I'll take that bet sir! I take it your odds will be forthcoming. I will then provide my bank account into which you can place my winnings from this wager rightaway as there is so low a chance of this occurring I am almost comatose in my comfort it won't happen

Now this is a very interesting point , I'd love a hodge as a captain

WHOAH WHOAH WHOAH Let's not let accuracy via technology get in the way here

Fan petition needed. 1 person is an island. Might seem a bit twee, but a petition with say 50k-100k sigs calling for an umpiring overhaul would be something for the media to get stuck into Dill with. I suspect there would be sections of the media who would be delighted (except for biting the hand that feeds) but I might be wrong. Starting a petition and spreading has never been easier. We could also call for the summary execution of the Port Dees umpires for added entertainment value or else some forensic accounting of their betting accounts. Not at all suggestion anything amiss there, but it's good to be sure.

Agree with all of this. As an objective observer of the WCE/ESS game with equal parts completely rational hate for both, along with admiration for ESS's start, I could not believe the umpiring against ESS.

The predictor auto tip looks like it uses a lot of historical data which is as sound a basis as any to predict on. A week 1 Elimination Final flogging at the hands of Collingwood does not make me happy. I would much prefer to play anybody else (and lose to them). Literally anyone. Actually I don't know if anyone has done this, but I ran the predictor about 10 times and variously had us 7th playing Pies or Cats W1 @6th 6th playing Cats or Pies @ 7th W1 (reversal of above) 5th playing GWS, Hawks or Roos @ 8th No scenarios put us 8th or out of 8, and no scenarios put us above 5th. Of the above games I reckon we could account for GWS, Hawks, Roos and maybe Cats (low confidence though). Confidence low v pies. == Some big games Pies V Tiges @ G R 19. Crikey. Tigers Cats @ G R20. Crikey.

Obviously the accuracy of ladder predictor turns on the %s, how accurate are they likely to be?!

Awesome WCE away Week 1 with them getting a 5 goal umpire assisted head start

+1 Roos sent a clear message in the DL podcast

Wouldn't it be a very good lesson and growing for the team and brand (?)

No he cannot pretty sure posters here mentioned port height yet we went in short and it was admitted as much afterward maybe the match selection committee can have a gander here first

Maybe we should suck up more

Golf. A totally apt comparison. Hmmm that looks to be a hard 7. Nope easy 6. Maybe umpires are just dopey

What was the 75m penalty ????

What can clubs do realistically? go on strike? Sue the league? and that's the problem and why I want the data so I can try and pull it apart and find the main offenders - quantitative data indisputable

There is no denying the umpires cost us the game melk wingard we win by 2

It's not just about which train station is a better choice dv8. If you can't see that then this is a pointless discussion

Yibbida yibbida

Will that fix bias and poor decision making ,

I'll be happy if we scalp whomever is coaching st kilda when we play them, the muffin man (to dispel ambiguity I am referring to his royal highness the earl of muffintown Dew) and his rag tag bunch of merry serfs, and the 2016 premieres. I have a shocking feeling we'll lose one. Then lose every single game from there. The only scalp at risk thenceforth will be in the bar on end of season muck up day

Sure, in the seconds, cannot afford experimentation

Drop

I'd love for us to prime ourselves for a game like this

Prithee, where may I see examples of this determination ?

This is not the scalp you're looking for
