Analysis 2017 Non-Crows Discussion Thread - Part V for Vendetta

[Jenkins4]

There used to be a poster here named Alexisonfire. A thread was started with claims that Alexisonfire had passed away in real life. It turned out to be bogus. It seems that some think you are the second coming of Alexisonfire. I had a problem with the bloke, as despite his name, he didn't like the band or their music.

Oh never heard of them. My style of music starts and stops with Whitney, Mariah, Katy Perry and Beyoncé.

Like I tried to say before, I’m a 36 year old single mum with a 6 year old who just loves the Crows.

Wanted, sponsorship where we will do the "heavy lifting" if you are keen on getting Australian Government approval to purchase significant quantity of land.

For all you pants wetters out there - roll the tapes.

A Crows v Power Showdown grand final is on the cards in 2018, according to Champion Data
A HISTORIC Showdown grand final is on the cards in 2018, with Champion Data rating Port Adelaide and Adelaide’s player lists in the top three in the AFL.

After an in-depth analysis of every club, the league's official number cruncher has ranked the Power’s reconstructed list at No. 2 and the grand finalist Crows at No. 3. Under the formula, Sydney, which lost its first six games last season before storming home to finish fifth, has the strongest list. Port, which just missed the top four at the end of the minor round last season before falling to seventh after suffering a heartbreaking extra-time loss to West Coast in the elimination final at Adelaide Oval, is poised to make a quantum leap after reloading in the off-season, according to Champion.

Champion believes Port has the star power to contend for next year's flag, rating 16 of its players as elite or above average for their position. This is the second-best number in the league, behind only the Swans, with 17. Six Power players are rated as elite (in the top 10 per cent in the competition) for their position — triple club champion Robbie Gray, All-Australian ruckman Paddy Ryder, leading goalkicker Charlie Dixon, swingman Justin Westhoff, captain Travis Boak and silky-skilled playmaker Chad Wingard. Another 10 are rated as above average (top 35 per cent) for their position — recruits Motlop and Watts, midfielders Ollie Wines and Jared Polec, forwards Sam Gray and Jake Neade and defenders Tom Jonas, Hamish Hartlett, Matthew Broadbent and Jasper Pittard. The annual ratings are based on a two-year period, with a 75 per cent weighting given to 2017.

The Crows sit equal-sixth when it comes to elite and above-average players, with 11, the same as Geelong and Essendon. Adelaide is considered to have great high-end talent, with pocket rocket Eddie Betts and fellow forwards Tom Lynch and Taylor Walker ranked as elite for their positions, along with defenders Rory Laird and Brodie Smith and midfielder Rory Sloane. Smith will miss most of next season following reconstructive knee surgery. Ruckman Sam Jacobs, defender Daniel Talia, on-ballers Matt Crouch and Rory Atkins and forward Josh Jenkins are the Crows rated as above average.

Do people really do that?

Sounds boring. I mean, I don't like my neighbors and want to spend tie with them.

We live in a cul de sac
Only 10 houses
Only one neighbour is despised and is not invited

We party on the street opposite his house

He's a campaigner
And no number of Christmases is going to change that

The rest are good - it's the one time we all get together for a couple of hours. Most of us have spare keys to each others houses.

And several times neighbours have helped out some of the kids as they were growing up with the usual teenage dramas.

Nice street
Except for the ****

I read 16 and almost fell off my chair. Damn can’t believe we missed out on Jack ‘duck me head so I won’t get hit’ Watts (so strange Melbourne couldn’t wait to get rid of him) and Steven ‘can’t reach my potential’ Motlop.

Doesn't champion data rate players over 2 years? So injured players like Fyfe or Cripps are underrated.

There is some truth that Port have lots of top end talent, but we have better lower end talent & depth.

However, I can't understand under what metric Neade & Sam Gray are above average small forwards.

Their half back flankers got plenty of the ball, particularly against the weaker opposition which they belted last year with a softer draw. Their draw has probably helped inflate their players a little.

10 of their 14 wins last year were against the bottom 6 sides.
According to Janus 2017 was stage 5 of a 6 stage total Australian rules football domination where they will win the 2018 Grand Final more emphatically than the Geelong v Port Powers 119 point debacle. #legsfeedthewolf
