New year so thought I'd run through some of the footy stuff I've been proud of over the course of 2023. First priority for 2024 is properly automating the visual match reports.
Suggestions on improvements, new ideas, what you'd like to see more or less of more than welcome.

A “small” number of actual offenders doesn’t matter when the church as an institution decided to protect offenders and allow them to continue abusing children. The entire church disgraced itself, as do any who attempt to defend or downplay it.

2020 - dogs match bid for JUH at pick 1
2021 - rules change to disallow matching for high picks
2023 - dogs draft Sanders from North NGA at pick 6
2024 - rules change to re-allow matching high picks again
Must be nice.

This is the stupidest thing the tribunal has ever said. He gets off with a fine for rough conduct because he has an excellent record due to having got off with a fine in his three previous charges of rough conduct
@FOXFOOTY
The AFL Tribunal found that this was 'medium' impact, but downgraded the sanction from a one-match ban to a fine based on exceptional and compelling circumstances.
Here are the full reasons on that:
We turn now to exceptional and compelling circumstances.

all the players that have been suspended for tackles are going to be pretty miffed that they should have actually got off because they were football acts
There is no suggestion Maynard jumped off the ground to knock Brayshaw out.
He jumped off the ground to spoil. A football act.
Goodwin is sticking up for his player, I get it - but his description in the press conference seems strange

Possibly a bit mad, but what if xScore but for general play?
What is the expected next scoring event if you take a mark/free-kick on the field... Lots more to do on this, and probably need to do a proper post to work through it. Has potential though I think.

Australian journalists almost universally have two approaches to assessing policy: ignoring the policy altogether and commenting only on how it will affect opinion polls, or attempting gotcha questions on statistics. zero room for actual meaningful analysis.

How does an afl standard umpire miss this? Clear best position in the marking contest, and the opponent just shoves in the back with both arms. Where else was the dickhead looking?

Thought this raised some interesting questions, so tried to shed some light on the subject - probably badly in need of an edit but hopefully it's worth a quick read nonetheless -
AFL Ratings don't make any sense.
Banfield & Sturt & Tom McDonald better than Treacy?
Oliver & Pickett & Billings (sub) better than Fyfe?
Langdon better than Sharp?
Amiss, Freddy Turner & JVR worst few on ground?
Melksham better than May?

Do non-victorian fans actually think we're sitting around going "oh no, I'm shattered the people I have to share a city with aren't doing better than us".

If accurate it’s an absolute disgrace by the club to have let him back on the field. Players are competitors and will generally want to compete, it’s the clubs job to step in and protect players from themselves when needed.

How is converting owner-occupier properties to investment properties a solution? The would-be owners don't just disappear, instead of owning a place they're competing with other renters and increasing demand.

Some really quick and dirty rankings from the season so far. The most obvious thing that sticks out is that the best teams care a lot less about winning stoppage, and a lot more about what they do post-stoppage both attacking and defending
