handballs he would be more at home at the bulldogs.

 

[The hands of stone]

If im being honest would prefer the Bombres to go down by less than a kick

 

[Off The Couch]

I'm a fan of Ed Langdon.

You would of liked that goal then

But they were so brave

I’d say he has gone backwards this year but maybe sideways is more appropriate?

Even the doper fans are starting to get restless about the form of their favourite crab.

 

[Mercy Seat]

They had an off night but they lifted v the swans

But seriously, they are doing something that discourages frees against or encourages frees for in such a way that no other team can match them on average. I’d be amazed if there wasn’t an element of coaching involved.

Subconscious psychological bias due to the blue in their jumper? I know it sounds ridiculous but for the past 20 years, Dogs, North, Blue, WC have always being the top of the free kicks list, with Geelong not far behind.

I posted this once before and it was suggested by another poster that the same thing has been discussed is the soccer world, with teams wearing blue supposedly more likely to be awarded penalties than non (tho I’ve not fact checked this).

How strange, please don’t see we have to bring out their bananas in pyjamas jumper next season

 

[Hodginator]

I liked the part where the bombers went 0-3

It would be nice for them to win a couple of games so by the time we play them
In round 7 we crush them by 100 points thus ending their season

 

[spudmaster]

Couldn't give two flying F's about the showdown, but are we quietly wanting to see the Crows come back in the last and pinch it just to watch Port go 0-3 for the Kornes/Kochie melts?

A mate of mine claimed there was a study that informed port’s choice of teal in their uniform. Allegedly it did show a blue, the teal used by port was close to an ideal colour to attack beneficial umpiring. Same study allegedly identified yellow as the worst colour

But I was never able to find the study. In the USA there is a bias around predominately black and predominately white. You can probably Guess in which direction those biases work…

A quick Google just now a few studies have identified an effect of red (negative) at least when it is against a blue team.

Edit: it might be a dark/intense v light/calming colour contrast that informs the bias and some cultural elements in the mix too.

 

[Flukey!]

Go Crows!

 

[Brishawk]

Port be like…

 

[Flukey!]

No way....

 

[Brishawk]
