hug.

Good god almighty no

Goodbye bigfooty

Richmond finish 8th, relocating West Coast to 9th.

Didn't realise that luck thingy went to 110%

What the.
The prediction changed
No longer is Adelaide going 24-1 only losing the gf to port by 10 points
It's now Adelaide going 23-2 winning out until losing the gf to the bulldogs by 1 point

Marginally better but still heart wrenching

Chin up mate, you didn't just finish 9th to Richmond

 

[The_Flying_Egg]

while being told the entire time by David King they were complete shit house, even after they made it to the Grand Final

Good old Kingy spent the whole of last year with his damn attack/defense quadrant thingy .. you had to be in one of the quarters to win the flag. Dogs weren't in it .. seems to have been removed from his repertoire

Found an interesting sliding door reality where Sydney manage to sneak in as 7th, beat St Kilda in the Elimination Final, knock off Geelong in the semi, squeeze past GWS in a prelim and then get thrashed by Adelaide in the Grand Final.

It's like the Bulldogs tale from last year except with Sydney returning to their standard Grand Final form at the end there. Fascinating.

I'd kind of like this to happen. In fact it's almost best case scenario

Does it state whether they blame the umpires?

IMO the squiggle seriously overrates North Melbourne. Yes they beat the crows but surely thats just a one off. No way are they a top 8 side.

North have had the toughest draw so far ... by a fair way, followed by the Hawks. Geelong / Bulldogs the easiest. Based on Premiership points:



Using the current Premiership points and extending the weighting across the whole season fixture, you get this:



This might give you an indication of who has got the tougher / easier fixture to come (based on results so far).

I find it's a bit whacky until about round 10 ... then trends start to emerge

I like this but I think it would work better if you didn't include the results from the teams individual matchups. For example North are more likely to have their opponents have a higher points average because 5 of their opponents got 4 points by beating North. That's 20 points added to the opponents average, while the Crows only have 4 points added to their opponents average

Our first 5 rounds were easy based on the points of respective sides we've played.

GWS away, Richmond home, WCE away, Geelong away and St Kilda is far tougher and will balance us out/give a reflection of where we are coming into our bye.

However, I expect us to improve after our bye once we have a stack of best 22 players returning.

Yeah, so far the Bulldogs haven't really impressed. At least at 5-2 they haven't fallen off the pace. You're right - the next few weeks will give us a much stronger idea of where they are.
