Still a stat that means something. I think it's basically saying .... sides that go on to win flags are playing a really good brand off footy in the lead up to the finals. It still concerns me that we looked so very ordinary today. BUT ... I hope this stat means nothing when we beat Bulldogs soundly in 2 weeks.

Or in the last 10 years not many sides have had top spot sewn up and have had nothing to play for....Newman wrote:Still a stat that means something.

Re: Stat on bigfooty - You better read this, yeah.
The problem with using stats is that they are open to interpretation. It depends on how you use them and what information you used. For example, did you take into account that we won the first 19 games? Did the other teams win 19 games straight? Were these other teams minor premiers? As your add or require more detailed information from the stats, results tend to change.ralphsmith wrote:NO team in last 10 years has won the flag having lost 2 or more of the last 4 season games.
That's strange isn't it.
Pant crappingly strange.

When I was a young child, I knew that I knew so much about so much.
Now that I am old and know so much more, I know that I know so much about so little, and so little about so much.

Unlike so many I was actually at the game and none of those statistics played any part.
The only statistics that played any part are:
1. The team that kicks more inaccurately for goal is more likely to lose.
2. Weather effects results - teams that depend on marking forwards for a significant amount of their goals are more likely to lose in wet and windy conditions than in the dry.

Essendon in 1897 and 1924
so I should have said when there has been a grand final then .............................
