"Unbelievable!" -- Nick Davis leaves his mark on the 2005 semi final
It's fun running simulations ...
100,000 simulated seasons gives interesting results. Here are the teams ranked by the percentage chance the simulation gave for each team to make the finals. It gives a plausible final ladder.
According to the simulation, the only team with no real chance of making the finals is Brisbane. All other teams have some chance, even Hawthorn. Sydney ends up in eighth.Code:ADELAIDE 99.821% GWS GIANTS 98.872% GEELONG 94.794% PORT ADELAIDE 94.144% RICHMOND 90.300% MELBOURNE 89.014% ESSENDON 63.975% SYDNEY SWANS 50.426% Western Bulldogs 45.435% West Coast Eagles 31.957% Collingwood 13.696% St Kilda 12.328% North Melbourne 4.789% Gold Coast 4.421% Fremantle 3.807% Carlton 2.077% Hawthorn 0.144% Brisbane Lions 0.000%
The simulation isn't perfect, of course, far from it. It gives little consideration to the Giants' lengthy injury list and has other flaws as well. Still, it is much better than running the ladder simulator manually on the AFL website.
"Unbelievable!" -- Nick Davis leaves his mark on the 2005 semi final
It's very hard to live in a studio apartment in San Jose with a man who's learning to play violin. That's what she told the police when she handed them the empty revolver.

Every now and then, barry, you write something that makes me think beneath this crusty exterior beats the heart of a Swans fan. It's good to see!

No way will the Giants be forced to host us at the SCG. That just wouldn't be right. Surely it would be at ANZ? Is ANZ unavailable for some reason?
ANZ hasnt been rectangularised yet so in theory could host a final but I suspect spotless would still be the venue.
Oh, and what was the reason that the AFL gave for shifting our home final to ANZ? Was it that the SCG wouldn't be able to hold the bumper crowd? Surely that would apply to Spotless, given that it's half the size of the SCG?
