"The mean hides a multiple of sins," is a mantra my former stats lecturers used. What about the mode? The poor relation of the averages' trinity. Discuss.

Let's face it. The AFL doesn't give a fat rat's toss bag about the lesser of the Melbourne clubs. That's us, Norf, the WB and, to a lesser extent, Melbourne, only because their fans are so fickle. Look at the way the AFL and its media sycophants have responded to Hawthorn's one decent season since 2...

Ten years ago my mate ran out of the room with tears streaming down his face yelling this very phrase!! . . . . . Never went back to Thailand. [Jokes people] That's a pearler, Sainter_Dad! An oldie, but a goodie :lol:. Now wait for the torrent of abuse from the perpetually outraged. You'll be accus...

Could name over 200

I bet you he turns out to be a halfback flanker.

You know the big difference BM, between Bolton and The Doc and all those other famous Tassie names you mentioned? Doc and co played VFL or AFL whereas Bolton played a level below them. So that makes Bolton an inferior player to the players he is coaching. No point pumping up TFL. Sure its produced ...

How do you know DC is a great developer of talent? Know him well?? I’ve known him for a long time, having played under him. A nicer bloke you’d never meet!!! Very good leader and footy coach - especially at local level. Very professional! I do know of his work and have been told by a couple of mate...

What a bonus if we can use one of Hoffman or Cole to circumvent the compulsory list spot rule for a zebra. If Peckett doesn't get bid on, we can automatically list him as a rookie. A big win for the club.

I wouldn’t trade pick 8 (which will be pick 9) until draft night If all 8 mids are gone Then I’d hit up GWS 15/16 or Richmond 11 & 20 There seems to be a bit of scuttlebutt that we'll do one or the other, depending on who we get at 7. The latter seems ideal, although the former would be very ha...

Will we, or can we wait until we've had our pick at 7 before splitting pick 8 in a live trade? Asking for a friend.

Simon Dalrymple.

Maybe it was the work of our insińder at Carlton, Jack Silvagni, or SOTSOS. He's already landed us Caminitti.

Let's hope JC (now that's an omen if I've ever seen one) turns out like the Hammer in terms of potential and being "Ready to go". Cost nothing in terms of trade. Freebie.

I reckon 3 are better than 2 if there’s not a lot in talent difference But if the two are seen as far better - then 2 can be better than 3 Is that rule #4? Rule 4 is: even if you chose wisely, its probable that if you pick two players in close order only one will end up a keeper. Corollary is that ...

Yes It is more about who you pick not where you pick Most definitely. High picks guarantee you have a better chance of getting who you want. Once you've selected, all the confounding variables come in to play. It's never going to be an exact science, but recruiting is improving, overall. The one th...

Except he was a pedo.

Correction. He was a transvestite and alcoholic. That came straight from the mouth of Yabbie.

Pou, Henry and Garcia. I'm excited!!!

Draft for the future. Trade for the present. Geelong, Hawthorn, the Swines and Brisbane have done this well in recent times. Occasionally, there are gems who fulfill both categories. Harley Reid and Will Ashcroft are good recent examples who are too good to pass up if they become available. Our best...

Have no fear, D.B.C. We are in good hands. Dalrymple is as good as anyone else in the business. I agree, SOS has made mistakes, but who hasn't? The recruiting caper is harder than it looks. I think SOS appears to be improving. Last year's haul was outstanding. I don't know how much input Toce had be...
