Hang on, I thought you said you were not going to contribute??! Look, dont take it too hard. If you re-read my original blog post http://bit.ly/N9kikX you'll see why Norf arent pilloried by other teams' fans. As a team, Norf got nowhere near the frees the Ducks got in 2012. The incessant...

No petty arguing from me my friend, just evidence in the form of stats, and one person attempting to deny the undeniable. Its a bit too late to say you're not going to contribute, we're on our 3rd page arent we? LOL you crack me up. Fun talking with you. Cheers mate and Go the Ducks!

LOL! you're like the murderer standing over the dead body knife in hand and blood all over you, saying it wasnt me, the kangaroo did it! Nice try trying to deflect the head high conundrum onto North Melbourne, ha! that is probably not the best one i've heard all year but it is still very good...

got to laugh at this. Hard facts from 12 months ago, and look at your response. Fox footy analysts list high contact frees for last 4 years, and it dominated by Selwoods and others from the WCE. How much more evidence do you need. There is a technique for drawing high contact, and they've gotten...

That is actually a good way of getting past the north / south divide from an admin point of view. But then on the other hand the team may lack the locals' support who may resent the AFL taking control. The point of my original article was for Tassie footy fans to stop supporting Hawthorn and...

hey everyone, for those who havent seen it, latest stats on home based WA umpires in Subiaco weagels games http://bit.ly/MKfMJz From the heraldsun superfooty site. Reposted the bulk below cos you need a login. "...an Inside Football study this week shows the discrepancy is even greater when...

Unfortunate use of the words "local hicks", and realise you are speaking on behalf the AFL there. Shows the negatvie perceptions that TAS, as the smallest state, has always had, which is an extra challenge for them in every significant sporting venture, and an easy cop out for the AFL to say its...

no, the govt will continue to do what is politically expedient. We cant sit around and expect them to change their mind. The push for Tassie has to come from the people. Then when the groundswell is impossible to ignore, the govt will act. Tassie crowds need to reject Hawks and Kangas as...

yes great game for presha. I dont agree with you entirely though, the free count wasnt down to pies new way of tackling. Whether under instruction by the Geisch or not, in the 2nd half the umps put the whistle away. No frees at all for first half of 3rd qtr when pies had their run-on and kicked...

On the weekend Tassie beat Queensland in the NAB U18 comp. Pity that any Tassie talent in that team will go offshore. Queensland has 2 teams in the AFL. Tassie has none, and Demetriou has vowed that will remain the case while he is CEO. Meanwhile Demetriou ensures the 2 teams he played for in...

wellinghams comments prior to this arvo's game basically mirrored what you say on not pinning the arms and bringing them to ground. The big diff at afl level is that players are stronger, stand up in the tackle for longer, unless its a sling, but hence the need to pin the arms, if you dont...

you train to tackle well, of course you train to break tackles well. If you can draw a free from the latter, even better, and train for that too. J Selwood been doin it for yrs, Shuey's shake off of Gibbs was a text book copy of Selwood. Met Woosha when he was asst coach at the Blues. someone...

you weagels cant win. If the count stays up, youll continue to be the object of scorn for the other 17 clubs' fan bases, with every win tainted. If the count goes down, the Geisch will get the acclaim for having sorted it out. I bleed for you guys. Lets see how Shuey and co fair this arvo...

I'm glad to have elicited such a passionate response, hey, footy's an emotional sport, good on you. 1) Sure, like my original article, my hypotheses are flavoured for provocation, but are suggestions only, prefaced by IE., and my comments on Cox, Shuey and Hams is prefaced by EG., that means...

like your post. see my reply to UpForGrabs below

Lets bring it back to the stats then. The bell curve is the most interesting. To have one team, out of 18, on such an outlier, is, under statistical analysis, not a fluke. The stats show it is just down to 7 players who make up the advantage. And of those 7, its really just Shuey and Cox...

No youre wrong and I refute your comment!!! I stopped sooking yesterday

West Coast Eagles free kick stats to Round 12 this year show a remarkable difference compared to the other 17 teams in the AFL, when comparing not just Frees For, but the ratio of Frees For to Frees Against. Are the Eagles really that deserving of such a massive advantage, or is it just down to...

Okay we know everyone's been calling them the West Coast Ducks and saying the home crowd advantage is the reason behind West Coast's massive frees for imbalance compared to other teams. But closer analysis of the stats shows its just down to 7 players who are making this difference. And I'm...

Sick of the current crop of commentators and media? Looking for something a little...different? With a bit of je ne sais quoi? Then its time for Kirky to have his own footy show. Or his own Saturday Night Garden Variety Show. Yep. Its time for "Bretts Quirks" to hit the airwaves...

On that whole saga and the Dave's follow up at the Dees, just what is Misfuds job description? Take things out of context and ruin reputations? Or promote I indigenous participation in AFL? He should've got the boot long ago

Yeah it won't be a big margin but a good game to get our confidence back

gee, this has got to be one of the best posts that you will ever see, hasnt it?

is it true robbo is only 38 yrs old

strange call by roos on indigenous when goodsey is obviously his lovechild. But on that, i always got the feeling roosy got stuck into goodsey the most and kept him out of the leadership team when coaching the swans. As for his bias, not as bad as wallsy, although i think wallsy now plays on...

Re: B Grade Commentary definitely time for new blood

i once touched bruce doulls back as he ran off north hobart oval in a state game

hes no paddy dangerfield thats for sure. when did you last see him put his body on the line like that?
