I'm pretty happy with my list after I slapping together a pre-draft list. Pav, Bannell and Gunston up forward. But not happy with peanut Robinson on the bench along with the suspect Carlisle.

I'm not going to be able to get WatchAFL for a couple weeks. The Suns have Melbourne and St. Kilda to start the season. I'm sure the stream sites will be busting their asses to get those games up due to the demand.  Suns really need to win three of their first four.

(I'd watch streams of the Giro d'Italia for those stages that aren't broadcast here and in the break they'd advertise the footy and it'd be weird.)

Last year I had WatchAFL up before the season began, but the year before that, I watched streams. I remember watching the Port game in round 21 and the GWS game in 23, but I think 22 against St. Kilda there was no stream. Maybe 21 against Melbourne didn't either, because I didn't watch that game, but that may have been before I was a Suns fan.

I won yearly pass to the AFL Live thingy. Anyone have any suggestions on how i could stream it onto my PC/a TV? I don't have a tablet and watching it on my phone is a waste. I've tried one of these android emulators (Bluestacks & Andy) but couldn't get either to work with the app.

Apparently I'm going to my first Crows game outside of Adelaide... if I can figure out how to buy the tickets. Should I be able to buy GA tickets to the game vs Collingwood at Edit: Turns out I can, just the automated system from Ticketmaster turns off between 2 and 5am for reasons unexplained.

Please no, I can't take another two years of this drugs bullshit. Anyway, there is no way an AFL club would be dumb enough to give their players clenbuterol, a very well known PED. Only idiot individuals can make that choice as professional footballers.

Won't remotely take two years, they have an actual positive test this time so it will be done shortly after the B sample comes back positive

Now is a good time to get your tips in for the first round if you haven't done so. http://www.footytips.com.au/comps/SASTips&p=goons I'm going to be an annoying bastard and hype this every day. FIRST GAME IS ON THURSDAY NIGHT, don't get caught out! You can actually change your tip before each game starts but it's a good idea to the whole lot at once. If you're the forgetful type I suggest filling out a few rounds in advance when you do remember, just so you don't have to cop the away teams rule. They just made me agree to some new T&Cs so watch out for that when logging in as well. Now  NUMBERRRRS time.As usual I enjoy throwing shitloads of numbers into the thread. I am loving terrible at fantasy leagues (so many players to keep track of) to the point where I just don't do them, but I enjoy messing around with team ratings. To start with, my seed ratings, derived from last year's H&A results. First column of numbers is the ratings I generally burp out, second column is the absolute rating. 86.6 was the average score in the home and away rounds last season (2013 was 92), so 866 is the par. Hopefully it'll be higher this year, but as a result, the numbers look a bit more anaemic than usual. Usually I'd say 1200 or more puts you in the premiership zone, but this time around, that threshold might be closer to 1100. Hawthorn is about 12 goals better than St Kilda. code: Yeah, it's an Excel table. I usually crunch these out using Python which also makes it easy to spit out all those strange graphs. The method I use is ridiculously simple, though - subtract one team's rating from the other, add a "travel" factor of 2 goals if required, and then adjust each team's rating by how much better or worse they did compared with the prediction. The thing got over 70% last year, usually it gets about 66-67% correct so there must've been something weird about last season. Nevertheless, a savvy tipster will be able to beat it most of the time. I use it as a guide but of course I'll go the other way if I have a good reason to. You know, team ins-and-outs, off-field crap, the sort of thing that is omitted entirely from calculations. For instance, I am tipping Brisbane over Collingwood, and maybe Port over Fremantle. It actually looks like a tight bunch of games, I mean the biggest predicted result is Sydney over Essendon by 6 goals. Which, if you remember what happened to Sydney in their first round last year, is nothing. There's other things I'm going to try and implement this year (like having attack-defense ratings which would help me predict total scores as well as margins), but I need a bit of time to work on those. I'll probably start going crazy with the graphs around Round 4 maybe. The Deadly Hume fucked around with this message at 07:16 on Mar 30, 2015 |

The Deadly Hume posted:NUMBERRRRS YESSSSSS Never stop posting graphs. Just out of curiosity how did your preseason ladder prediction last year look compared to the real thing? I'll be pretty surprised if GWS only beats us by 6 points. I'm hoping for a Saints win, but I wont be surprised if we lose by 20+ points.

Interesting there has been four players caught recently (these two, Crowley and Saad), I wonder if ASADA is scrutinizing the AFL a bit more closely than in the past. It wouldn't surprise me if PEDs were rife at all clubs and Essendon were just the ones dumb enough to get caught.
