DV8 curious! It is cheating when one cheats. Lance Armstrong was cheating before he got caught, getting caught simply proved it. I follow cricket and I was disgusted with sandpaper gate. Lost your bet, I answered. Sorry about not throwing shyte earlier, I had work.

What a load of cows excrement, you have a serious chip on that shoulder of yours DV8. It is the 21st century and thugs are no longer tolerated. Get used to it. I love tough footy but cheating is cheating and whether it be drugs or illegal tactics it has no place in today's sport.

Everytime I look it has more faces. Starting to remind me of Sgt Peppers. Did I see Elvis?

I might watch it, but I also look at car crashes and natural disasters, maybe that's just me, I do hope none of our players play.

They are South Australians, what do you expect?

Hang on I think I can work this out. Molly fell off a ladder, Superman could not handle Cryptonite, Molly loves StKilda Superman loves Lois Lane - got it, 96

I'm sorry Watson but if you gave me 2 stats for any game I could tell you the result with 100% accuracy. The score for each team. And surely if the stats are good they should be able to predict injuries, modified game plans and improvements in players. Extrapolating what you are saying it is only a matter of enough data. Lies, damn lies and statistics!

OK so why are they so bad at predictions?

So for each algorithm they (people) select the hyperparameter values with the best cross validated score. And if that is not ideal they (people) fine tune for the next test. If data doesn't lie then surely interpretation can. Edit:- Who enters the data? Was it an effective kick/handpass or not? Tap to advantage or not, who decides?

Seriously! What is worth more a goal or a mark a hit out or a hand pass? Someone at CD has made that decision, they have weighted all manner of stats based on assumptions. If it was based on pure data you may see something resembling the ladder, hey that's a good idea. Rate teams based on results.

Why, did you wake up Biff?

The problem with weighting is it can be opinion. Are handballs worth more than effective hitouts? Is an effective 50 metre kick across ground worth more than a 20 metre kick into the forward line? Is a mark in the defensive 50 in junk time worth as much as a mark on the wing? And so it goes.

Why? If you don't like it don't read it and don't post in it. Simple.

Too easy!

Catherine Hawn or Jeanne Biegger?

Now what was it Trent Croad did?

Red that would be a different joke and one regularly used by a late friend Master Evans.

Kent is a county not a country. reminds me of an old joke. What do you call the ruler of a principality - Prince What do you call the ruler of a kingdom - King What do you call the ruler of a country - ScoMo

Someone - a Melbourne listed player (probably Weideman) They - Weideman or other Melbourne listed players like Preuss or Frost, Smith Few - more than one. I expect whoever takes Hogan's place will kick at least 1-2 goals per match. (Hogan 2.1) My point being that we are not 50 goals a season worse off and we will defend better. I expect our percentage to be better next season.

Lost 50 goal plus! Hogan has not kicked 50plus in a season. I imagine someone will replace Hogan and they should kick a few. So it is wrong to say we lost 50 goals.

Missing friends in Melbourne. Freo have said he is able to be in Melbourne midweek on compassionate grounds. Had a coffee & a dart with Goodwin, discussed coming home to Melbourne if a deal could be worked out

I would like to suggest that those asking for a thread to be closed be banned for 1 month. If the thread is going after the month ban them for life. There are too many killjoys in life, don't come here if you don't like it. It is not compulsory.

Is that near Cairo? BINGO!

There's a gist? Demented ramblings perhaps, but a gist!

Didn't know you plucked your eyebrows Colin!
