Seems to me to be put together by someone that doesn’t want to be accountable for winning flags. Suspiciously avoiding it. No doubt the KPI’s are designed around the strategy
The Captain playing his 150th game? The new recruits?
FFS now Woosha is trolling me.
This train of thought will send you broke.
I watched red come up 24 times in a row at the roulette wheel at Adelaide casino once.

Me too. Maybe not that many but a good 12 or so. You’d be crazy to bet on that happening though.
That is an irrelevant although mathematically correct observation.
The point is, the probability of not getting a tail in 6 consecutive events, is very low but it happens, albeit rarely.
Let me ask you how many permutations have no tails in six events?
The answer
1 in 64 or 1.6%
Every other permutation fails
Yeah just like Roger Federer, the only way to win is to be a complete Azzhole !!!
Hang on, he is actually a gentleman and a really great player who accepts defeat graciously. Then goes on to improve and win.
Come to think of it, most of the cut throat azzhole players aren’t liked and most people don’t want to associate with them.
Perhaps winning at any cost isn’t good when it’s achieved without honour.

Just realised I know something about this.
Mrs Wim has four industry gold medals for financial reports including one that was top 5 (nationally, with a few other countries as well).
Yes, there’s facts and figures and budgets and how many meetings the board attended, but they absolutely benchmark themselves on their core business too.
It’s not an afterthought, and it is very much the place for it.
There’s a competition for such things?

Does she habitually include the words “Win a flag” on the front cover?

Nah.
Pretty pictures go on the cover.

Where did I say we had to be horrible humans? We just need to change our focus. Federer might be a nice person but he certainly doesn’t go easy on his opponent nor does he relax when he has an easier opponent. While I do think Essendon needs to stop worrying about having eveyone like them it doesn’t mean everyone will hate us. I want other clubs to respect us and fear us for the way we play uncompromising fair and tough footy.

It’s not even mathematically correct.
You can only get 6 straight heads in one way hence the 1/( 2^6 ). Or any other single combination - HTHTHT etc.
But you can get 3 heads and 3 tails in multiple different ways: HHHTTT, HHTTTH, HTTTHH etc.
So, given it’s a report on a year which has already concluded, they should give it a bit of Liberal Party “we’ve already won the flag in the future” ?
Or just leave it all blank.

I’d be surprised if it didn’t have forecasts.
But sure, blank or pretending works too, I guess.
What purpose would it actually serve?
(I shouldn’t need to point out that the financial people write and release this in October, just after delistings: prior to drafts, prior to trades, prior to pre-season).
