It's not a better draft pick - it goes to Carlton

Holy wall of bullshit Batman! Seriously - pretty much everything you wrote is wrong. 1. The graph is not based on another graph - it's based on measured and estimated average temperatures. 2. Volcanoes... I've seen this myth before, and it's very much that - a myth...

There is nobody on earth (possible hyperbole) who believes the climate is solely determined by man. However, based on evidence, we can say with near statistical certainty that we are contributing greatly to the increased rate of warming. You are correct that correlation does not prove causation...

A graph drawn 2 years ago was discredited 15 years ago? That's pretty bloody incredible. You say to get it off this thread, when it was a response to an imbecilic argument that anyone believing in man-made climate change (which is pretty much the entire scientific community) needed to think for...

He's taking about 2011

And your idea is to improve the midfield by removing its best performing player? Sounds like a great idea...

See, if you based your argument on the fact that he doesn't play enough, then maybe people would take you seriously. But when you base it on the fantasy that he doesn't contribute enough when he plays, people rightly dismiss what you have to say.

Since when? He's not getting a ridiculous wage - the reported figure was around 550k per year. I mean, this is all just patently wrong. Literally every game he played last year was a "good stat" game, with a number of standout performances. So we should have cut our losses just when he'd...

Wtf are you taking about? He averaged 28 disposals, 6 clearances, 7 tackles a game last season. Only once did he have fewer than 24 possessions (20). You want to trade him to possibly move up in the draft to get the midfield talent we're missing? He is the midfield talent we're missing.

FFS Vader, do you not remember the furore last year with Jarman being "snubbed", when the club committed to him at this same step? All they're doing is making it clear that this nomination does not mean he will definitely be taken in the national draft, but he will be taken in the rookie draft...

We have to play at that hole again?

That's nice, but not an option.

Oh, definitely... we were terrible at the contest all season... :rolleyes:

Technically, Weller and Matera were part of separate trades: Weller and 41 for pick 2 2018 R3 pick for Matera

Seriously? WGAF?

Helium walks into a bar, and the bartender says "Hey! We don't serve noble gases here." Helium doesn't react.

Two chemists walk into a bar. The first says to the bartender, "I'll have an H2O" The second says, "I'll have an H2O too". He died

The only way he's superior to Hartigan is he can kick the ball farther.

No, the bombers had the umpires. Also, the 1993 crows lost to Carlton because of bad kicking, not because of Greg Williams.

Look, I'm not the world's biggest fan of Jenkins or anything, but this logic is just faulty. Not every player the same size plays the same way. Jenkins strengths are not pack marks and hitting contests - his strengths are that, for a big man, he's pretty fast, allowing him to work up the ground...

Have you seen the crows record in the wet this year? ;)

How about this part of the AMA's code of ethics : 2.1.1 Consider first the well-being of the patient. I'd say that sending a concussed individual back into play on a contact support would violate that.

You finished 2nd and lost to 7th. Adelaide finished 4th and beat 5th. Adelaide was the 3rd highest winner from the first week, earning a home final in the 2nd week (the highest 2 going through to the prelims).

Except in cases where there is... NBA for example - players can be restricted or unrestricted free agents, and if an offer for a restricted free agent is matched, they must stay with their existing team. The NBA also has rules in place that mean that a player's existing team is able to offer...

In most places, the players don't have to consent to a trade. We'll, maybe not most, but in plenty.

So it should have been Eddie's goal then... but how did he contribute to it more than Jenkins? He made no effort at all to win the ball, and just got on the end of McGovern's kick. Fact is, when Eddie turned after receiving the ball, Jenkins was in a better position than him, so he passed it to...

Nope - just the 22 (or 21 if Sloane is in... did anyone count?)

He won't - he's there, and they only invite those that make the team.

I think you need to remove the tin-foil hat... Lever I agree with - don't think he should've made it, but it's not the most ridiculous selection. Lynch is borderline, but again fair enough, I think - won't make the final 22. Laird had the 4th most possessions in the league as a half-back. Walker...

We would've been playing Geelong, who were the highest ranked team at that stage.
