The Mighty Ninthmond

A question was asked on twitter
“what % of games have the tigers won post rnd 11 in the past 10 years #winwhenitdoesntmatter”
which is a great question since the Mighty Tigers once again have set themselves up for another Ninth place finish.
After a bit of research (from Wikipedia and the great AFL Stats website), I responded with the following tweet sent out...
- Last 11 games: 2011 3wins, 10 5w, 09 3w 1d, 08 8w, 07 3w, 06 5w, 05 3w, 04 0w, 03 1w, 02 3w #winwhenitdoesntmatter
Which really looks like a pile of gibberish, so I produced this table instead.

* 2011 has 1 game to play at time of posting.

Which does show that the wet sail gets deployed every once in a while, ‘when it doesn’t matter’. That said, with developing kids, you can get the squad gelling better with more games into them and teamwork developed.
It also shows that Richmond are less 'Ninthmond' in the last decade than people would know.
