. Why bother looking at the system when it doesnt take into account the role of each players such as defenders spoiling and keeping opponents to x number of goals rather then "direct influence on the involvement of the play".
Piss poor joke of a system. Looked at the list and they had defenders in the bottom 4 clubs miles ahead of McPharlin. Sure.. an AA honour doesn't count
Oh hai gais
More likely the model they have devised pushes enough of the players the developers were expecting to see up to the top but at the cost of making a nonsensical ranking of everyone else. If score involvements are of such weighting as to significantly affect a key defenders ranking then clearly their system is floored. The fact they would defend that is not surprising however as the alternative is something along the lines of the admitting: "It's a fair cop; I admit we don't really have that deep an understanding of the game and the same applies to the senior AFL officials who approved it without spending any time to validate its logic. You've caught us out. We are all idiots and I now going to commit ritual suicide in shame. Goodbye."
How many 'points' does Dawson get when he leaves his opponent and nullifies an oncoming attack by bumping a player up the field without taking possession of the ball?
