    Mega Thread VICBias - Genuine Discussion Part 3

    The advantage part as usual Krank. WC played Geel, BOTH teams travelled and BOTH teams played at an unfamiliar ground. There is no advantage to either team just a neutral game. Carl played Adelaide at AO (Adelaide's home ground), StK played Port at AO (Port's home ground). The only two teams...

    Mega Thread VICBias - Genuine Discussion Part 3

    I have been to a Gather Round, and had a great time. AFL, broadcasters and SA love the extra $$ it generates. IMHO it should not be moved, as it works perfectly in SA. It obviously gives the two SA teams an extra advantage game during H&A, and guess which teams have copped the extra...

    Mega Thread VICBias - Genuine Discussion Part 3

    It really shouldn't be that hard. During H&A, teams that have either retained a home ground or travel to find a ground advantage dominate the H&A ladder. During H&A, the teams that don't travel but play predominantly neutral games split between two venues in Melbourne have battled to have an...

    Opinion Who is currently the best player in the AFL

    What do you mean 8 of 9 correct? So far the top5 players as per player ratings in Pies games usually only 2 of the top 5 rated players according to player ratings received coaches votes. It might also suggest that Fadge ain't a Pies or Freo coach.

    Yes Meow, great that you agree that Daicos was the STAND-OUT player in the 2025 PF. 👍 How did Bont perform in his last finals game?

    Opinion Who is currently the best player in the AFL

    Yes Roby, the coaches looked at the player ratings after the 2025 PF and saw Daicos had a player rating of 26 which was almost 10 higher than the 2nd best player on the ground, and then chose to ignore the player ratings when giving their votes.

    Opinion Who is currently the best player in the AFL

    Yep. Not sure many go down this path of thinking when are who is the best player. Oh yes they were 0.015 points better, but getting worse, according to an individual tipping model assessment. Yeah but that isn't the approach taken. Wheelo just gives Anderson (our debutant) a rating of 5.7...

    Opinion Who is currently the best player in the AFL

    I don't know why you keep trying, that is the point. It took you way to long to even accept that you didn't even understand the workings of the player ratings before conceding that you had it wrong. And now you are just blabbering about "value" and again I disagree with your approach and...

    Opinion Who is currently the best player in the AFL

    It is not an individual game like baseball where you can easily judge a players individual performance through pitching and batting stats. AFL is a team game with 23 players that rotate through different roles and positions. When Daicos was a late out against the Lions, the emergency E.Allan...

    Just like all your ramblings about player ratings, I have no interest in how many ratings points you attribute to players who are yet to play a game.

    You must have missed the nuffie who went broke betting "beans" using his own made up Player Rankings. 👍

    Opinion Who is currently the best player in the AFL

    Would check who is winning some of those in 2026. The "scoreboard contribution ratings" are what player ratings are actually all about. And no issue at all with anyone rating Bont as better, he is a star and some would say the more "complete player" due to almost being able to play as a key...

    Opinion Who is currently the best player in the AFL

    Not sure what or where you think you are getting. Giving some random arbitrary value in games not played doesn't really serve any purpose at all. The best players each year are those who play majority of games. And again all the value differential stuff still comes back to the fundamental...
