NM?

So far on top he couldn't fit them in the window.

 

[Joao]

It's an algorithm:
Draw: Number of games v top 4 and bottom 4 in 2019 compared to 2018
Trade: Number of elite, A and B grade players traded in and traded out AND the number of close games the club had which might have been decided by the presence/ absence of these players
Injury: I've just edited my original post to also account for injuries vs league average, which has shuffled the top 8 order a little

How do you define "A" and "B" grade players though?

Something against Ross Lyon?

 

[Lsta062]

Thanks for this. We definitely choked for parts of the game with missed set shots in the second and third quarters but honestly for the first forty five minutes I liked what we were trying to accomplish, breaking lines and trying to get our way through their defensive structure with risky plays. Just basic handball errors let us down and West Coast being the premiership side they ended up being pounced on these turnovers like every great team does. Credit to the Eagles for forcing us to play in such a risky way for such an inexperienced side, because they were picking off everything going long.

If they played again I don’t think the margin would have been so big. Melbourne’s forward line and midfield is really good so it is quite rare for them to be kept quiet like that for a quarter.

 

[Rod Stroker]

Couldn't handle the finals heat? Handled "the heat" against Hawthorn and Geelong quite comfortably the first two weeks of the finals.

People are seriously overrating the Eagles game, Melbourne played poorly and the Eagles punished them but it's just one game.

It was more than just one game. It was your biggest game of the year, and you got blown apart.

 

[Rod Stroker]

I believe they improved more this off season than North did by getting Shiel plus the return of Daniher.

Daniher still isn't training, and yeah Shiel > Polec + Hall + Tyson

 

[Trav 20]

It was more than just one game. It was your biggest game of the year, and you got blown apart.

Yeah, we had a bad one.

That can happen to young teams interstate with 13 players under 100 games. Half of West Coast's team had played 150 games (11) compared to our 5.

North's round 23 team that beat Sydney had 9 players under 100 games and just one under 50. They were on average 18 months older than our prelim team with 21 games more experienced.

I think we're tracking nicely.

[Alwaysacrow]

We obviously won’t make finals, but don’t think Gold Coast are going to be anywhere near as bad as people seem to think we will be, provided we can keep our list healthy. There was a point last season where we had only 1 listed player left in the reserves (scrimshaw) and we still finished 2 games clear of Carlton. Brand new coaching staff and S&C coaches ought to help as well

I hope so. Please finish above Carlton. In fact to every other team in the comp; please finish above Carlton.

Reality is that North had one of the easiest fixtures and Essendon had one of the most difficult, yet we finished only percentage below you. Same wins.

North double ups:

Sydney
Bulldogs
St Kilda
Brisbane
Gold Coast

3 of the bottom 4 teams. No top 4 team

Essendon double ups:

Richmond
Collingwood
Hawthorn
Port
Fremantle

3 of the top 4 teams. No bottom 4 team

Not to mention that we played the likes of GWS and West Coast away while you played them both in Tassie.

Not hard to see why Essendon is rated higher than North now that the fixture is likely to balance out.

Too much hype about Essendon who haven’t proven squat! December champions.
North will finish higher than them like most years!

Honestly will lol if North win the flag after Gaff turned them down. He'd have missed two flags in two years.

Yeah safe bet he won't have to worry about North winning a flag any time soon.

With the dogs and tigers winning it, and the eagles who won this year despite expected not to make finals, who's to say they cant?

They might, they might not. You won't know unless you factor in injuries and development. At this stage, Essendon have the better list and therefore are rated higher for a reason.

Wait so what have Essendon proved to be a premiership contender? I thought they were meant to win this year? Why are people overrating them? Am i missing something?
