The Collingwood/MCG myth?

[Thinline]

They've only won 54% of their home games this year...

Their strength is their away form - 81% success rate.

[3rd generation saint]

Didn't help them in last years final, or the two Grand Finals against Lions.

Nice stat, Thinline....now I'm even more excited.

Intersting, they play a lot at the G, thats a poor record, while we have a 100% record at the G this year

I think there is something wrong with the stats.

Collingwood have played 14 games at the MCG this year, 9 "Home" games and 5 "Away" games. They won 7 of their 9 (78%) and 3 of their 5 (60%), or 10 from 14 (71%). Granted, because they played two "home" games at Docklands and lost both, their home record looks like 7 from 11 or 64%. They won 5 of their "true" 8 Away games (63%). All of which seems to prove little, except that we would have been better off playing them at Docklands. But since they haven't beaten us in a final for 43 years, we shouldn't worry stratospherically.

[Thinline]

To be honest Perfectionist I took them from The Age preview and didn't check them.

I thought they looked a little skewy, but thought I'd post anyway.

[Milton66]

What's Collingwoods win/los record in grand finals at the MCG since the VFL was formed?

04 - 1 win.
05 - 0 wins from 1.
06 - 0 wins from 1.
08 - 1 win from 3.

2 from 6. 33%.

Your turn.

1966 Grand Final won by St Kilda
1992 Elimination final won by St Kilda
2008 Semi Final won by St Kilda

By my count that is 0/3

But you like making stuff up to support your argument

Myth busted. Fraud outed. Next!

Ah, geez! 13 wins and 8 losses or 62%!

04 - 1 win.
05 - 0 wins from 1.
06 - 0 wins from 1.
08 - 1 win from 3.

2 from 6. 33%.

Young man, if you are going to enter the world of stats, at least make a decent attempt, even if you are making it up. First, you said 'since 04', although including 04 only makes the stats better for the Saints,

Next, the Saints played 6 games at the G for 5 wins in 05, 5 games for 3 wins in 06, 2 from 4 in 07, 2 from 5 in 08 (including the two finals losses), and one from one this year. That is, 13 wins from 21 games.

If you want to make a point about games v Collingwood at the G, then that's another stat. Since 04, it is 2 wins and two losses. We didn't play each other there in 2004.

He did specify games at the 'G in September so he almost got it right.

It's actually 3 out of 7. Soon to be 4 out out of 8.

My apologies, I was distracted by the original thread. Then again, September action for Collingwood at the G since 04 is not good reading either. One win from four games. Unless a team wins the flag, the MCG September ratio is always going to be bad.
