    Do Collingwood need to enter a rebuild phase?

    Nah you battle there. The fact is Ned Long forced his way into the Pies midfield rotation in 2025, of which Pendles was still a part of. And in Rd 0 against the Saints our main midfielders were Daicos, Long, Perryman and McReery with cameos from DeGoey at bounces. We are reducing our reliance...

    Good players sure - great elite players are usually in coaches votes if they play well. Is that your interpretation? You can just focus on matches polled votes if you like to add more nuance. Which notes last year that he polled in the same number of games as N.Anderson, but usually an inferior...

    Do Collingwood need to enter a rebuild phase?

    I think you are confusing disagreement with the concept of rebuilding. Good teams are looking to constantly evolve their list to contend. Perhaps. Does that mean the "smart" thing to do is to trade out senior players for picks, embrace being bottom 4 for about 5 years and hope they "contend"...

    Do Collingwood need to enter a rebuild phase?

    What do you mean the way of the Pies fans? The point is we have been rebuilding our list, and will continue to do so. We only have 13 players on the 2026 list who were on our list of 40 from 2021. So in 2030 will again probably only have 10-15 of the current squad still on the list. Do we...

    Yes the coaches each assess who they think the best 5 players were for each game. Sure you can be the 10th best player for every game and not get any votes, so it isn't a way of comparing average players. However the really good players, they are consistently getting coaches votes. Being the...

    A nice pivot from ad hom to strawman. Smart to change it up. 👍

    It is great that you now understand that score equity ratings aka player ratings are influenced by game styles and team scoring. Perhaps you can suggest another topic that you struggle with, so can be provided with additional useful targeted information.

    Great that some of us can educate you. 👍 Unfortunately, can't say the same, as your "ad hom" posting offers nothing of value.

    Another ad hom post contributing nothing to the discussion but instead going the poster(s). Standard.

    If you adopt a Malcolm Blight Geelong style shootout game where happy to win kicking 20+ goals whilst letting opponents score 18 it should be obvious that BOTH teams had players who were involved in heaps of scoring, and so ALL players would get large score equity ratings. But what outcome is...

    If your were interested in data about driving outcomes - winning games of footy - obviously the context of game style is important. Anyone surprised that in Rd0 Brisbane Lions player ratings total points were more than 30 higher than Collingwood, despite Brisbane losing and Pies winning...

    The bigger issue is the overall team ratings. 2025 week 1 finals Pies beat Adelaide by 24 in a low scoring defensive game, the team PlaYer Ratings total was 215 and we kept Adelaide to just 185. Meanwhile GWS lost a high scoring final against Hawks by 19, but they still ended up with higher...

    Dunkley is like our Perryman (but better), the defensive star. But speaking of Brisbane, is anyone surprised that back in 2021 when Brisbane were the highest scoring team that they had a better team rating than Melbourne and 10 of the best 14 players from Brisbane n Melbourne were Lions players...

    In 2024 Carlton were a higher rated team compared to Premiership winning Brisbane. Carlton had 4 of the best 5 rated players between the two clubs, and 12 of best 20 rated players were also Baggers. Carlton were another high scoring poor defensive team filled with great players according to...

    In 2015, Freo were a low scoring minor premier and Pies were a high scoring avg team who won just 10 games and finished 12th. Anyone surprised that Pies team rating was higher than Freo, or that the Pies had 17 of the best 25 players between Freo and Pies according to Player Ratings? But yes...
