Discussion 2024 Round 9: Teams & In Game Discussion

[Russty_]

Disappointed in myself, had serong VC up until about 5mins before the bounce then switched to Grundy. Going to cost me a lot of points potentially.

At least you didn't pick Ryan

If you are picking a playing fixture with 8 teams playing each other, there are more than 28 ways any individual Round can structure up.
28 would be the number of picking 2 teams at random to play each other.
Start with team 1. They have 7 potential opponents. That leaves 6 teams. Pick any of the 6 at random, and they have 5 potential opponents.
That leaves 4 teams.
These 4 teams can only make 3 structures:
A v B, C v D
A v C, B v D
A v D, B v C
7 x 5 x 3 = 105 ways to structure the Round.
Number of ways 1 to 4 can structure to play 5 to 8.
Team 1 can have 4 opponents.
Team 2 can have 3
Team 3 can have 2
Leaving Team 4 with 1.
4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 24.

24/105 = 22.9%

Happy to have myself corrected, if I've got this wrong.

I agree with your maths.

Start with team 1, they can play any of 5-8, ie 4 out of 7 teams. Let’s assume they play 5, just to put a name on it.

Proceed to team 2, they can play any of 6-8, ie 3 out of 5 remaining teams. Let’s assume they play 6.

Proceed to team 3, they can play either of 7 or 8, ie 2 out of 3 remaining teams. Let’s assume they play 7.

4 then has to play 8.

4/7 x 3/5 x 2/3 (x1/1) = 24/105 = 22.86%

Sydney are so accurate he doesn't even have any kick-ins

Reflected in his SC 30 at half time 😫

Rough penalties on Houston for that 20 seconds of play. Blicavs didn't even collect the handball as he slipped over.

Did Houston take the ball out of bounds before he kicked that or was it smothered? I thought it was the former and so did the commentators. Lost 7 points from it though which suggests it was smothered

Edit: Just watched it again. Definitely took it out himself. Hopefully CD take the clanger off him.

Butters 🔥😎

Just wish I had the VC on him lol

 

[Zoku Pops]

Sydney 10.0 really hurting Ryan. What a fickle game.

AHH what happened to grundy's eye!

Happened last week pretty sure. Remember seeing him sporting a black eye. Didn’t affect him too badly.

 

[Maccas marvels]

It appears keeping Roberts was the wrong call….

 

[Peter56]

 

[HimothyTaranto]

Not having Heeney is just pure pain at this point.

Still so many points to give out this game. Will get close to his BE once again and be unaffordable until his bye.

Pain.

 

[7/11]

Come on Grundy. Get past Gawn’s 111 and we can be friends.

Ryan starting to junk it up
