Did Jarrod Croker choke ?

[Tiger Hawk]

There is no spoon

 

[Raiders_Premiers]

Oh no, I get it all. I just think it's beyond ridiculous that anyone could argue a first grade goalkicker would have a conversion rate even remotely close to 50% from that range. Without pressure a kicker of Croker's caliber would slot it at least 9 times out of 10.

:lol: Still, you don't get. "9 times out of 10" is just some bullsh*t coming out of your arse. You cannot assume he would have a 90% success rate at the angle & distance if for example he kicks the majority of his goals from right in front or from the right side of the field where he has an advantage as a left footer

Of course to actually work it out you need the stats from his successful & unsuccessful attempts at different ranges (which no one probably has & cbf gathering) but I am almost certain his average on the left side of the field would be less than the right side

 

[Doomednow]

This is hilarious. Is there a "classic threads" section?

 

[Apey]

You still haven't considered the probability of an average joe who has never kicked a goal in his life, to make the conversion

probability like that is based on observing data, without any data it is just a random guess.

Work what out?

It's 50/50 no matter what, he gets it or he doesn't.

Exactly which is why I think madunit & Pete Cash were proposing the 50/50 probability.

But as you said, like with the dice having 6 possible outcomes you can have it to the left of the post, right of the post, under the post etc (though I'm not sure in the context of goal kicking this is relevant)

You really are the gift that keeps giving.

This thread reminds me of that 'April Fools' one where there was 1 guy who just couldnt get his head around the fact that he was missing the point, no matter how many times and how many different people explained it to him.

You are officially the most geniused poster I've come across. Congratulations, you fought hard for the title, but you finally got there.

 

[andrew057]

I'm waiting for Raiders_Premiers and co. to come back and say they were just trolling, because surely theses guys aren't that geniused.

Have you seen his history? I wouldn't be so sure mate :lol:

 

[Raiders_Premiers]

Like I said petty insults that really only make you look pathetic

Still waiting for your justification, which I doubt you have... "But he'd farkin' kick it 99 times out of 100 he would!"

 

[RHCP]

There's a 50/50 chance that Raiders_Premiers will say something smart next time he posts.

See how skewed that probability is?

I'm done, you've got me.

I think the saying holds true here... "Don't argue with idiot's, they'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience".

So you win. I am 50% out of this conversation.

 

[Gidley Up]

It could not be more simple, Raiders Premiers. You want me to show this to the cat, and have the cat tell you what it is? 'Cause the cat's going to get it.

I think it's more like "sh*t I really don't have anything besides people coming in trying to be funny and insulting"

Like I said, I'm happy to be proved wrong. You've got nothing left apart from "he'd kick it 9 times out of 10" so of course you'll resort to little high school tactics

So, to summarise this thread, Jarrod Croker choked.
