    Review Positives and Negatives vs North

    Sorry for the late reply...have been lost in the jungles of SE Asia (long story). Just a small (yet interesting) point - look up "amygdala hijack". This is unrelated to intelligence but an evolutionary adaptation that has kept our caveman ancestors alive (and Dockers supporters). Rather than...

    Unofficial Preview Changes for Grand Final - West Coast v Hawthorn

    Hey guys, Slightly OT however by a cruel twist of fate I have to spend GF day in Adelaide :( Are there any Adelaide based fans here who could recommend the best place to catch the game? (apart from sitting in my hotel room, sad and lonely...) Maybe there is a pub where Eagles fans in Adelaide...

    Review Positives and Negatives vs North

    Just posted the following in the umpire rant thread on the North board, in case anyone is interested (or someone pops an artery and deletes it) Hello everyone, While I acknowledge that posting on an opposition supporters' post-game umpire venting thread will be as popular as a vegan at a paleo...

    Roast Preliminary Final Umpiring Thread

    Hello everyone, While I acknowledge that posting on an opposition supporters' post-game umpire venting thread will be as popular as a vegan at a paleo convention, I thought I might make a couple of points which, depending on the person, will either comfort or further enrage. As someone with...

    Game Day There's Some Game On Friday Apparently - Eagles v Hawks, QF

    Have just posted some rudimentary statistical analysis in the Hawks thread here - http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/2nd-qualifying-final-west-coast-eagles-v-hawthorn-8-20pm-aest-subiaco.1111082/page-9 If there are any statistical buffs, please add your thoughts. Depending on skin...

    Buddy Out - mental health issue, says club.

    I am guessing by your syntax that you are a neuroscientist or expert in psychopharmacology so keen to get some more insights from you. Are you thinking dysfunction in Buddy's nucleus accumbens or more of a limbic issue? Appreciate you may be occupied with Mensa related responsibilities however...

    Review Match Summary, West Coast v Dogs, Rd 21, 2015

    Fantastic reply Dogwatch - I don't suppose you would be amenable to switching over to becoming a WC fan and posting analysis like this would you? Nah, didn't think so - but worth a shot ;) I guess my thesis would be that determining the answer to this question is certainly possible with enough...

    Review Positives and Negatives vs Bulldogs, Rd 21, 2015

    Pat_Footy - you are a Solanaceae par excellence - bravo! By the way, Dogwatch has posted a very interesting (yet, unfortunately, statistically meaningless) analysis of WC free kick counts in the WB post match thread. I love the idea, just not the execution. However as I am too lazy/busy to...

    Review Match Summary, West Coast v Dogs, Rd 21, 2015

    Hey Dogwatch, firstly can I say a HUGE thankyou for doing this. My day job is tangentially related to economics (I can't really say any more as I have colleagues on BF ;)) which require a large element of statistical analysis and controlling for variables. I float around BF post match forums...

    Preview Changes vs Hawthorn Round 19

    <in b4 thread lock> A lot of people seem to be backing Lamb hard. Ewe cannot be serious?! I don't think the MC will try to ram him back into the side against the Hawks. With his lack of experience in big games he will get fleeced - the experienced Hawks will just flock to him, and then he...

    Review Positives and Negatives - Gold Coast, Rd 18 2015

    Oh wow...suddenly two bits of (what I thought was) unconnected information has just dawned on me as being related - 1. Some of you may remember Qantas making that announcement that they would be altering their flight path during Eagles home games. I could never work out why exactly they would...

    Review Positives and Negatives - Gold Coast, Rd 18 2015

    ^ this I am finding it difficult not to be pessimistic after that game. Unless I find out that the performance is linked directly to the entire team hitting a Gold Coast underage rave the night before, with the boys doing big fat lines of Special K off of Harley's kitchen table until just...

    Review Positives and Negatives - Gold Coast, Rd 18 2015

    + Sheed - He has a touch of the mongrel about him which I like - I can imagine him dragging us across the line more than once in the next 10 years (contrasts nicely with a Masten type who has great endurance and disposal but lacks the ability to impose himself on the game) + Sinclair - Gets...

    List Mgmt. 2015 Trade/Draft/FA - SuperMegaUltraThread

    Where this gets truly interesting is, if this is the case, how should WC play this out? On the field he hurts us, yet off the field his currency drops. A fiendish scenario for which I have no answers!

    Opinion How do we beat Hawthorn?

    Completely agree that if we are getting towelled up using what has worked to date, we should try any number of alternative tactics (including 1 on 1) to stem the flow. However I would be flabbergasted if 1 on 1 works better than the web and it certainly shouldn't be pre-empted heading into the...
