I find it a bit misleading personally. Champion data doesn't actually classify players until they have played 10 games in the past two years, so players like stocker, setterfield, Gibbons, Lobbe (maybe I can't 100% remember), and another one or two others that are rated poor (I think it was 5 of the 8), wouldn't actually be classified as such. If we remove that, there is actually only one more player in below average-poor, than there is in above average-elite. Fix that and suddenly you can write the same article except skewed positively.I know this is not the right thread and not sure if it has already been brought up.
But it does respond to the North performance.
There is a large spread article on the Blues in 'Herald Sun" today. The article talks about the Blues dirty dozen.
12 points why we are where we are at. Uses alot of Champion data in the analysis.
Anyway I thought it was very insightful and pretty much on the money.
Have a read if you get a chance. Interested in your thoughts?
Go Blues

Edit - technically Docherty is still rated above average (maybe elite ?), So why not chuck him in too

Yes last two years.How far back does Champion Data take into account? 2 years?
We know we were horrible last year, lots of injury issues and even those who were playing didn't look fit.
Might look quite different if looking at this year alone.
And what about Walsh who hasn't played 10 games.
Agree 100%. Love the stats they come out with, not so much the apparent results of said stats.Champion Data is incredibly over rated. Their raw data is fantastic but their conclusions are absolute rubbish.
Under selling him here. They also made it very clear that all the positives were his doing whilst blaming all the negatives as a hangover on the tanking days.They paid him to be a steady hand with excellent media relationships to restore Melbourne’s standing in the game. They weren’t paying him to coach. All the other coaches there were doing the oppo scouting etc. mostly he got in the way of developing their game plan and insisted they be Uber defensive when the other coaches wanted the team to be more expansive.

Then god ******* help us. Walls wouldn’t know his arse from his elbow..GS is right Wall’s was put in to satisfy the baying of some powerful wolves. Bolton nor MLG were happy. It’s taken 4 month for Walls to get to grips with modern footy dept. guessing he’ll start to make some calls soon.
Everyone is welcome to their opinion of course. However Robert Walls is a bona-fide legend of our club, premiership player and coach. Respectfully Bolton is neither of those things.Then god ******* help us. Walls wouldn’t know his arse from his elbow..
We have two options, Bolton or Tassie.
Fair point mate and understood. My point was Walls is long out of touch with what brings success in modern football.Everyone is welcome to their opinion of course. However Robert Walls is a bona-fide legend of our club, premiership player and coach. Respectfully Bolton is neither of those things.
Of course he wouldnt have a clue.Then god ******* help us. Walls wouldn’t know his arse from his elbow..

EFA .........Champion Data is 110% overrated?
Of course he wouldnt have a clue.
Thats exactly why he was coach at 4 clubs and with a premiership to his name.
Thats why he was high in football journalism and commentary and analysis for yonks.
That I can believe. Me too. Its ridiculous actually. Far too much money being paid to lucky people that work in what has become a massively over staffed entertainment industry.Can’t remember the exact quote but Walls has had to come to grips with getting his head around a vastly changed footy dept since he last coached. The other thing was that he was positive about Bolton’s coaching ability, sticking fat has been reflected in the Judd/Mathesion commentary this week. This was all coming from BT so who knows what connections he has.
I really liked Pittonet as a junior. He hasn't come on at all at Hawthorn.Naismith is 26 for one and Pittonet hasn’t impressed me when played
Thats pretty awful for a bloke with his abilityGibbs had 13 disposals on the weekend at 69% disposal efficiency.
10 of those disposals were uncontested.
When Adelaide get a few more players back, his spot might come under pressure again.
This.Vague statements regarding obvious realities do not a bluemour make.
What else you got?
Then god ******* help us. Walls wouldn’t know his arse from his elbow..
We have two options, Bolton or Tassie.
but what about 'that' and the 'other thing' ?This.
Terrific and wise post in my humble opinion.I have no data to back this up, but I reckon Walls did a mountain of work for the young Bears, who became the 3xLions under Mathews
I believe Walls loves the club.
I don't believe he has any desire to coach again.
I think he just wants us to be great again.
Being the boss is a lonely place. To question yourself constantly is expected. When things are tough, to have someone to vent/talk to is a godsend.
It is almost comprehensible when teams have an off week as long as they are winning consistently in between these rare off games ...I don’t think this applies to us ... we have off weeks after consistent defeats ...Just recovered from digesting Sundays tragedy. Trying so hard to put a positive spin on things. Hoping the sky hasn't fallen in by tomorrow (looks like it has in Mildura though this arvo). Serious soul searching has revealed something that may perk a few of you up a bit....
2016 - Western Bulldogs get trounced by Geelong Rd 23 (43 - 100)
2017 - Richmond get pole-axed by Adelaide (64 - 140) and by St Kilda (71 - 138)
2018 - West Coast rolled by Kangas (41 - 81) and restricted to 1 goal in a half!!
Pretty sure these teams didn't let a shellacking (or 2) totally derail their season.......in their PREMIERSHIP season.
A week ago, I was pretty upbeat about the growth/development/progress of the Blues this season.
I for one am not letting that nightmare dictate what can still be a positive season. Just a big blip on the 2019 radar.
The season rolls on and I am looking ahead to the remaining 15-odd games of improvement and challenges, and an amazing 2020!!
That's when the show really begins, and I want Bolts to be a part of those brighter days.
