Strategy Who are the best 5 assets in the afl?

[Marcel Proust]

I've seen this done for basketball and it's quite interesting to compare factors like how good a player is. Age. Contract. Etc.

For example giannis is the best player (officially) yet is on an expiring contract. With no sure option he will stay - if you disregard his megaphone comments at black life's matter events.

I wasn't sure which board the question best sits but the poll section the number of options seems overwhelming

Rowell would be somewhere near the top? If he gave you a wink he would hang around long term?

I am not sure how you can do this when contracts don't get made public, and what gets reported by the standard AFL 'journalist' is almost definitely wrong all the time.

Cause we dont know but we have a pretty good idea.

For example buddy is on like 10 mill

Interesting idea for a thread.

Loads of data to base your assessment on here: Live Spreadsheet - Contract end dates, free agents & other stats for every AFL player

Grundy and Whitfield have 7 years on their contracts for example. Similar age, similar experience. But one is a ruckman, and a good one of those is rare.

We do know if they're restricted free agents or not though, and that is based on their salary information. So there's something to go off, even if it's not total transparency.

yeah, he isnt a good asset.

I wasn't trying to be a smart ass I was trying answer.

We know roughly what Rowell Walsh. Martin. Others?? Are on and will get

But I agree it's be more professional if it wasn't a secret like basketball. Soccer.

Dangerfield reportedly moved back for under $800k, he would be on $400k-$500k a year less than Fyfe and Martin as an example.

He'd be right up there.

 

[TheBoss]

Rowell

Rowell

Who is number 2 ?

Interesting; wrong side of 30 but has hardly missed a game and is top caliber

Rowell, Rozee, Walsh

Older players don't rate a mention in comparison.

I agree in principle, but could argue you want runs on the board as well.

Cripps, Bont, Kelly would be high

Key position players as well as they are harder to find, probably not really any young stand out talls that are proven at this stage though.

Yeah I'll give those 3 too.

I actually forgot Cripps. Awful of me. Bont I was borderline on age.

I think Grundy is most valuable player in the league but maybe doesn’t have the best value contract.

Tim Kelly would be right up there, I imagine WCE got a pretty good deal on his contract. Likewise Lachie Neale given how much he’s step up since going to Brisbane.

I thought Brisbane paid through the nose for Charlie Cameron....I was dead wrong. He might have one of the best contracts.

Key forward is tough. It might be Ben Brown. At least profile wise he’s underrated.

 

[Sentinel]

Yeah I'll give those 3 too.

Bont is 8 months younger than Cripps.

 

[Inside Bull]

Bont is 8 months younger than Cripps.

Yeah those 3 were all from the same draft

 

[PAFC_1870]

Bont is 8 months younger than Cripps.

My bad... he's obviously had a career already most would happily retire with

 

[Marcel Proust]

Rowell, Rozee, Walsh

Idk

I think dusty would be fairly high on the list

Walsh has questionable upside

Rozee possible a bit flaky to be considered amount the top.

Contract length comes into it I think

 

[Elmer_Judd]

Biased but I think Jacob Weitering has to be part if this conversation if he can maintain his form for rest of the season .

 

[iBeng]

Whatever we are paying Berry, McCluggage and Lyons is probably well under what they would get elsewhere based on current form.

How many assets do the Crows have?

 

[HairyO]

Rowell

Top 5 in the AFL after 4 games? 3 of them against mediocre at best opponents? Really?

Top five 'assets' yeah

You'd want a wink he was happy to stay long term
