West Coast 48
Essendon 44

The predictor I found was pretty rank so I should wait for the AFL one to be available unless anyone else knows where to find one?

In reality you have NFI either.

In reality neither do you. Neither does anyone.

If anyone did, there would be no point in playing the game.

No, I'm referring to how the game is played, what goes on behind the scenes with analytics, structures, team rules etc.

We all know why we play the game, it's the greatest game in the world, but to mock someone else by saying they have "NFI" about the above mentioned when I/you/we don't either comes across as a bit.....*multisyllabic word here*.

Dude you went to a conference, that's nice, but it doesn't make the people presenting that material that you're sucking off 100% correct 100% of the time, either.

Those on the stage are in charge of a club that finished 8th last year and has failed time and time again for seasons on end.

This is why I like data. It doesn't lie.

I agree data does not lie, nor does it tell the full story.

Not referring to that at all, a few hours of listening to some presentations hasn't given me anything but a small insight into what goes on, a very small insight.

But you standing there mocking someone's understanding because they're frustrated at "chippy chippy sideways" is so unbelievably high and mighty it's almost as frustrating as the "chippy chippy sideways" stuff itself, but you've got data to back it up so hey, you must be right.

Also, don't ever refer to me as "dude", ever, and as for "sucking someone off" I'd suggest that's probably not something I'd do, nor would I think it's something you can say I would.

This is pure unadulterated claptrap. Utter garbage, in fact.

There are degrees of knowledge, different levels of understanding. You're reducing that into a simplistic binary world which doesn't exist, and nor should it.

Honestly, I cannot stand that style of thinking. It's tantamount to never questioning anything and is inherently unhealthy. And very not Port Adelaide, might I add.

This comment irks me. You regularly present yourself as an Elitist and are quite condescending on here, seldom wrong and when challenged enjoy beating down people with your facts or then taking cheap swipes at their level of intelligence with a constant display of degradation, yet you have the audacity to then highlight that a person - likely a specialist in their field, with data and research to support THEIR beliefs - who is presenting material in THEIR specialist field, as unlikely to be correct 100% correct, 100% of the time.

Everyone knows that no one can be correct 100% of the time, and no one knows everything... everyone except you it seems.

I enjoy keynote speakers, forums, conferences, presentations etc - not because I necessarily take everything as gospel, but I enjoy the insight it gives me into a world that i'm interested in that I probably would never be involved in. If I pick up learnings or ideals that I could use in other facets of sport or life then it's a bonus.

Take them for what they are.

Nah get ******.

If someone doesn't understand that moving the ball to the other side of the ground to find space can be advantageous then they don't understand the game. Which is fine, I don't care if someone doesn't understand that, why would I.

But Booney was inferring that my knowing that fact, somehow puts me in the position that I'm elitist or above people.

It's bullshit anti-intellectual rubbish and I'm not putting up with it.

Morell, Booney's argument is you should not label all pundits who yell "just kick it long" as incorrect or having NFI. That was it.
Not sure why it's come to this!
