Burton is quite easily the worst media performer in the sports industry i have seen. He doesn't seem to have any empathy, lacks diplomacy and comes across as a knowall twat.

Like Goodwin

I haven't done the math, and I am not sure I will, but the percentage system bothers me a bit. I wonder whether a "% differencial" system would be substantially fairer.

It is basically a point-differential system, but with every game being worthy 100 points. Those who know math around here, could you tell me whether this would improve the current system or it is just the same thing with other clothes?

TeamA%points + TeamB%points = 100.

Team%points = (TeamPoints*100)/(TotalPointsScored)

%Diff. = Team%points - Opponent%points
---
Then, it is just a matter of adding up the %Differential for every game throughout the season.

For instance, we have beaten Melbourne by 75-65, in a total of 140 points scored.

(75*100)/140= 53.57
(65*100)/140= 46.43

Port's %Diff. would have been +7.14
Melbourne's, -7.14

Subaru seems to be despised (almost) as much on that board as here.

How's that mick500 tosser traveling

 

[philreich]

From a grand final appearance to "at least we are better than Carlton!".

What a hilarious tumble.

Well to put it in perspective, the way they've gone lately, Carlton is almost the only side they can beat.

Those port flogs were right, we really aren't a club, just a corporation run by middle managers.

- paraphrasing some crows board poster.

That got likes. I'm actually not sure I'm comfortable with this level of enlightenment amongst their customer base.

Such a glowing statement issued by CM over the parting of ways (real meaning - being dumped). Looks like some-one received a nice financial payout.

 

[pastmyprimus]

That press conference was a train wreck. At crowland, amateur hour is more common than happy hour at the Alma.

Essington can sack neeld mid season but the lovely boys haven't got the stones to sack bretty birdman

The sanfl use the system you describe. It's the one I grew up with so it made more sense to me. But essentially I don't think it would make any difference to ladder position

Nor should they. I think we all agree he’s great for them.

 

[PA88]

I hope there's further entertainment from crowland happening today.

 

[El Zorro]

If anything, they need to expand his responsibilities. Maybe even make him CEO when the great Fages finished cleaning the mechanism and moves on to work at chunk at higher appointments.

 

[Magus]

Pyke was wobbling his head around so much I thought it was going to fall off. Should be sitting on a dashboard somewhere.

I have her blocked. I can imagine she would have reached levels of hysteria never before seen by now.

For balance though, another poster said that where they have failed is in not controlling the media enough.

That train wreck of a presser wouldn’t have satisfied anyone, especially when it started with Pyke and BirdBrain pretending they had no idea why they were actually facing the media ( ie nothing to see here) and ended with BirdBrain storming off.

 

[chiwigi]

Why was there only 26k to the North/WB game?

Tickets were too expensive and it was wet indoors.

 

[El Zorro]

Why was there only 26k to the North/WB game?

That's about 100% of both supporter bases combined, isn't it? Good effort, I would say.

Is that crows full press conference available? It's not on the afl website.
