  Last Week            7/9            Season Total       44/62 Firstly, let's address Anecdotal Bias. This occurs when individuals use stories, poor memory, or the propagation of someone else's story or opinion as a basis for their statements rather than examining data and arriving at purely statistical conclusions. Each year during the MCG Anzac Day match, commentators often say, "It doesn’t matter where they are on the ladder." However, data suggests otherwise. If you rely on commentators' opinions for your selections, you may be misled. Let’s analyze this more closely. There have been 30 meetings between Collingwood and Essendon on Anzac Day (excluding 2020 due to COVID). Out of these, there have been 2 draws, and the team ranked lower on the ladder won the game only 9 times. This equates to 30% of the time, or conversely, the higher-ranked team wins 6...

Last Week           6/9           Season Total      37/53 A number of upsets on the weekend made it a tough round to pick and I think getting 6 was pretty serviceable.   Sure, someone somewhere probably got 9, but it was probably a Canadian who was bullied into joining the office tipping and before tipping asks questions like “Why do they get 6 points when the puck goes in the net?” I managed to enjoy the weekends footy a bit and also watched a bit of swimming and watched Kennedy and Gout Gout miss the final of the Stawell Gift.   All the while I became a chemistry expert trying to balance the chemical levels in my pool which had gotten a bit out of whack!   I certainly learned a lot.   I mean, I’m not ready to start cooking Meth for the masses yet, but if you get a high from floating in a body of essentially drinkable spring water then I’m...

Last Week           7/9           Season Total      31/44   Firstly, let’s talk about Rory McIlroy.  I got up at 2:30 AM Perth time to watch the final round live because I can’t trust Kayo to remember where I was if things went wrong.  I had planned to lightly doze while it was on in the background, but it was compelling viewing…even for golf.  Just when you thought he blew it, he would rally, then blow it again then rally again, only to blow it and rally again in the playoff.  It was great that Kayo did all that coverage.  But…I do still want to blast Kayo for the previous night.   I was watching Round 3 as a replay, and it was 10 hours in and McIlroy was just about to give an interview.   I sat down to watch intently but sat on the remote so it closed Kayo on me.   I was then faced with fast forwarding 10 hours b...

Last Week           5/8           Season Total      24/35 It felt like one of those weekends when there just wasn’t enough time to watch much footy.   Not that much of it was exciting, although the Gold Cost/Adelaide match was a ripper.   But more on that later.   This week is Gather Round so the spotlight will be on Adelaide and the Barossa Valley with the idea that people will travel from all over the country to witness a capitulating succession plan firsthand.   Let’s have a closer look the matches…the first time all 9 games will happen since Round 1 (the second round). Adelaide vs Geelong      Adelaide Oval    Thursday Night The best thing about the AFL coming out and saying they got it wrong, and that Adelaide lost because of it, is it’s the second time it’s happened, and history shows us that it tak...

Last Week           6/8           Season Total      19/27 I’ll start this intro off by taking a swipe at Kayo.  If you want to watch all the games live, then this is your only option.  Also, if you enjoy other sports, like golf, formula 1, car jitsu (that’s wrestling in car) then Kayo is also your go to.  Kayo knows a lot about me.  They keep all sorts of information on me.  Who I am, what my email address is, how to periodically take money from me without me having to know about it, and what I enjoy watching.  They keep all of this information and use it so that they can message me, email, harangue me, cajole me and make sure that I’m always thinking about them and thinking of ways I should be giving them more money.  But the one thing they don’t do, is remember where I got up to when watching 9 and half hours of golf.  A...
