    That might get it down to earning more than 93% of the population... So they're doing pretty well at that.

    Yeah. If it's Collingwood v Geelong in the GF, well my front lawn needs weeding.

    If you're on $2K a day, and work 44 weeks of the year (which is the same as a full time employee after annual leave and public holidays), and we'll knock off a week for sick leave, so 43. That's 43*5*2000 = $430000 (fwiw, income tax on that is 39.1%, any additional costs are also tax...

    At 34 he'd be a bit young for Collingwood you'd think.

    It's always been extremely hard to get players to move to Perth (other than ex-WA boys). If there was any justice, that difficulty would be taken into account in calculating salary caps and list sizes. Players realise they're likely to have slightly shorter careers with way more travel in...

    Opinion Should the team ask for a Priority Pick 2025 edition.

    Yes, but the AFL decide the banding using a magic eight ball, so you never know what might pop out the end.

    Opinion Should the team ask for a Priority Pick 2025 edition.

    Nine out, but two of those spots go to McCarthy and Newton. So seven spots to fill Though I'd think there's still probably some chance that Ryan doesn't end up leaving - contracted players asking to move and it not getting done is not new. I'd rate it about 15% chance that he's still an Eagle...

    While Essendon are imploding, I think this needs to be charted (should probably read number of other AFL teams not to have won a final....)

    One thing though, has the Hawks coughed up their pick last year, we'd have sent that straight on for Baker. Not our R2 pick. And looking at this year, that wouldn't have been unreasonable at all. Not sure we'd have got anything more than just 14 from the Hawks either - the F2+F3 were...

    Yeah, sometimes even good players can't get games if they're behind very good players in the pecking order. I remember my Dad telling me about his run with East Perth in the mid '60s - he was in the Ressies and always close to League quality*, but the problem was that the player he had to push...

    Might be a bit harsh on the Pies, the whole club would have PTSD if they saw them. Make Vardy the driver, and it would be all over. (Hang a banner saying "no, he wasn't held" over the side of the car as well - though to be fair, that would work on us over 2005 as well)

    If they don't play in Launceston, they will get zero support from the northern half of the state. Tasmania is like taking north of the river vs south and ramping it up by a dozen magnitudes. A Hobart only team will not be supported in Cascade country. A Tasmanian team can't run without the...

    The loudest on free speech seems it means they have freedom to say whatever they want, and you have the freedom to listen to what they say without questioning it. That's certainly the views of the current Trump administration and their sycophants for sure. (Essentially they don't actually...

    In short though - Tasmania does not have the money for this. To build it will cost a similar amount of money as Perth Stadium, in a city one eighth the size, and that will at best have one third the events in any given year. Note that any Tassie team will be playing some home games in the...

    I always assumed that it went essentially this way: AFL flunky: Hey, Tassie's on the line, they want a team again AFL honcho: Shit. Look, tell them that they have to spend a billion on a stadium. They can't afford that, it will get rid of them. AFL flunky: Ummm... boss, hate to tell you...

    The AFL are being shits about Tasmania spending over a billion dollars to make sure Collingwood never have to play at Bellerive, which Tassie can't afford. Add to that the Tasmanian government is perenially on the edge of collapse and beholden to anti-stadium independents. I'd reckon that...

    Analysis Using Data to Identify Midfield Targets

    I suspect that if Owies can survive with us until the team around him improves enough, we'll see more value from him. He's likely a player who's output correlates with the team as a whole - so in a better team he'll look considerably better, in a worse team, well, we know what he looks like.

    Best way to put Kirk into perspective, is that if they'd shot the students, he'd have considered that acceptable collateral damage to have more guns in their society.

    Yeah, the alt-right love to use terms like "intolerant left" when anyone who is normally tolerant says that someone like Kirk is a s**tstain on society. But you only have to slightly change what tolerance is to explain this. If you - like Kirk - are intolerant of people for who they are, then...

    The simpler solution is that you must have a pick at or better than your next natural pick after the bid comes in to use as part of the points required. So for GC to pick up both Uwland and Patterson, they'd need to have two picks before pick 13 (or wherever they've finally landed). I would...

    True, but why bother spending time building up an annual thing that we have to abandon pretty much before it becomes a genuine thing?

    Well I'd not want to touch Merrett with a 10,000 foot pole after what he's doing right now (even though I'm always for a bit of undermining Essendon). He sounds a lot like poison. Petracca - well our best selling point to him would be that if he played for us, Harley wouldn't be fending him...
