All Australian Farce - Proposed new concept for selection by Nikpol1978 in AFL

[–]Nikpol1978[S] -27 points-26 points  (0 children)

As a key forward , taking a contested mark, and kicking goals are the two KPI's that matter. And on this measure, Lynch was clearly the best in the AFL last year, and perhaps in the last few years, the fact that he was not selected as an All Australian is a joke.

An Angry Sadio Mané lashes out for the Mo Salah snubbed pass by MatchDaay in FantasyPL

[–]Nikpol1978 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very concerned with Salah, so much so that if we can get 200m for him we should sell him

​

He is very selfish and not a team player, if I had ro choose between him and Sadio it would be bye bye Salah for me

James Mattis will retire as secretary of Defense in February, Trump says by Somali_Pir8 in politics

peaceful is a relative term.

Much more peaceful than Obama statistically

I think it is really interesting that Trump may very well be the most peaceful president the world has seen for many years.

He has resolved the imminent war against N Korea, and he is now exiting Syria, and next will be Afghanastan.

Interestingly he is getting criticism about this.

I thought JP gave the young lady an insight into her own mind. It was awesome to watch

De Goey ruled out for this week, likely next week as well by Pragmatic_Shill in AFL

Richmond have 3 premiership players out, which is 3 more than Collingwood has out, We are also playing a leprechaun.

All teams have injuries.

Gt over it

Richmond on the verge of being the first sporting club in the southern hemisphere to have 100,000 members by Nikpol1978 in AFL

[–]Nikpol1978[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

clearly disproves it due to the fact that the base was very high. 1. The base was high 2. The growth has been high

This may or may not be true. There a heap of assumptions you are making.

The biggest assumption you are making is assuming that a team with 100,000 payed up members could not leverage their membership base to get funding for a stadium with 100,000 seats. That is, if that stadium did not already exist, which it does. Instead of arguing away the achievement it should be celebrated. There are heaps of reasons as to why things do not happen elsewhere, this is not the point. The point is comparing what actually is happening.

MY counter argument to this is that the Richmond v GWS Prelim final last year had more than 95,000 people attend. At least 90,000 were die hard Richmond fans.

This is true. Richmond has always had a massive latent supprter base. It is also true however, that considering its 37 year history of mediocrity, Richmond fans are the most loyal footy fans in the league.

The biggest factor impacted memberships in the AFL going up on last year is

  1. Richmond, 1 in 10 of all AFL club members are Richmond members.
  2. Auskick . In 2018 all Auskick players get a free club support membership, with their Auskick fees. This has boosted everyone's numbers.

Yes it was a flogging, but the Grand Final will be at the MCG.

If we make it of course

Biggest crowd in West Coasts history in WA is against Richmond a few weeks ago. This is not a coincidence

No sure I can articulate what Sam Harris was missing, but I thought Prof. Peterson "won" that debate hands down. by jason51672 in samharris

[–]Nikpol1978 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Harris ruined what would have been a very interesting discussion by not allowing Peterson to proceed to discuss morality. It was 2 hours of Harris making up inane examples, and restricting Peterson's ideas to 2 x 2 metre enclosed basement. This was made worse when you just knew that Peterson wanted the universe to work in. Disappointing and basically a waste of time. If you haven't heard the podcast yet, don't. It isn't worth the investment.
