Created a ranking system to assess the young talent (24 and under) of each team. The rankings incorporate Supercoach scores, Player Ratings, and Coaches Votes across five categories.
A team finishing first in each category is awarded 18 points, second place gets 17 points, and so on, with the...
So after popular demand I'm posting here, due to the Power Rankings been banned posting in the main forum. A recent poll said 70% did want the PR on the main board but unfortunately this is not a democracy!
Anyhow, I had to post the power rankings this week due to the findings. I'm a scientist...
I only realised there was such a board so I am going to be posting betting tips here.
Round 15
GWS v Saints 330 1.9 8.5 Saints Away TAB
Dogs v Suns 230 1.92 -5.5 Dogs Home Luxbet
Dons v Dees 180 1.62 WIN Dees Away Betstar
Port v Pies 70 1.96 WIN Port Home Betstar
So I am posting the power rankings thread maybe for the last time, all depends if the mods accept it on Bigfooty. Either way I am going to post a poll for general consensus.
Secondly I am not going to be responding to any trolling. Most likely I will just put you on the ignore list. I'm happy...
Today Gold Coast still had:
Prestia, Bennell, Thompson, O'Meara, Harbrow, Martin and Broughton out. For most of the season they've had more than those numbers of players out. The question is whether they can remain fit.
Gold Coast play in the most northern part of the country and in humid...
Below are current AFL player ratings that are used to formulate predictions for the AFL Power Rankings.
When players are out through suspensions or injury, we subtract their value and add new included players value to the predicted margin.
For example, if Mitch Hallahan had to come in for Gary...
I don't have any inside information regarding whether Buddy has already made his decision to leave but offers of around $1.3 Million per year have been passed on. Not too mention that GWS could be given additional monetary support if the AFL decide to give Buddy an ambassadorial role. Obviously...
Swans do the Unthinkable
Congratulations on Sydney winning the 2012 premiership. The Swans thoroughly deserved their premiership, I can’t think of anyone in modern times who hasn't (besides Geelong in 09’) by beating the top ranked side twice this year, smashed the third ranked side at their...
Who is the real choker?
After they gave up another lead to Geelong back in round 2, this was asked of Hawthorn (1st) by Mark Maclure on AFL 360. The reason it was asked was because Hawthorn gave up a winning position of four goals in the prelim last year to Collingwood (4th) who then went on...
In the AFL, we dearly like to hold on to traditions. Traditions are part of culture and identity. We feel a comfort and security being able to hold on to these mores, as we would hate to think that one day down the track, the great game we call the AFL will be hijacked by human-like aliens in...
Can Hawthorn Lose the Premiership?
No… Maybe. Very unlikely. In fact so large is their points lead over the rest of the competition, even in the extremely unlikely occurrence that Adelaide (9th) were to beat Hawthorn (1st) in the prelim, the Hawks would still remain on top of the rankings till...
A Tragic Day – RIP John McCarthy
My condolences and my thoughts go to John McCarthy’s family, friends and teammates as they go through this very difficult time. I’m sure the club will be come together to provide any support needed and this one of the great things about the AFL community and...
Dead Rubber > Minor Premierships and Win Streaks
One must wonder what might have been for the early season premiership favourite if a few things had gone their way. After smashing it out of the blocks, Carlton (5th) was looking good until injury and a bad run of umpiring turned against them...
I'm surprised nobody has mentioned it. I know it doesn't mean anything come September but we haven't won one since we were a power-house back in 89'. In that time we've had two flags but no minor premierships; over two decades.
I feel extremely proud if the boys can take it on Friday night.
Dockers Resurface
Despite claims that I may have been on drugs, the rankings which are not my opinion and are merely just a formula which have stood up virtually all season. The last nine weeks they have yielded profits in eight of those weeks due to been able to predict more accurate margins...
Two mini-preliminaries this week
The top four ranked teams will play off against each other this week and winning this week may be enough to get them through to the Grand Final.
Sydney (3rd) vs Hawthorn (1st)
While this are the top two teams on the ladder, Sydney still rank third in the...
The Curious Case of the Adelaide Crows
It may baffle to see Adelaide (10th) drop two spots this week despite notching up another win and there is no doubt the rankings are underrating their expected performance in the home-and-away rounds, beating the power rankings predicted lines 12 times...
Who is the dark horse?
According to the rankings the premiership will be won by Hawthorn, Sydney, Collingwood or West Coast. Interestingly, Sydney will play Hawthorn, Collingwood and West Coast (who will also play Hawthorn) before the finals, so we will know a bit more then.
But could this...
Meow
The Cats (6th) move up four spots in the last two weeks, the equal most of any team this year in a two week period. The other team to move up so quickly were the Swans (2nd) back in round five when they moved from 7th (in round three) and up to 3rd.
Interestingly only the Cats, Hawks...
He is averaging 36 disposals a game this year but he's obviously not that great of a player. I think he probably leads the disposals for the last five years but there are plenty of players ahead of him.
If he is good he is certainly not elite, and if he is elite he is certainly not great...
Bombers Plummet
In what is the biggest drop of any team since the Roos (12th) dropped four spots from 8th to 12th back in round seven, Essendon (10th) drop to their lowest position of the year; the same position they were ranked back in round three.
This means the Crows (6th) move up a spot...
Money isn’t everything
The rankings may have posted profit for the third consecutive week but the bolded statement was no truer than it was this week.
You’d be forgiven to expect Richmond (8th) who had finals aspirations and needing four points and percentage to take the chocolates against...
There is a lot of drama and angst regarding Buddy out. People are worried we may have hurt our chances but on the weekend we had 14 different goalkickers, with 19 players getting on the scoreboard.
Champion Data ranked the goalkickers so far this year based on expected hit rate and accuracy...
Pie Times Carlton Squared Equals (#hatersgonnahate)
What it does mean is that the double loss to their archenemy spins us back full circle to round 3 when the Blues (4th) beat The Pies (5th) and pushed them down to the same ranking position as of this week in fifth. Many have been wondering...
Rankings vs Opinion
People continue to show their insecurities by wanting to feel relevant. They sprout their own opinion like it matters. This manifests in troll like behaviour, insults and completely ignorance. I’m not answering questions which have been reiterated ad-nauseam. If you can’t...
Not Goodes Enough
Lots of movement in the rankings this week despite only six matches; the 5.4 magnitude must have had an effect everywhere. The biggest tremor this week was felt up at the SCG. Sydney (3rd) were expected to win by a large margin against Geelong (who now move up from up a spot to...
