If we're then affording a 5-4-3-2-1 points scale to each of these categories (eg. #1 ranking equals 5 points, #2 equals 4 points, and so on), then the players would be ranked like so:
1. Tom Hawkins - 30 points (of a possible 40 points)
2. Lance Franklin - 24 points
3. Jack Darling - 21 points
4. Jack Riewoldt - 19 points
5. Ben Brown - 8 points
6. Charlie Curnow - 7 points
7. Jesse Hogan - 5 points
8. Jack Gunston / Charlie Dixon - 3 points
9. Jack Watts / Josh Jenkins / Jarryd Roughead - 1 point
Shows that Hawkins is consistent, versatile, and prolific, perhaps moreso than any other key forward this season.
Nice post an all. But that entire ranking system just has no value at all.
Being no.1 in inside 50 marks shouldn't be worth the same as being no.1 in goals.
You've also got 3 seperate stats for marks, which Hawkins is highly ranked in.
So just being good at marking gives you a maximum of 15 points while being a good goal kicker can get you 5 points max? Huh?
Also someone could be 1st by 100 goals and get the same amount of points if they were 1st by 1 goal.
The entire system proves nothing, shows nothing and makes no sense.
So no, that doesn't show that Hawkins is any of things you said he is.
