After 14 rounds, the QAFL ladder is tight at the top, but what would happen if each game ended at half time?
We went back through the books to crunch the numbers, and the results are scarily similar.
Of the 70 games played so far in 2016, the leader at half time has only lost nine times, showing the importance of a good start in this competition.
Mt Gravatt would have bridged the gap to top spot, sitting equal with Palm Beach Currumbin.
The only team to slip down the ladder was Surfers Paradise, who would have one less win, dropping outside the top five on percentage.
Sandgate would have had three extra wins on the board, while Wilston Grange would have had two.
UQ would have had to wait until round 13 to record their first win, which would have come over Wilston Grange.
