Pedantic! You said "Across the last 20 seasons the 8 does not alter after round 9" 2017 You are wrong 2016 Correct 2015 You are wrong 2014 You are wrong 2013 You are wrong Statistically you have ignored the facts. I have not bothered to go any further, I am not that pedantic. Edit:- OK I am pedantic. 2012 You are also wrong . Sorry about the bold, it won't go away. Edit 2 :- The 2012 to 2017 period there have been 48 final spots, of those over 25% of those in the 8 after round 9 do not reach the final 8. So as a rough guide it is an indicator. And it is obviously better to be in the 8. But as industry funds tell us, past results do not guarantee future results.

Last year round 9 Sydney were 12th - Western Bulldogs 8th - Sydney finished 6th Dogs 10th Or round 10 - Sydney 15th Dogs 4th Edit: Diamond Jim had pointed out anomalies before me. I hadn't read his fine effort.

Maybe we should start another thread in the footy forum.

Sorry Wise but it was, "an plonker".

Barney, I understand that you don't like Whateley, which AFL commentators/journalists do you like?

Bayshaw! Please fix the thread title. My head hurts.

Out of interest how does Casey compare in size and Gosch's paddock?

dworship I think in your case they may have used telling the truth as a defence. I have been vilified in this place and it is hard to talk about it but for the benefit of society at large here goes. I was called a, "schoolteacher type" I am surprised that that was not auto-censored. Prepare for my legal team, you know who you are.

It reminds the sadist in me of Scully & Trengove before Dustin Martin. Sorry

The focus should be on the commentators calling an umpire a liar. Edit:- Is this the only action on a football field caught by only one camera? Spare me, behind the goals vision would show it but nothing! Perhaps it doesn't suit the media beat up to show the facts. Edit2:- Come on media show the vision of no contact to the throat.

That is a when did you stop beating your wife question? I do not think he over handballs. He sometime gets it wrong, he misses targets but look where he gets the ball, the fact that he gets the ball away at all at times is a miracle. I would like to see more kicking but he probably will when Viney gets back.

6. Oliver 5. Brayshaw 4. Hogan 3. Gawn 2. Jones 1.O Mac

Frame by frame you can see Carlisle's hand momentarily at Hogans throat. The umpire was talking to Carlisle and about 10 metres away looking at them. The umpire did not guess he saw it. Free to Hogan no problem. Commentators like Watson besmirch the reputation of umpires and the victim when they make a call like this when they have not seen the incident. Hogan may or may not have over reacted, he was looking at the umpire as he was going down. But the throat contact happened.

Chook that is reediculous, I have my virgin with tonic

Never had a deliance

I think he could lie in any position, after all he is a politician.

Hey pink i, you should ring Bomber up and ask for a refund. Edit:- I went over the top 1st time - sorry

GPS I would guess.

An impenetrable backline has never and will never exist.

Alex is an outstanding athlete as well but the decision-making under duress when you're tired, (he) comes a little bit undone."You've got to take the good with the bad (with Rance)." Damian Hardwick or

My son was coached by Brendan McCarthy and I was disappointed that my son had had a few goals kicked on him. He said forwards will kick goals that's what they do, if not one another will pop up, it is the nature of the game. He was not worried that the forward had kicked a few goals at all, provided that they did not come from repeated silly mistakes. I think Oscar ticks all the boxes, I think he plays as asked and does his best. Sometimes he makes a mistake, who doesn't? Gawn makes mistakes, Hogan makes mistakes, Dangerfield makes heaps of them, they just look worse in front of the opposition goals. I think Oscar is on the way to becoming an AA defender.

They may be homophones but they do not mean the same thing. However if the urban dictionary is your source, what more can I say.

I did an interesting comparison of Jack Watts this year with Jack Watts at Fritch's age.
