God the Whateley fawning salivation over Jack Riewoldt's retirement is sickening. Started yesterday on SEN, carried over to AFL 360 and continued again this morning.
A good player and a genuine character but FFS he makes it seem as if Jack is the greatest player ever to play the game.
This morning he told his listeners that the 6 y.o. NZ gelding Mr Brightside will be starting his run in Race 9 at Caulfield at the same time as Riewoldt enters the MCG as a player for the last time.
Touching.
How do people listen to this guy.
Most annoying voice, the way he goes on about stuff he thinks he’s hosting the Academy Awards.
FIGJAM.

Gerhard is just a try hard Bruce McAvaney.
Gerhard for Hinkley is the 2023 equivalent of Yes We Ken.

inst the game at marvel?
a win here really wont put the the "lions cant win at the G" narrative to bed
im pretty sure they won at marvel earlier in the year
would still be a descent win against good oppo in Melbourne

Going to have a beer tonight every time a Brisbane player is mentioned in the context of "the MRP will have a look at this".
I'm expecting to be pissed by quarter time.
Excellent. Quick, someone tell them we're playing North at home this weekend...Don't ask the AFL - they can't even get the teams right, let alone the venue...
So, who do we want to win tonight? If Collingwood win, and we win our last two, we finish second. If Brisbane win, regardless of what we do, we likely finish third (they play St Kilda at the Gabba next week, should win that).
We shoould finish ahead of Melbourne who have Hawthorn(H) and Sydney(A).
Just wondering what everyone thinks is the best outcome for us.

I guess we might end up at the Gabba first round of the finals.
Really it doesn’t matter, if we get to the big dance we win everything from here on in.

Collingwood win would be beneficial, though there could be a few factors - Collingwood injuries, Collingwood poor at Marvel, Collingwood cue in the rack? However, Brisbane poor away from home and generally flakey in recent weeks.
Think Brisbane have the edge...slightly.
The Age has done an analysis of the hardest and toughest draws from 2 perspectives:
1. pre season expectations
2. how the season eventually panned out
Their assessment that Port had an easier season as things panned out (moving to 6th hardest form their pre-ranking of 4th hardest) is surprising. But not as surprising as the their assessment that the Crows had the 2nd toughest H/A draw, having originally assessed their draw as the 12th hardest before the season started.
The simple methodology they used is probably the reason for this. They analysed the full fixture using a simple formula of accumulative wins and draws to rate the depth of competition each team has faced through 22 rounds, and how this translates through the full 24 rounds. It takes no account of travel etc.
The Crows get the rating of the second hardest season mostly because they played us, Collingwood, Brisbane and GWS twice.

Winners and losers: Who really has had the toughest AFL fixture this season?
Forget the pre-season projections. Did your team have the most challenging fixture, or enjoyed an easier ride? We have crunched the numbers for you.

blisteringly stupid analysis from the age but not surprising.
playing carlton say.. now, is a markedly different proposition to playing them 3 months ago.
playing adelaide in adelaide is hard, playing them somewhere else is easy.
there's ways to actually analyse this properly but it requires more than the absolute minimum amount of effort and takes longer than 5 minutes.

Ashcroft is a massive loss for Brisbane.
Think people are kidding themselves Collingwood are getting rolled tonight.

Somehow the Saints aren't showing up next week against Brisbane?

The Saints are pus.
Adelaide having lost 7 more games than Collingwood probably has an impact on their oppositions winning 3 more...The Age has done an analysis of the hardest and toughest draws from 2 perspectives:

The average Eagle supporter I run across in Perth is not so upset about the losing it’s the size of the losses.
Wouldn’t be as bad if they had more 5 goal losses not this 100 point slaughter.
I think last week going down by over a 100 to the team they all laugh about over here really hurt.

As much as I should want Brisbane to lose tonight it only took one Collingwood fellatio from the scared weird little guys in the commentary team to change my mind.
GO BRISBANE.
