News Chris Scott on Christensen

[Catastic82]

It could be just an offer of more money that made him move, after all Ablett and Thompson cited "personal challenges" and "personal reasons " for leaving the club.

It's all a bunch of bullshit when money gets thrown at you.

The thing with AC is he would have been on that Marngrook football show about 5 or 6 times last year ( i watched it most weeks) and i thought he was pretty impressive how he spoke - like some players would come on - and just talk about themselves - where as AC would say stuff - like Geelong - we need to do this and this to challenge for another premiership etc etc - it was allways about premierships - not bulldust - actually Bradley Hill of Hawthorn was also on a few times - and he was pretty impressive as well

No one knows what he has apparently done - like they say - theres 3 sides to any story - Yours - Theirs - And the Truth

If he has gone in a bit deep gambling - big deal - its his money - he can do what he likes with it

The only slight knock i had on him - was how he used to stage for frees ( and he was awarded plenty) when he would throw his head back when tackled on the ground- it will be interesting how Geelong supporters will view that aspect of his game next season when he will be wearing a different colour jumper

I didn't realize he was so s**t. We have a massive drop off after Enright then he's ranked 160th with only 349 points... I honestly thought he was a lot better player than that.

Actually, I'd argue that when fit Bundy was our second most important midfielder behind Selwood.

When fit he was important yes. Wouldn't go as far as to say second most important though....

Probably true lol, but I only remember him any being good around '11 when we had at least 10 better players carrying, he has been quiet ever since!

2011 was his least productive year.
He improved throughout 2012 and 2013, and even in his limited appearances in 2014.

Whilst the loss of Bundy is immense, I see a positive in Caddy further improving his game next year.

Was down at the club and told that there were 2 issues. Got a girl pregnant and gambling issues. Given he is a potential role model for the younger indigenous players the last thing the club wanted was Alan dragging new kids off to the casino. So in my view this was a decision made to protect the wellbeing of a new crop. Brisbane will have a fine time with its new breed of "characters" its recruited. ..caveat emptor

I'm guessing it's nag related and nothing to do with the place where you leave your kids in the car for 15 hours.

Depends how much faith you put in those ratings really...

These are the ratings which had Rioli as the best player in the AFL.
Enough said.
Well, not quite enough.
They are complete crap.

And when FIT, I'd put Dawson Simpson as our 3rd most important mid.

Rioli.....league's best? Hahahaha

Who the hell formulated the algorithims for those stats? Shane Crawford??

 

[Motlop Magic]

Boy, this just gets better and better, doesn't it?
I thought his Dad lived up there, his gf was dragging him away from the mother of his child in Geelong and that his....
Oh, I don't know... I've totally lost what who was doing what to whom now!

Me too

Bwuce was involved, I believe.
I think it's a handicap system, where Rioli starts with 400 points in the bank

 

[catempire]

Was Rioli really number 1 at some point? I know he made top ten (bad enough of itself).

Fred, this post is delicious.

2013 - 2014: Player Rating points per 100 minutes of game time.
(Geelong players with 20+ games in that time)

1. 17.5 - Joel Selwood (3rd in AFL)
2. 13.9 - Steve Johnson (27th)
3. 12.8 - Allen Christensen (58th)
4. 12.7 - Jimmy Bartel (66th)
5. 12.6 - Steven Motlop (69th)
6. 12.2 - George Horlin-Smith (75th)
7. 12.1 - Harry Taylor (86th)
8. 12.0 - Mathew Stokes (90th)
9. 12.0 - Mitch Duncan (93rd)
10. 11.0 - Corey Enright (136th)

Christensen is so low in the overall standings because he's only played 29 games in the past two years. Every player's last 40 games (within a two year period) count towards their score.

Thanks Champion_Data.

Heck of a loss. Particularly with his best (presumably) still to come.

Yep. And as a result he shot through... to Brisbane!
