The Drew Petrie Finals Predictor

[bontshow]

Drew Petrie is well known for being a downhill skiier, scoring heavily against cellar dwellers but failing to have an impact against the top sides. This is so extreme that in 2012, he came close to winning the Coleman medal with 57 goals for the season, but only 8 of them came against sides inside the top 8.

Given this, it seems that Petrie's performance from week to week is a good indicator of whether the opposition team is likely to make the finals. If Drew kicks 2 goals or more, they can forget about September. If not, lock em in!

Round 1: 0 goals v Essendon - finals bound!
Round 2: 2 goals v Western Bulldogs - have September off boys
Round 3: 0 goals v Port Adelaide - lock them in Eddie
Round 4: 1 goal v Sydney - well done Swannies
Round 5: 0 goals v Collingwood - let the Colliwobbles begin
Round 6: 2 goals v Fremantle - from runners up to missing finals!
Round 7: 1 goal v Gold Coast - the Suns make the 8 for the first time!
Round 8: Bye
Round 9: 1 goal 4 behinds v Brisbane - less than 2 goals but 5 scoring shots, jury is out
Round 10: 3 goals v Geelong - Junk time king at work, jury is out
Round 11: 2 goals v West Coast - another disappointing year for the Eagles
Round 12: 4 goals v Richmond - what a terrible year for the Tiges
Round 13: 1 goal v Adelaide - Crows looking good!
Round 14: 1 goal 5 behinds v Melbourne - dominant just inaccurate, not looking good for the Dees
Round 15: 4 goals v Brisbane - Drew's best game of the year, Brisbane are definitely out

Drew's 2014 Ladder:

Port Adelaide (0)
Collingwood (0)
Essendon (0)
Sydney (1)
Gold Coast (1)
Geelong (3 in junk time)
Fremantle (2)
West Coast (2)
Western Bulldogs (2)
Melbourne (1.5)
Brisbane (1.4,4)
Richmond (4)

Agreed. Seeing who Petrie plays shit against is usually a good indicator who which teams will be playing in September.

Can't wait until the season is over and we're in the top 8!









Hopefully we play finals.

Op's spot on.

Petrie averages the most goals against cellar dweller opposition like Western Bulldogs and Carlton.

Think he kicked 6 in 1 quarter in 07 or 08 when the Dogs were half decent

Played mainly in the ruck last night.

Plus I don't really buy into this downhillskier/flattrack status that he seems to get. Petrie's a gun.

 

[Kcrack]

Didn't he kick 20 against top 8 teams last year? Besides Lindsay Lohan's where it's at!

A gun at what?

 

[Lord Rod]

Wonder what would happen if Petrie lined up against Norf ?

My guess would be a career high bag of 12...

 

[Two Eyes]

Petrie's predictive powers are without question but he can only assess on field form. Ess to miss the 8 due to infractions/winter fadeouts.

Lindsay played well, didn't he? Holding up the forward line at the moment. Petrie should really be giving him a chop out.

The stats from two years ago were very damning though.

Lethal impersonation day?

Lethal impersonation day?

Holy crap you are right.

 

[bugalugs213]

Drew is hoping like hell that GWS keep up their good form for another 23 weeks.

 

[Atley]

Look up Petries stats in finals, its laughable and purely embarrassing for him.

 

[Paul Kersey]

Holy crap you are right.

It's incredible eh?

 

[Stan_Darsh72]

It's incredible eh?

Yeah it is

Death and Cooksen right on the money

 

[Paul Kersey]

This is uncanny.

 

[PhiloBeddoe]

Lethal

Solid return from Drew against the struggling Bulldogs. His 2 goals suggests the Bulldogs won't make the finals this year. The OP has been updated with the round 2 prediction

LOL Bullflogs.

Look up the Bullflogs stats in finals, they are laughable and purely embarrassing.

The Bulldogs are shit and should be delisted from the AFL. A reputable National Sporting organisation such as the AFL doesn't need this sort of rabble dragging the whole competition down to the level they do.
