St Essington's Day 2025

I saw @wimmera1 doing some calculations in some random thread which I can’t find now. But he suggested that the day might be coming upon us swiftly, like a thief in the night.

I thought that rather than doing the calculations myself, it would be less work to start this thread, and ask you all: when is the appointed time for 2025?

Corr. Not this week forgot the gold coast game inhand

Nope.
Tomorrow.

Two of Hawthorn, Geelong, Gold Coast and Freo need to win, and that can’t happen today.
If it doesn’t happen tomorrow, then St Essington’s will be if/when we lose on Friday.

Edit: actually…

Good start.

This thread is an annual disappointment, hopefully Wimm has laid out THE ■■■■■■■ RULES enough this year that we can avoid the casual heresy.

Actually if GC and Freo lose, which could happen, then we could still lose to the Bulldogs and mathematically still make it.

It’s going to be a game by game basis.
Otherwise you’re making a flow chart and I can’t be bottomed.

Yep.

It’s called once it’s no longer ‘mathematically’ possible to make it. Realistically we won’t, but that’s not the point.

20th of July would be impressive, though.

Nice how St Essington’s Day is (in reality) no longer an if, but a when.

Fark Carlton played a one-third AFLW team today, lost to Darebin’s 100% VFLW squad, and now can not make finals.

That’s a shame.

the o.g. thread confirms that it fell in july in 2006 and 2016, so to have it this early and with this many premiership points will really be something else

Too early?

Yep. Too early.
GC could lose all of their games by ten goals and we could win all ours by ten goals.
Mathematically.

Friday will be St. Essington’s Day, now.

Clearly a prediction rather than a statement.
