Prediction The Rolling Outrageous Claims Thread

[CatToTheFuture]

Teams that look great in round 1 that weren't in last year's grand final rarely carry it through the year.

All things being constant with competitive balance and fixture integrity Melbourne, WB, NM, StK will not win another premiership.

Like ever? I think you need a timeline here

 

[Mad_Hatter]

Geelong will win another flag before the pies, hawks or tigers.

I think ifs should be against the rules catempire

Maybe but i cant endlessly defend it if the excuse comes true.

Tom stewart to all australian again (if he doesnt miss 7 games - if he misses 6 he will still make it)

 

[CoolCat75]

Hawkins will age backwards like Benjamin Button and play for another 4 years.

Geelong 3-peat with consecutive Norm Smith medalists : M.Holmes, B.Smith and J.Clarke

 

[Cataholic]

BT's commentary and IQ will become recognised and lauded as simply the best in the world of sport.

Your theory breaks down for the last two Premiers at least.

 

[JohnZ]

catempire new rule

nothing written after the word if gets counted as part of the outrageous claim.

Probably. But it intuitively feels like a smart call.

Probably. But it intuitively feels like a smart call.

I think that's the spirit of the thread. If it feels right it is right

Geez, big call.

 

[Kobe Gryant]

Geelong will reach 14 premierships before Richmond.

Geelong will reach 17 premierships before Essendon.

In 20 years time Geelong &
Hawthorn will rightly be looked at as the benchmark clubs as the new generation transcends into the media.

 

[CatToTheFuture]

I think we need a time frame for being able to measure the outcome here.

Maybe a limit that the outcome has to be measurable in current year? catempire

Sounds like someone who's scared of Selwood's grandson being the GOAT.

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Ok I got one.

Geelong will get a higher average output in full games played from 26 year old 178cm Shaun Mannagh than Collingwood will get from 26 year old 178cm Lachie Schulz.

Could be a substantial backfire in this for those playing at home

Good call, although I stuffed the precedent for that with my first outrageous claim.

You can wind it back '24 though

May be correct but will become very hard to assess in a few years

We'll have at least 2 more before 2030 imo

 

[allrighty]

That's not outrageous

 

[thecatattack]

That's not outrageous

It is if you asked the footy world considering we're expected to drop off a cliff ASAP.

(Also it wasn't an outrageous claim I was just replying to the post )
