IMO CLG were a 10 goal better side and really should've won, but GF's are strange beasts.

CLG finished on top with 4% more percentage. Significant when you consider they were on 62% and the next best was 58%, followed by WOS on 53% - thats 10% between the two sides. They also beat you by 6 goals in the second semi. They beat Rosewater 30 goals to 7 in the final round!!!
Anecdotally, MP beat WOS at home in the leadup to the finals, we got pummeled by CLG both times.
They were significantly a better side - looking at form and data. But as we know, the best sides dont always win GF's.

morell wrote:Absolutely agree. Stats are an indicator and tell half the story, they show patterns and trends. What applies to the group does not apply to the individual. All that jazz.
Hence why I included the anecdotal stuff...
We can talk pleasantries all we like, we can blow smoke up each other, we can say how good we all are how wonderful everything is. Facts are, CLG were raging red hot favourites and rightly so ... but they didn't win.
This has occurred not infrequently with CLG over the years.
anddddddddddd...
We're back to square one.
They kicked inaccurately, on a normal day those 6 goals should've been 10.

For **** sake Wayne pull your head in. I really couldn't care less who you are friends with nor do I appreciate being spoken to like that. You severely overestimate yourself and the influence you think you have on me.
The thread is about "Biggest Finals Upsets". I have discussed some of the biggest finals upsets I am aware of, the reasons for them, and about specifics related to them. I have replied to posters looking to engage and generally, despite many personal attacks, responded with candour and politeness. That is being on topic.
Sure, a lot of my posts happen to be about one club, but I've also raised ourselves and others. I can't help that CLG have been involved in a lot of finals upsets. It's history and football fact. I really haven't said anything untoward that others haven't said, or worse. It's ok to label Harvey a sooky-la-la, an underminer, a primdaonna, but I cant say I think a coach has underachieved or has the perception of being over controlling? Because he happens to have a gaggle of friends on sa footy? Puuhleaasee!
The fact that one individual who happens to be involved and is also prominent on sa footy doesn't and shouldn't change how one posts about it. You can all circle jerk eachother as much as you like, doesn't mean I have to eat the biscuit.
The truth hurts, perhaps.
But I give up. Clearly this forum is more interested in waxing lyrical about how good everyone is rather than actually analysing the game of football.

Yeah no dramas at all, or at least there shouldn't be. For the most part it was a really good footy chat. Until a certain section of people got all butt hurt. I am fascinated with their pattern of results - people confused that with obsession.Q. wrote:And most of us just disagree with your assessment of CLG under achieving.
I was once fascinated with Central United discipline record - people confused that with obsession. I was once fascinated with Angle Vale and their operations - people confused that with obsession. I am fascinated with Ingle Farm and Mitchell Parks history - people confused that with obsession. I was once fascinated with Smithfield and their discipline - people confused that with obsession. I was once fascinated with Henley and their ideas - people confused that with obsession.scottroo wrote:More to do with your obsession with colonel light, why not have a crack at north haven? Who have a pretty bad finals record too!
No, as I said to HH3 and Q above, I don’t know enough about 2014 CLG in D5, I apologise if I have inferred that you choked this year, I don’t know if that’s reality. I would say WOS beating you was an upset though?scottroo wrote:In the div 6 thread you have congratulated ingle farm for coming up a division and finishing third...Clg do the same and we are chokers?
