Interesting to know that half of our board would have desisted Clayton Oliver after his first season. Tsatas is 19 and has the second best hands in the comp. He's also quick. He'll be a top 5 player in the comp and half of our supporters want him shipped off for a 4th rounder.

Sam Kerr. But you have a point though. Some comments hit a nerve. Some don't.

Do you honestly believe that anybody can predict the future? Two players (say Caddy and Tsatas) becoming genuine stars will transform the team. Of course, they're just as likely to be injury prone and/or mediocre but that's the vagaries of footy.

How? Whilst most people were onboard with most of these players coming, none of them believed they would move the needle enough to ensure a finals spot - let alone put us in top 4 contention. But two things. 1) We had lots in the salary cap (and still do) and none of them cost us any draft...

Bombers haven't played a prelim in 20 years. We should get 4 PP.

For every one AFL listed player there's 1000 footy players who will never get a cent from kicking the footy around - but they still run the risk of concussions (and any real or imagined link with CTE). I guess "duty of care" and "science" only matter when there are deep pockets involved.

This is purely about retribution. Something bad happens so someone else must suffer irrespective of whether they had ill intent or that their suffering could incentivise any improvement on other people's future behaviour. Appalling. But what you expect now.

I guess: a) correlation does = causation; and b) anecdotes do = data.

The self awareness of this post is off the charts.

Epistemology. If a news source is giving you opinions dressed up as fact (eg "an expert says so") then that news source is propaganda. OTOH, if it gives direct observations (whether it's by a journalist or someone the journalist is asking) then that news source is worthwhile. The same goes for...

??? So now you're worried about uncorroborated claims! That's some world-class self-awareness you have there.

If the police leaked it it's because they know the case is nonsense. The woman went to a compensation lawyer before she went to the police. Not to mention the obvious impossibility of Lehrmann managing the second time without a condom. The AG has told the prosecutors that they must prosecute...

Mofra, admit it. Just like your mate you also believed the term "trickle down economics" was created by right wing economists didn't you? Zero independent thought.

Bizarre comment. As though governments don't constantly look for the most tenuous excuses to spend money and grant themselves power.

There's no such thing as aggregate demand so there's nothing to supplement. If you can provide me an example of a country with strong property rights, hard money and low taxes that is an economic basket case feel free to do so. Not sure what you mean by authoritarianism. Perhaps you're...
