afl really dicked us down with the draw we got to start the season, ruined us mentally the cunts


kocknocker19

Likely by design.


RidsBabs

The guy is in Canada, and has no reason to. He is given a list of matches that must happen (Derbies, North Good Friday, Richmond Blues start, etc) and their dates. He does several fixtures for several comps (AFL, soccer, NBA, NFL, etc). He uses a computer program, plugs in the must happen matches and some other parameters (e.g 1 game on a Thursday or Friday, 2 games at x arena per week). Then the computer does its work. It does create oddities like our 2016 season, first 10 games we played 3 top 8 sides and were 9-1 and this season we got shafted with 5 contenders or near contenders.


trevorbix

Have you got a link to that, I have always wondered


RidsBabs

There was a 30 minute video published by the AFL a few months back about it


GDWa1rus

It's not random though, how does it determine that Carlton and Collingwood get to play all the Thursday or Friday games?


lamensterms

I'm just guessing and not trying to be a smart-arse. But it's probably designed with a parameter that those clubs get more prime-time games like that I'm always fascinated by the same 2 or 3 teams getting the Thursday and Friday night games, absolutely not random


Eggy_Wets

People thinking we’re a chance against hawthorn are kidding themselves. They will smash us if we serve up the same shit we’ve served up so far this season


lamensterms

Yeah this isn't uncommon. Every year we're disappointed by our performances against strong sides, then optimistic against weaker sides. I think we're in for a serious reality check this weekend


Rare_Platform_3602

Did you see the stats of their midfielders? Their supporters will be thinking the complete opposite to this.


Eggy_Wets

Their midfield got beaten by Witts, Rowell, Miller and Anderson. Ours got beaten by Stanley, Parfitt, Bruhn and Atkins. Pretty big difference


Rare_Platform_3602

Time will tell I guess.


VileCastle

On the top 10 of today's match in Fantasy points. North had 7/10 players. Just sadly couldn't utilise those stats to convert on the board. For the bottom 10 you just had 4 players and one of them was an injured player. The list is there but the direction and management. I know Clarke is a massive and probably the most successful coach in recent years but Kangas just need the whole of the board to properly utilise them. Just thought to share


Efficient_Address_60

Yeh and if you played SuperCoach not fantasy you’d see the cats had 7/11 top scorers. They factor in efficiency.


VileCastle

..Yes that's one if the reasons why I mentioned Roos that it was a shame they couldn't convert


forphucksake

stats don’t equal wins


VileCastle

Yeah I realise that mate, that's why I wrote the other half


Turbulent_Animator42

Look, was it a shit performance? Yes but are we really surprised that we got rolled by 75 points against an undefeated team at their fortress that are pushing for the Grand Final? I was expecting 100+ points honestly.


Spiritual-Bug4130

No im not . But i am suprised we got belted by the second worse team in the comp

Cope


kocknocker19

Just think: Luke McDonald is a mult-millionaire, and the club wants you to give money to them so he can get paid for his "efforts"


pjsammie

Yeah the scape goating McDonald doesn't work today Not even close 2 the worst


kocknocker19

No but he makes the same mistakes he has been making for 10 years and as captain too, he is open to more scrutiny, as is Jy. Two of our worst captains ever.


Orleanist

the only chance we had was that freo game but we norfed it so


No-Wasabi-1304

Yeah I've turned it off too. No effort whatsoever.


BattyMcKickinPunch

We are a pathetic club


Maievofblades

Just need 10 more priority picks bro bro bro it's okay we tank games for picks bro


Kingofpoosandwees
