Saints leading a new list ( not sure we want to )

A WEEK after shocking Hawthorn, the Tigers looked awful in a Friday night loss to Adelaide.

So in a press conference early this week, captain Trent Cotchin was asked if that inconsistency was simply ‘trademark Richmond’.

“I don’t even knows what ‘typical Richmond’ means. We know what’s expected of us, and we didn’t provide it (against the Crows last Friday night),” Cotchin said.

“You look at our eight to 10 weeks prior to that, I thought we were pretty steady.”

Footy fans, you may find this hard to believe, but Cotchin is right. Richmond has been the most consistent team in the AFL in 2015, at least according to the ‘crap gap’.


What is the crap gap? It’s a measure comparing the difference between a club’s best and worst footy.

A ‘game’ crap gap explains the difference between their best and worst performance for the season. A ‘season’ crap gap measures the difference between their average win and their average loss across the season.

Garbage statistic me thinks. Totally meaningless. A reflection of the times I guess. The issues which are existential to AFL are to complex to contemplate or are no go zones for footy journalists. So they come up with this kind of crap to keep the masses amused/perplexed.........I despair for the future of footy.

gee that massacre of essendon was a mistake - led to a massive 'crap gap'!
which suggests the 'crap gap' as a statistic, is rather...crap?

Absolutely! I know AFL journos are functionally illiterate but this one is especially bad.

Crap gap is the space between 'journo's' ears

Surely they could have come up with something a little nicer than "crap" gap? Think of the kids for which that would be a swear word.

I just hope Freo win this week so the Hawks Cani finish top 2.

Sometimes crap games are due to tanking.

Havent noticed to much tanking this year. Better for Freo to win. Cant believe people think it is better for them to lose if they want to win the GF.

That is logical, but in the world of Ro$$y things are often different!

Why? Has RL said he wants to lose?
