At the risk of a voodoo doll coming my way I thought I would 'out' our hitherto esteemed training reporter now operating under the pseudonym

I have no idea what you’re talking about, Lucifer’s Hero. You must be thinking of someone else, someone slightly deranged perhaps.

Ah, but you know I have a very good 'spidey sense' and Sherlock Holmes type detection traits ... Nope I am not mistaken!

LOL!  It was the 'Interests' on your profile that confirmed my suspicion 🙃

 

At least you didn't post a voodoo doll with 'Luci' photo shopped onto it.🙃

Fair points, but just on the relationship between Trac and his fans - I’m not saying I was personally effected by it

Moreso that his lack of attempts to display anything other than a cursory commitment to the club this year suggests that positive fan sentiment was not a priority for him, and some of the reporting that came out around his intentions of why he wanted to leave also suggests this 

Just like we can’t control whether he goes, we also can’t control if he stays, and I don’t think a few stray comments on a forum will be the difference for him, so let’s not get too caught up in it 🤷‍♂️

Like you have. My opinion.

Guess DH would be a bit peeved if I got my nephew (a Bulldog) to stop by training next Friday when he's driving us home from the airport.  Been a long time since I've been to training.

 

Oo!  I see a Ghostwriter has entered the conversation!  Excellent.

Observations: what i see

Confirmation bias:  creating meaning from observations to fit my belief system or narrative.

Unless you ask him, anything beyond the observation is useless.

All of this Trac is unhappy/brand focused etc inference is without any basis.  

Are you suggesting that after observing a behaviour anything that follows is useless?

That's ridiculous.

I can read behaviour as well or poorly as the next person. Trac did not look happy much of the time (in Mansfield) He trained hard and well (another observation).

Speculation as to why is another thing. I have no idea why. 

I made an observation and reported it, I was not alone. He did smile with the kids. 

I believe you are just as guilty of confirmation bias as anyone else,  lighten up.

Perfect.  Your Observations were insightful, and no BS speculations.

not getting heavy, just sick of massive diversions from the great posts of trackwatchers  into narratives that are presented as facts, not even speculation.

I’m all good, and happy to to lighten up.

You can’t be guilty or not guilty of confirmation bias anymore than you can be guilty of falling for an optical illusion. It’s hard-wired into our brain, like all cognitive biases, and impacts all of us. Part of our evolution on the plains of Africa, designed to keep us safe by making us risk-averse.
 

Not so much on social media, and no, there couldn’t be sabre tooth tigers hiding in the grass at Gotch’s paddock.

Really?

Few people are not guilty of confirmation bias in some areas.

We search for stories that support our beliefs and rail against those that do not.

We form first impressions of people (sometimes wrong).

I have an opinion of you and no doubt you of me, when I read your posts I will have a preconceived idea of what you are saying. We could both be wrong, are we not guilty of confirmation bias?

Funnily I did a google search asking can you be guilty of confirmation bias, it replied yes. I stopped there because it supported my case. 

I think the Dees will be great next season, you and I no doubt would agree. So all is not lost.

And I could be wrong 🙂

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
