Round 18 results
(I started this post on Thursday, but was so busy last week I had to post it late and back-date it. Shit happens.)
I’ll recap the weekend of footy now, I’m not suffering from the delirium of sleep deprivation this time (like I was last post), so there will be less references to masturbation and vampires, and more honest to god sport.
It was a damn fine weekend of football, with no less than three teams winning by four points or less, including the undefeated Saint Kilda who managed to scrape in a one point win against Sydney in the final 20 seconds of the match.
Yes it was a great session of games for a casual viewer, but not so much as a Crows supporter. A few of the teams we needed to win did not produce the goods, and let’s not forget the Crows own agonizing two point defeat to Geelong. Here are the results, and how they affected my grading system for the round (Good = 8/10, Better = 9/10, Best = 10/10. Anything else scores 0/10):
Working out these grades revealed some flaws in my system, the obvious one being the score lines (less than two goals gets a grade, as does five or more – but what of the scores in between?). So I have made changes to this system for round 19.
By the way, I have decided to name this collating of data the SHODDY GRADING SYSTEM or the SHOGRA SYSTEM, for short. It’s a catchy name, even though SHOGRA sounds like a giant autistic slug that attacks Tokyo on odd occasions. Actually, the Shogra System sounds like the section of the universe that Luke and Yoda go to pick up whores. Either way, fuck it – the name stays.
ROUND 19
Carlton vs Geelong (Geelong are too secure in points to affect us, but Carlton can still pose a threat to a top four finish for the Crows):
Carlton win by under 10 points = 7
Geelong win by under 10 points = 8
Geelong win by 11 – 20 points = 9
Geelong win by over 20 points = 10
Western Bulldogs vs West Coast Eagles (Bulldogs are third, so better for us if they lose by a lot)
WB win by under 10 points = 7
WCE win by under 10 points = 8
WCE win by 11 – 20 points = 9
WCE win by over 20 points = 10
Essendon vs Brisbane (Brisbane are uncomfortably close to us on the ladder, need them to lose and decrease their percentage. Essendon are three wins behind us, so are less of a threat)
Brisbane win by under 10 points = 7
Essendon win by under 10 points = 8
Essendon win by 11 – 20 points = 9
Essendon win by over 20 points = 10
Adelaide vs Collingwood (another change to my scoring system, the results of the Crows game will be rated out of 20, so that it has a greater affect on the overall grading of the weekend. Collingwood are in the fourth spot and one win ahead of us - a loss would put them clear on the ladder by 8 points, so any win for Collingwood ranks a zero in my system):
Adelaide win by under 10 points = 16
Adelaide win by 11 – 20 points = 18
Adelaide win by over 20 points = 20
Freemantle vs Port Adelaide
Port win by under 10 points = 7
Freemantle win by under 10 points = 8
Freemantle win by 11 – 20 points = 9
Freemantle win by over 20 points = 10
The other games for the weekend are:
Hawthorn vs Saint Kilda
North Melbourne vs Melbourne
And
Richmond vs Sydney
The outcomes of these matches have no affect on the Crows final four chances, so are not included in the grading system for the round. These matches could be played on mine fields, using a Beach Ball full of wasps, while Pirates rape stray dogs in the change rooms – it truly doesn’t matter.
So does everybody understand the Shogra System?
Does anybody understand?
If you do understand, please send me an email and explain it because I’ll be honest with you I’m fucking confused.
This shit is doing my head in, I’m going to take a break and go watch Flight of the Concords.

Carlton (94) beat North Melbourne (84) by fuck all = Good (8/10)The final grade for Round 18 is 26/60, which is 43 percent. That’s a mediocre result for the round, and the ladder shows it with the two teams above us winning and growing more comfortable in their positions, and the two teams below us losing and floundering in their spots. This left the Crows stuck in the middle growing stale in fifth place.
Western Bulldogs (111) beat Freemantle (80) = (0/10)
Geelong (93) beat Adelaide (91) by fuck all = Good (8/10)
Collingwood (95) beat Brisbane (55) = (0/10)
Port (121) beat Hawthorn (55) = (0/10)
West Coast Eagles (95) beat Essendon (68) by shitloads = Best (10/10)
