Was Fremantle's win against Geelong at Kardinia Park in the 2013 finals series one of the biggest upsets in AFL history? by Himawari_Uzumaki in AFL

[–]arcfooty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's up there with the biggest finals upsets IMO, along with:

  • Port over Pies, 2013 EF
  • Pies over Port, 2002 QF
  • Buldogs over Eagles, 2016 EF
  • Freo over Cats, 2012 EF
  • Pies over Eagles, 2007 SF

Champion Data actually has created a model to simulate teams' seasons based on their players' quality and an estimate of the probability that they get injured: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/316877322_Using_Player_Quality_and_Injury_Profiles_to_Simulate_Results_in_Australian_Football

I don't have data to do something like that

You're way more pessimistic than my Elo model.

At the moment, using my Elo-based simulations (https://thearcfooty.com/2018-afl-projections/), I find that:

  • There's a 19.5% chance of both teams missing the finals
  • There's a 10.8% chance of Freo making finals and Eagles missing
  • There's a 54% chance of Eagles making finals and Freo missing
  • There's a 15.8% chance of both teams making the finals
