  1. Another fun fact: Do supporters remember Glenn Luff's (from Champion Data) hot plot in 2015 and 2016 ? It was a graph that showed a team was in the premiership window if their average scoring was 100 points > and their defence averaged 86 points <. There is only one team to round 16, 2018 who is in the hot plot sweet spot. Any guesses ? The Dees are the only team in the premiership window based on this once used metric. Btw, I know it's no longer relevant. Footy changes quickly and scoring has dried up over the last couple of years. Nonetheless, i thought it interesting when I checked lat night.
  2. Please yourself mate. Worry your little heart until it's content.
  3. You obviously haven't listened to a recent Melbourne podcast. If there's one player not going anywhere it's Brayshaw. He hasn't strung enough games together on the back of concussion issues to be offered a big contract by another club and he loves the Dees club and his teammates. He also comes from a great family with loads of character. He's the last player you should be worried about leaving.
  4. A great 50th game. How lucky are we to have this 20 year old player ? It would be interesting to know how his stats rank after 50 games compared to many of the game's best.
  5. You didn't know. It's OK.
  6. Clearly you didn't know. It's OK. At least it gave you opportunity to share an opinion that none of us knew.
  7. You needed to see this list today to know the extent of our injuries ? Wow

    Great. Another player I won't have to worry about next time we play Hawthorn. Looking forward to Roughead and Burgoyne joining him.

    Stick to soccer, pommy.

    28 disposals and six score involvements to 3/4 time. Having another cracking game is Gaff.

    Thank you. I feel better now.

    I'm of the view that you talk to as many people as you can and then disseminate the information. Know that there may be biases in play and form conclusions accordingly. If you ask enough of the right questions you can usually get an accurate guide.

    From her article. Balme, Walsh and the bloke who conducted the internal Collingwood investigation were supposedly not interviewed. That doesn't sound like proper due diligence to me. How do you know it was done ? Why are you so defensive ? Do you know all the facts, or are you just another blind faith supporter that is convinced their club can do no wrong ?

    Clearly, I think differently to other people. I thought the article was well written and very informative. It gave me a walk through what key personnel and stakeholders were thinking, as well as what they did and didn't do. I like to be informed about my club, not kept in the dark, and I'm more aware for having read it. I also didn't feel there was any bias, just reporting of events, as well as inferences, which goes with the territory when you're tying together perspectives from all angles of those with competing interests. This Board has runs on the board so I'll back the appointment, although it appears not all due diligence has been as thorough as one would have liked. I also would have liked some input from Jackson whether that is considered de rigueur or not.
  15. Really ? They're usually a 9 month recovery from memory, which puts him in the frame for round 1. Obviously they won't rush him, but I'd expect the first few rounds.

    I don't know if it was or wasn't, but Billy boy has a mouth the size of Lunar Park.

    I suspect their "feelings" are fine given they were 3 of only 5 candidates in the running. That says more than a president's clumsy media performance.

    I don't disagree with any of that. Do we know how the employees who missed out were treated internally ? The fact that they were given the running for the job shows how they're valued.

    Yes, the kid who comes last out of 30 deserves a participation award.
  20. If you look at just the dimensions of the MCG oval there clearly is. Easily.
  21. I hope they all get elevated.

    Saty is a bald faced liar never to be trusted again.

    You're trying too hard to get noticed.

    @Satyriconhome You're exceptionally economical with the truth. Why would Eagles supporters be shocked with Gaff's B&F in 2015 when he made AA and finished the season with the second most disposals for the year ? Even if he wasn't the pick of everyone they'd hardly be "shocked". We've now established you tell porkies. Also, answer Baghdad's question. You said he hadn't won one and moments later say Eagles supporters were shocked he had. Best to fess up and show some character.

    The guy has had his pants pulled down, but doesn't have the class to admit it.
