Message: [QUOTE="Kimlo, post: 2315533, member: 2021"] [b]Re: The last 8 matches[/b] With Melbourne scenario it's actually a top 9 now because if they were accruing points the team at 8 would actually be at 9(because technically Melbourne are 3rd now). So 28 is a virtually a certainty to make the finals as it is basically a "top 9". Since 06 9th spot has never exceed 28 points and in 07 28 points was 5th on ladder. With teams 4-9 all technically being pushed up a spot to 3-8(so long as Melbourne keep winning most of their games this will remain true) this is an idea of how it might go. This is how many points would have made top 4/8 in previous years with the whole Melbourne scenario above. 2006 - 9th position = 26 | top 4 = 32 (teams 3-6 only p/d separating) 2007 - 9th position = 24 | top 4 = 28(29 points actual top 4) 2008 - 9th position = 28 | top 4 = 33(34 "") 2009 - 9th position = 28 | top 4 = 32(33 "") 2010 - 9th position = ??? | top 4 = ??? 32 is a safe bet for top 4 so to make top 4 we would need to win 6 out of our last 8 games and the P/D will take care of itself. Thought some people would like to see this stuff, for the statistic/history lovers :P [/QUOTE]
