AFL depth charts

[m0nty]

I've had a lash at doing American-style depth charts for the AFL. The depth chart is a list of players for each real team sorted by position, and then sorted again by likelihood of playing in the next game. The reason behind doing it for the AFL is that it's handy to be able to look at who each draftee, rookie and fringe player has to beat out to get a spot in their team's 22.

I don't pretend to know the status of each and every player, so I'd like some help, particularly from fans of each team.

Adelaide depth chart
Brisbane depth chart
Carlton depth chart
Collingwood depth chart
Essendon depth chart
Fremantle depth chart
Geelong depth chart
Hawthorn depth chart
Kangaroos depth chart
Melbourne depth chart
Port Adelaide depth chart
Richmond depth chart
Sydney depth chart
St Kilda depth chart
Western Bulldogs depth chart
West Coast depth chart

I would appreciate any assistance!

[Marklar_33]

Yeah mate, top work that

Id have Jack Anthony for Collingwood also in the key forwards list, and maybe Ben Reid into the backs somewhere... not sure about the order you have the Tall backs, but good lists none the less

[swiftdog]

It's a good effort but in reality Aussie Rules players don't all necessarily play in the one position like most Gridiron players do. As an example: Davis played a lot of midfield this year, especially near the end of the season. Clarke spent most of the year at half-back, not as a tagger. O'Bree is an inside mid, not a tagger etc. Still a decent effort.

[m0nty]

The tagger category is separate to the rest, it's just an indication of who the best taggers in the team are. Of course they won't tag every game, but if there are tags to be applied, they'd be applied to opposition players in that order.

I'd change Andrew walker from key defender to midfielder either inside or outside. Move wiggo from small defender to forward either small or key. O'haiplin to key defenders and kreuzer make a ruckman as well. Grigg as small defender as well as tagger. Hartlett to key forward

Yeah, I had real trouble with the Carlton small defenders and forwards. Apart from Betts there's really not much in the small forwards.

I think Kreuzer will be tried at CHF with the recruitment of Warnock. I made all your other changes, Gozz.

You can put Ellard as a small forward, too.

[TassieSaint]

Jarryd Allen is more of a key forward than a key back for the saints, but otherwise good job

[Warwick]

Yeah good job Monty.

For Brisbane I would probably change:

Selwood to small defender/tagger.
Proud to inside mid.
Harding to outside mid.
Garner and Tyler to key defenders.

Also

Kiel has been delisted
Clouston to Key Forward...maybe some confirmation here, but pretty sure that's where he has been playing in the 1's. Pretty confident about that

yeah, i reckon that the freo list looks pretty good now, good job

[B-Bomber]

For Essendon:

Slattery is probably our No. 1 small defender. McVeigh would probably slot in there too considering he played most of his years under sheedy there.

Welsh is our No. 1 Tagger.

McPhee is more a Key forward and Chartres is delisted

Ryder is a backup ruck probably ahead of Bellchambers at the moment (depends on how our other defenders are going if we can cover Ryder down back).

Jarrod Atkinson is not a key back but a small defender more likely. Dean Dick is delisted

McVeigh is probably more an inside mid then one like Houli. Reimers also runs through the midfield (outside and inside but more outside)

Jay Nash also plays in defense (wouldn't actually call him a defender though..)

[lemmon]

Good effort for the dogs,
Callan Ward is an outside mid not small def
Tim Callan is a small def not outside mid
I'd put Mitch Hahn as a forward not a mid, either key or small
Id consider putting Murphy as a key forward
Guy OKeefe has probably jumped over Mal Lynch
Shaun Higgins as either a small forward or outside mid

[J Selwood14]

stokes is ahead of gamble
and mackie is probaly key defender and harley a small defender it think
