Our ABC article today: taking a look at some of the common statistical characteristics of the biggest AFL upsets, and whether early season upsets turn out to be truly unusual or just a harbinger of things to come.
How the Tigers pulled off one of the biggest AFL upsets in recent memory
Naysayers may suggest Richmond's win over Carlton in round one was a fluke, but there was a method to the way the Tigers achieved the upset defeat.

Does commissaire in charge of the #roadnats crits know the rules? It appears not.

The rule is when a peloton is lapped they are only pulled out with 2 laps to go.

Pulling the peloton out early definitely impacted the race, as the 2nd place getter would've been caught.

Entry lists for the #roadnats very slim.

Auscycling chasing the $ in Perth already looks like a total failure even before a single race.
