Yeah I agree.
Big forward with bung ankle, tough to really come back from....
I don't mind Dixon, he plays the game in a good spirit. Just think he struggles a bit with Footy IQ. Coaching, or just him? Hard to say. Todd Marshall is also struggling to stay in games, so yeah probably coaching.
Mitch Georgiades is still playing a raw game, so hard to guage it with him.

It means utilising evidence based and measurable data to recognise players that are undervalued, because they don't measure up to the subjective measures of scouts (or the out of date data scouts used).Sure, if moneyball doesn’t mean what it used to
It always used to be the opposite of worrying about meaningless counting stats.
But if that’s changed?
I guess you could argue the out of date data are meaningless counting stats, but my memory of the book is that the scouts were overvaluing things like bat speed and contact, as compared to on base percentage, say.
They rated look and feel too high, as compared to unsightly players who still managed to get on base.
It's been a while though - and nothing is more boring than someone who refers to Moneyball, so I apologize for that.

It’s about cognitive bias, and trying to answer the question about why really smart people make so many bad decisions
They don’t lack incentives, knowledge, smarts, and yet they make stupid decisions over and over.
Part of it is ego, focusing on the wrong things, even when better information is right under their nose. Part of it is that people massively overestimate their abilities as rational, probabilistic agents.
Michael Lewis on the King of Human Error
Having charted Billy Beane’s sports-management breakthrough in the best-selling Moneyball, Michael Lewis turns his attention to the man who made Beane’s triumph possible, Israeli psychologist Daniel Kahneman. And Kahneman’s story may be even more dramatic
Prospect theory underpins moneyball, and was the principle work that led to the first (and only time ever) where 2 psychologists won the Nobel prize for economics despite not being economists!

That should cheer him up!
Poor guy
There's something that feels especially pointless about doing a bad injury in training. On the battlefield you understand that it's a risk. But in the tune up phase?

I have them in the bottom four, but it could really go either way for them this year.

That's a huge call, I have them finishing bottom. Grundy can only do so much with such a raw team.

Who was Grundy tucking against ?? Darcy Cameron ??
He'll be recovering on one of the other grounds that is considered a co-field to the main one.

Yep, but it’s not an easy lesson if you’re an addict.
How do Melbourne handle this now? The guys just won a flag. It’s not the distraction they need leading into their premiership defence.

AFL boss Gillon McLachlan was alarmed by reports of Simon Goodwin’s behaviour
AFL supremo Gillon McLachlan raised concerns with Melbourne about reports of Simon Goodwin’s behaviour, with one encounter at the Sorrento Hotel stunning the CEO.AFL supremo Gillon McLachlan described Simon Goodwin’s decision to drink and gamble with players as “crazy” in a crisis meeting about the coach’s behaviour.
McLachlan and league commission chairman Richard Goyder were briefed on allegations that Goodwin had some serious issues during an online meeting on the eve of the club’s 2021 premiership season.
Demons officials had been so concerned about what Goodwin “might get up to in Las Vegas” – on a trip in late 2019 – a chaperone was sent to keep an eye on him, a club doctor-turned-whistleblower claimed.
Leaked emails, board memos and transcripts of meetings reveal several directors, including then-president Glen Bartlett, were so alarmed about allegations regarding Goodwin’s lifestyle and workplace bullying they discussed standing him down
Without reading any of this I'm just going to assume most of this is bullshit that has been blown up way out of proportion.
