I guess Dan26 gave up on this thread once it was evident that Essendon were going to have another average season

Who could ever have foreseen that?

The best thing about Essendon is that the whole club think they are contenders every year.

That may be true, but how are they stacking up in the 2020 Roy Morgan polling?

For those old enough to remember, the AFL actually used this measurement for determining the ladder in 1991. They called it "Match Ratio". They have never officially gone back to it, even though they use it in almost all American sport.

Ladder is updated following Fremantle's win.

 

[BF Tiger]

Can we get an update on days since Essendon won a final?

Well, yes you can. It is 5831 days.

6000 days just about guaranteed.

I remember it. It was the reason I hated staggered byes.

I actually like it. Just a personal thing; the accuracy of it. That's the whole point of a ladder - to determine accurately where teams stand at all times.

No point with even numbers of teams. When we had 15 teams it was necessary. People can work it out for themselves.

It doesn't determine the strength of teams played vs those remaining so accuracy is in the eye of the beholder anyway.

Must be due a refresh

Are Essendon in their "very good place" now?
