Spot on Jack.

To say that Perth is the only team that gets " home court calls" is just a lot or garbage. I usually enjoy your creative writing Jack but seriously we here enough of this rubbish from Boti.

Who got the flop warning today Jack?

Wow just list a ton of respect for Jack Toft after this absolute garbage of a thread.

However anybody that seriously thinks that refs display "home-court bias" is a crackpot.
Consciously, that may well be true. But the notion that the crowd has zero effect on the refs is ridiculous.
I recall hearing of a study conducted in the NBA a couple of years ago, which found that home court advantage consisted almost entirely of advantageous officiating.

Perhaps the Perth players lift their defensive rating in front of a crowd?
Adelaide should try drawing a crowd sometime so we can compare the stats?

For all games played until the end of R9:
OF Rate of home team 7.1%, OF rate of away team 7.7%

Why would I want to give it a break? Would you expect Amnesty not to speak out against injustices around the globe? There could be a new disease to be discovered and maybe a Nobel prize for medicine on offer.


I remember one of those charges called against Knight was complete crap too.
Anyway, this one only affects 70 people at most; this Green-Eyed Derangement Syndrome seems to be turning into a pandemic!
