Bias is not illogical. Plenty of studies have given away people's subconscious prejudices. Even people who think they are progressive thinking will have a heart rate race when they see a photo of people of different backgrounds. Footy teams have enough history and division for officiators (who also might support an opposing club and not be able to put that aside) to make decisions based on perception. Something like the Saints are s**t, they have always been s**t and play rough to overcome their shitness. Or the Hawks are a successful club, they do things the right way.
With your past record Rath will be an outstanding success.
Anything you post, I take the opposite to be true.
Outlined by when I watched match sim.
Played in the intra but the plan is to play him in the last two games. Not really sure why but that's been the plan for a while.
You would have to be on ya Pat Malone there cobba.
I haven't hear anything but huge praises for his appointment, and that is coming from people outside of our club.

No qualms with Gears leading again, though that would suggest he’s best 22 unless injured. I just hope that by some stage this season, we’re discussing a player/s that will have developed to a point we’re ready to move past Gears in terms of his on-field. Nothing against him at all, just wanting to see growth.

I'm phased by who tosses the coin since they have to then play the game too...

I thought they were talking about cancer. Sorry to hear your mum and others on this page went through it. I just did some reading about shingles and it sounds terrible!
yeah he’s a strong type. We mainly played Paton on him last year and he gave him a bath. Takes a good mark though so Roberton could be a better option. I’d still give Geary first crack though. Zurhaar doesn’t play that tall.
Gave me the same vibe as richo did. That didnt end well.

Bit harsh on Rath. Why aren't you sold on him?

"SWIM BETWEEN MY FLAGS": HOW ST KILDA BALL MAGNET ADDRESSED SKILL DEFICIENCY
BY SAM MILLS 4 HOURS AGO
Two-time St Kilda best & fairest winner Seb Ross has revealed he’s made the decision to reduce his long kicking going into the 2020 AFL season.
Ross told SEN's Bob and Andy that he realised midway through last season he should stick to short field kicks for the benefit of the team.
I wasn’t happy with my long kicking. Last year I tended to kick it off my knee or shin a little bit because I’m just trying to boot the cover off it,” the Saints midfielder said.
“Halfway through last year I was just having an issue with my inside 50 kicking and it was all to do with the longer entries.
“I sat down with Brendon Lade, we worked out a way I could be more efficient for the team by playing within my realms. I’m a good short kick and it’s beneficial for the team a lot of the time to keep the ball in possession.
“You’ve just got to learn to work with what you’ve got and be able to manipulate certain situations to your advantage. Obviously, I’m just trying to hit the short option and swim between my flags."
The 26-year-old has learnt to appreciate the strengths of his teammates and trust them to bring aspects to the game that he can’t bring.
“We’ve got other guys in the team that can pull out that long kick and play to their strengths as well,” Ross said.
“That’s where I think I can progress as a footballer, especially because we’ve got a few new guys this season, understanding their strengths and what they bring to the side – how I can complement them and bring them into the game.”
Ross was vice-captain in 2019 and led the team in the absence of regular captain Jarryn Geary.
At the risk of being too much of a tosser quoting myself - I recon I wasnt far off the mark in June 2019 - my reference to Ablett was that he (to my mind) uses small kicks but pretty well always finds a target - usually in a good position

Because he’s not sold on anything. Next it will be that the boots we run out in next week are embarrassing.
Trust issues.
