Number of ways to map it out

Pies about to play their 7th bottom 8 side, we have played only 5

Indeed, oh my

Minor details, you can only play who's in front of you. After today we shall be ahead of you and we will feast like kings, albeit just for a week

Carlton	Geelong	Richmond	GWS	Doggies	Norfs	Port	Collingwood	Hawthorn	WC	Saints
Collingwood	Norfs	GC	Essendon	Geelong	Hawthorn	Richmond	Carlton	Sydney	Brisbane	Melbourne

I am fairly confident that both teams will win the games in green.

Fair test for both sides leading up to finals from here.

Ive bolded which games are harder to win ( IMO ) on a week to week basis - again fairly even...

Rest of the year leading up to finals will make for interesting banter and some each way games to give each other plenty of nervous moments...

 

[Robertio]

Do you care to highlight the vagaries of that table?

For example, it seems the games against Richmond and Brisbane (who started the season appallingly) are excluded for Carlton, but Collingwood are credited for their win against 17th placed Brisbane, and have their games against GWS in Sydney and the ladder leaders Sydney excluded...

Five weeks since Pies played a top 8 side while the Blues have knocked off 2nd and 3rd teams.

Using the current ladder for argument's sake Carlton have only played one bottom 8 side since the end of Round 5 and that was Melbourne who had just beaten the undefeated Cats and were sitting 4th at the time. This is why I think going off the current ladder for past games is not the best way to do it.

 

[Robertio]

This is even funnier. Trying to match up the ladder position at the time rofl. So a team in the 8 who may be 15th now is considered a hard draw. Oh my

We are going by the rules you blokes set earlier in the season.

Be a bit dumb to feast like kings knowing you're not playing next week.

We're Collingwood supporters, we'll feast on anything

And yet Carlton have the played both the bottom 2 and Collingwood have played none. Yes, oh my.

 

[carlton_99]

And yet Carlton have the played both the bottom 2 and Collingwood have played none. Yes, oh my.

So I guess Carlton have had the easiest draw in the AFL then because they have played 100% of the bottom 2?

Who cares about the other 11 games let's just focus on 2...

Even better, let's take it one week at a time

 

[South of the Yarra]

The difference is Collingwood really don’t care who we play.

 

[carlton_99]

So someone said Carlton had the most difficult draw. You disagreed then provided no argument otherwise except "they have played the bottom 2". Now it's "Carlton care who they play and Collingwood don't"?

If you don't care about the fixture why respond in the first place...?

 

[manicpie]

That's what separates us from the bloose. They seem too fixated on minor details.

 

[Arr0w]

Good try at a deflection

7 bottom 8 sides to 5 and as of next week which brings our games back to parity, 7 top 8 sides to 6

Oh my indeed

Yet, you are engaging in the debate

Richmond did beat the Swans - regardless evaluating a fixture just off 2/13 games is way off

At the end of the day I'm comfortable with the ladder, will be nice to have a softie though

Why do Carlton play nmfc twice?

Why do Carlton play nmfc twice?

Good win last night uncle.

 

[Arr0w]

Why do Carlton play nmfc twice?

We would you care

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

We would you care

It is a tough call on nmfc having to play a mid table team twice
