If he’d managed to do that in his first ten years Goodwin might not have exiled him to the colonies.

The Footy Show isn't about well thought out football opinions though. It hasn't been for a long time.

And I think one of the reasons they won't ever let it die, is to let it die is to admit defeat. To admit that Newman and McGuires brand of blokey matey misogyny and buffoonery has had it's day. The people at Channel 9, (and Eddie and Sam in particular), will never want to admit that until the bitter end. So when it does die, (becauase of lack of ratings = lack of profitability), the few people/mouthbreathers left watching will blame PC culture and the bloody gay muslim foreign reffo sheilas for killing it, when it has been dead and irrellevant for at least 4-5 years.

Actually I think you'll find the reason for the low ratings is Rebecca Maddern, at least that's according to facebook comments on footy show articles...

Its really grasping at straws that they think that is the reason. I hope Mddern moves on from the show soon to do something better and give these fuckwads less and less excuses to blame its failure on.

Has it ever been about well though out football opinions? If that's what you're after the pregame stuff on ABC Grandstand is all you need.

Serious footy stats people might be interested in this article: http://journals.sagepub.com/eprint/Pv3bEcp6EQMnPAa24cuP/full

Abstract:

quote:

This study investigated the validity of the official Australian Football League Player Ratings system. It also aimed to determine the extent to which the distribution of points across the 13 rating subcategories could explain Australian Football League match outcome. Ratings were obtained for each player from Australian Football League matches played during the 2013–2016 seasons, along with the corresponding match outcome (Win/Loss and score margin). The values for each of the 13 subcategories that comprise the ratings were also obtained for the 2016 season. Total team rating scores were derived as an objective team outcome for each match. Percentage agreement and Pearson correlational analyses revealed that winning teams displayed a higher total team rating in 94.2% of matches and an association of r = 0.96 (95% confidence interval = 0.95–0.96) between match score margin and total team rating differential, respectively. A Partial Decision Tree (PART) analysis resulted in seven rules capable of determining the extent to which relative contributions of rating subcategories explain Win/Loss at an accuracy of 79.3%. These models support the validity of the Australian Football League Player Ratings system and its use as a pertinent system for objective player analyses in the Australian Football League

Not that I understand any of it but the first and last sentences. :shrug:

Shocking first quarter from us. Yes, lets move harris to the midfield... as soon as she went back forward in q2 she kicks a goal in 30 seconds.

We traded instead of drafted and now all the new talent will go to geelong and north. We could have had Conti if we didn't trade for nicola stevens who hasn't shown up this season. Sure losing davey has made it harder for all the other players but we've been lacking basic footy skills like short kicks and marking.

Oh well at least our mens team looks promising this year... untill cripps gets injured early again.

If Adelaide and GWS both lose, Brisbane will probably be behind the loser of Melbourne/WB on percentage.

Highlight of today's match. Leaving my keys on the seat next to me on the heroes stand so I had to go back up there just as I realised I left them behind while crossing royal parade.

Pulling out of the Zoo carpark and lauren brazzale driving lauren arnell, darcy vescio and another player home behind me, they pulled up beside me waiting for the tram to cross macathur road and I gave them a wave.

I mean, I said hi to two of them at half time when they were coming out of the admin building but hey...

Anyway, waiting 2019 and I guess the vflw season this year, see if out new team is more of a trainee team or if they'll try to get some of our aflw players to jump club.

I've got a pocket full of cheese🧀, and a garden full of trees🌴.

So, I have gone and bought an international watch AFL season pass, and have donated it to one of the pubs here.

This is so I will have somewhere to watch the football, and also so I won't have to do what I did last year, and watch the GF alone on my laptop in my office at school.

I tried it out yesterday for the first time, and it worked OK, and was only a little bit spotty at times though. But the $149 US is a small price to pay for bringing footy to Fuzhou.
