Changes for Round 21 the #1 Draft Pick Cup v the Kanga Kanga Kanga Roo Roo Roos

Only 4% that is like 200+ points. No chance we make up the % on West Coast even if we beat North. I do think the Eagles will beat GC at Optus this weekend.
I can see all of the tiges, north and eagles winning at least one more game. Well, North could win 2 by beating us and Eagles.

We lost to Pies and gained 0.3% North lost by 40 pts to Cats and gained 0.5%

Very hard to even make up 2% at this time.
Nowhere near 200 points because the percentages are low a win increases it quite alot. So currently Tigers are 1243 for & 1950 against for a percentage of 63.74. Let's assume a win of 50 points, say 100 to 50 makes it 1343 for & 2000 against for a percentage of 67.15. There's 3.4% right there on a 50 point change. West Coast percentage could easily drop below ours. I am just pointing out if Tigers beat North & North beat West Coast there is a realistic chance West Coast percentage can come into play by the last game.
 
Not quite. According to the ladder predictor if we win by 60pts we go above the WEagles- making up the 4%.

Lol we aint beating North by 60. I was being realistic across the last 4 games and as such no chance to make up the 4%
Also, just adding on that the Eagles could well beat GC at OS

I hear where you are coming I didn't look into it too deeply just generalizing but you need to also take into account tigers getting beaten quite comfortably by saints and hawks.
I am pretty confident that % won't be made up even if we win tomorrow. I think the game will be very close 6-12 points either way.

Doesn't have to be 60 difference over 1 game but the 4 games. Let's say we win by 10 points 90 points to 80, our percentage comes up to 65.67%. West Coast lose to Suns by a customary 40 points 40 to 80 their percentage is now 67.38%. There's now only 1.71% to play out over last 3 games. May come down to who loses them by more. 4% is nothing as the percentages are already extremely low so percentage moves much more.
 
this should be North's biggest win for the year.
Can't wait for the media to jump on North's bandwagon and praise them for building a strong list and how Clarko will guide them into finals in 2025

You need to be realistic and not paint a scenario to suit your narrative. GC ain't beating the Eagles by 40 points at OS.

Like I said all things being equal and how the games are playing out 4% is hard to make up by teams at the bottom of the ladder at this time of season.

Anyways mate we can go back and forth on this, let's let it play out and see what happens.

They’ve been pumping up North’s tires all year.

20 points 40 points doesn't matter (don't know why 40 points isn't realistic though), the point is over 4 games WC could easily end up with a lower percentage. You said realistically there's no chance of making up the 4%. Of course there is. If Tigers win 1 more game and WC don't then in the 3 other games WC need to lose them combined by maybe 60 more points maximum than the Tigers or thereabouts. Probably won't happen but far from unrealistic or no chance of it happening.

Personally I don't see Tigers or WC winning another game.
 
How many VFL games do you have to play - to be eligible for Finals selection (if we make it)?

I'd like to monitor this as we approach (and hence perhaps have a better understanding of strategic selections / omissions)
A player mustn’t have played more than 12AFL games and must have played at least 6 VFL games

Is this our first Saturday arvo game for the year?
It looks like it is. Maybe they’ll give us one against the GC at the end of the season. Sunday specialists, though. We really should kick up an almighty fuss about this, but we won’t.

It's North's domain, they get 9 Saturday games starting between 1:45pm & 2:30pm including 6 in 7 weeks between Rd 15 & Rd 22

The only reason I feel a bit apprehensive about Saturdays game is that it is at Marvel and we haven't gone well there for quite a whilst the Roos play there so often then know the ground. I am still hoping for a win and will be disappointed if we lose to the Roos as, in theory, we have a better team out than them on Saturday

Im glad we dont have to worry bout this now. 2 games clear and 6.3% the Eagles over us.

As I said in one of my above posts> I do think the Eagles will beat GC at Optus this weekend.

So we now know that we will finish either 18th or 17th.
