    Opinion Who is currently the best player in the AFL

    I think we may be at misunderstanding each other here. I do understand well how doctors make clinical decisions all the time based on evidence of different strengths. I have been doing that everyday of my working life for 40 years now. I couldnt do my work if I didnt understand that. I think...

    Time is now for the Membrey West swap. Pendles to play

    Opinion Who is currently the best player in the AFL

    First I didnt say meaningless I said statistically meaningless. I am no expert on statistics but via work have a bit of basic knowledge. Probably the best way to explain how I see AFL data is via this story I worked in Dublin years ago in a maternity hospital. There are 3 big such hospitals in...

    Opinion Who is currently the best player in the AFL

    Interesting discussion that may have devolved a bit as protagonists back against the wall. My general view on the assessment of best players is your own eyes tell you the most and listening to expert opinion and viewing data help back that up or change you mind. Knowing all the while all...

    Player Watch Charlie West

    No we pushed Miho out. Leppa said it in an interview last year. We were not expecting Howe, Sidey and Pendles all to have the 2025 they had and when it was decided they would all play on there was not enough to make Miho a reasonable offer. You could also see it in the video Miho did saying...

    Also didnt bid on Jaspa Fletcher. Rookie error.

    I see your point but i think you are being a bit too strong. Membrey to me is solid AFL, giving what he always has. I dont see his game having deteriorated greatly. What I do see is the hole Miho has left which has highlighted more that Membrey and McStay are journeymen not suited to the main...

    Again you dont seem to understand the draft. Quoting 3 1st rounders and 2 2nd rounders is pretty meaningless. Draft picks are best assessed top5 top 10, 10-20, 20-30 and so on. If you look at success of draft picks it really flattens out after the teens. Success for picks 20-40 is pretty...

    He is 18th in the comp for marks inside 50. Clearly our best in that regard. Jamie who has started slowly is way down that list. Membrey is tracking statistically cw with his career in goals, MI50 and CM. Jamie is the one who has fallen off a cliff in marking stats. 1 contested mark for the year...

    Scott Pendlebury - Standing in the game?

    I knew I left out someone. With the Dusty group.

    Trouble is you are setting Charlie up to fail. Drop say Membrey and a good 1st year and maybe a goal a game by West would see us more impotent and see Charlie learning bad habits potentially. Also we need the team that gives us best chance of success. If Charlie smashes the VFL for a while and i...

    You speak like.you think a retrospectoscope is a real instrument and Collingwood should own one but not anyone else. Your basic premise is because Geelong did really well that means Collinwood messed it up which the evidence screams is wrong. Gulden was a Sydney academy player who they matched...

    Scott Pendlebury - Standing in the game?

    Pendles is an ornament to the game and because of the way he manages time and space has been one of the players who gives extra value to the spectators. So good to watch. Longevity at a high level goes close to making him Collingwoods best ever but maybe Bucks still shades him In the modern...

    "We completely messed it up'".2020 draft. Sorry for me that analysis shows little understanding of the draft A better conclusion would be "we picked the eyes out of that draft considering the picks we had. Talent ID was top notch". If i was critical I would say we went too hard, we shouldnt...
