[Petrify]

I want it on record he was my whipping boy before anyone elses

 

[ghostdog]

Ordinary tonight. Couldn't find his rhythm and hardly generated any run.

Needs t make up his mind, he is either in or out, stop the bull shit and committ or go. Same with parish, if they don’t want to be here on your bike

What bullshit?

 

[jannissary]

step dad knows someone on the adelaide board, he “alleges” they’re interested in redman, but knows we’ll be able to match their offer. can’t say i’m shocked.

without revealing too much, as redman comes from millicent, (ie the sticks) he’d have played plenty of junior football in victoria as well as SA, though this is known i’d say

What bullshit?

We are Essington supporters. How dare one of our players get his manager to explore all options before signing again. They should all take a pay cut and sign on for 16 years.

 

[Keystone agony]

Acc to Caro made crows aware 12 months ago he was likely to leave end of this year

Now 60/40 to stay

I doubt Redman would've played much in Victoria growing up.

I grew up in Mt Gambier and played in the Western Border Football League. There was Millicent, 4 Mt Gambier sides, 2 Hamilton sides, Portland, Coleraine, Casterton and Heywood. Junior/senior colts was only the 4 Mt Gambier sides and Millicent, u18s, B and A grade included the Vic sides.

All of Coleraine, Heywood, Portland and Hamilton (the 2 sides merged) moved into either the Hampden or South West footy leagues in 2013 or earlier before Mason would've played seniors for Millicent so he might've played against/at Casterton only.

If he moves it'll be for an offer we can't match, but it sounds like we can match anything the Crows can put to him. Playing juniors in Vic or SA would have no bearing on him staying or leaving, where he wants to live and play will be what it comes down to as well as our ability to match any offer.

 

[citizen-erased]

Footy players have a mandatory style of signature that they have to use for autographs with their surname and playing number... which is probably not their 'bank signature'. I guess the autograph would still technically count though, if they did use it on a contract

if he gives us a thumps up, we could take that as intent

step dad grew up on the victorian side of the border too but fair point, he played against a lot of SA sides, but that was 30-40 years ago

Yeah I was talking early/mid 90s. It started with Coleraine leaving I think the year after I moved away, then Heywood soon after. Hamilton and Portland were much later, 2012/2013 time frame.

It’s when someone, journalists or anyone, start sprouting stuff like 60-40 or 70-30 that I know they’re talking rubbish. Who on earth is putting numbers like that together? Is redman sitting down with a pros and cons list, and has come up with 6 pros and 4 cons to staying?

I’ll accept 50/50 as to meaning a guy is genuinely undecided. But outside of that, give me the 5 point scale of “definitely staying, leaning towards staying, undecided, leaning towards going, definitely going.”

This 60/40, 90/10 stuff is rubbish.

 

[doug85]

So we force a trade. Take the crows pick 10 or whatever and move on

Don’t let them bend us over a barrel like they did with Sydney and Dawson. They are very similar to dodoro with their trade strategy.

60/40 ie leaning toward staying in your case

I love the %, more precise

Oh yes and I appreciate that is what that means. It’s just a pet peeve of mine, that those numbers are completely made up. No one is thinking that way, particularly not Redman himself.

A quick google search shows that 73.6% of stats are not quantifiable. Alarming number really.

To be clear, I’d much rather we keep Mason.

Anyway, we got pick 10 for Saad. I reckon that’s about right for Reddog too.

Horse race reporting.

It's just such an easy framework for them to use. Same with politics.

also the 50/50 reporting also allows weekly articles, or even daily articles of flip flopping decisions.
It's all done to drive traffic at the end of the day, to mine people's attention.

On a scale of Tom Browne to Caro, how confident of you are that?
