MISITI.

Too much background blurring for it to be Joey.

This is the one I’m unsure about. I wanted Bonner at this pick.

If you get below 30-40 it's cos you didn't try, nothing to do with how smart or dumb you are.

I’m not so sure about that, my understanding (back in the ENTER days was that a score of 40 meant you’d performed better than 40 percent of that cohort. 40%, even 30% is a massive number of flat out tanks. I know a guy (you may well know him too who got 2. He ain’t clever!

The ENTER score was a bellcurve with the majority falling in the middle. It's a ranking but it's not a percentage.
I don't like the way the 'percentile' thingy works. If you finish in the 100th percentile - that sounds like everyone is as good as you. I'd like to finish in the 1st percentile. (and probably would)

Mate if you had an atar of 1 you’d be beyond hope.

That’s interesting, I’d thought about that a while back. When I was at school I only heard of one person getting in the 60s and everyone from 70 upwards. Do people actually get ATARs of 10, 20 and 30?

It cuts off giving students the exact ATAR at 30% so anything below that is given the ranking of ā€œLess than 30ā€.


You used to (when it was ENTER, yes I’m old) be able to apply (for a fee) for them to calculate your number if you did that poorly.

Cam Cloke was extraordinarily proud of his 18.

I’m quite proud of my Anderson score of 100.
The piece de resistance was my Australian History score of 4.
And I attended the exam.

If you want to get a good atar, just do 2 languages, those inflate their scores like no ones business. get 25? naaah, becomes 40.

Alex. Footy 101: The reason is you can lose nearly the whole preseason or half a season with a Grade 2 or 3 Hammy. Take care.

I know nothing about this lad, but that highlight video show Mercuri levels of class.
I ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā–  loved Mercuri.
Morgan could very well be a excellent footballer for this awesome club.

There is something wrong with him.

He barracked for hawthorn.

dont worry about it. even TIPPA makes mistakes

If those Hammies are solid, looks like an upgrade on Dalgleish. Seems like a good kid too.

I loved his highlights vid. Had the ability to stop, stand still or change direction with ball in hand and make everyone around him look foolish

1.48m in…Happy Monday…

ā€œI did the warm and got pulled offā€

The perks of an AFL club I suppose…

Imagine if Tippa had ended up at Hawthorn. Actually, don’t. It’s horrifying.

Is it just me or is this guy one of the more fluent and elegant right footers going around at the club already?

His highlight videos show a simply perfect kick in my opinion.

Agreed, there has to be something wrong with him. Those highlights are really good. If it is just the ā€œI’m taking my toys and going homeā€ factor, then geez we’re on a winner here.

Can kick. Has pace and knows how to use it in a game. Just give the kid the ball and tell him to use it to attack, and to hell with disposal efficiency.

Yeah, but not any more! Will be interesting to see how his parents come across and support the Bombers. Gee, after hating us for so long how do they find the love in their hearts?

From his highlights he looks to be able to pick the right options. Doesn’t just blaze away but takes time to have a look and then hits his targets. With some time in the system he could be a fantastic pick up helping to kick start our movement from the back half.
