Analysis 2023 All Australian Team Awards Night

Averages don't really mean that much for forwards. They look at totals.

Averages though are actually a better way of doing it, with exceptions of course as a player who only played 11 games across the season can't make the AA team but it does not seem fair that a player who played 22 games makes the AA team over someone who played 18 games just because the player who played 22 games kicked more goals, even though the player who played games kicked more goals per game.

Would someone who's played 15 games, kicked 45 goals and 18 assists be more deserving than someone who played 23 games, kicked 60 goals and had 20 assists?

Yes
 
Surely Nic Newman gets in ahead of Quaynor. Beating him in every possible metric.

3 weeks ago Gawn was absolutely belted by Rowan Marshall.

Still think English is ahead

Marshall was terrific around the ground but beaten in the ruck. That hardly equates to a ''belting''.

If Max went head to head with Marshall without Grundy I think we all know what the result would have been.

But yeah, Marshall was great that day.

That's true Marshall gets beaten in the hit outs most weeks. Gawn would have beaten him there but around the ground Marshalls influence is second only to English. Gawn would have had a tough time matching him in that regard.
 
Missed a week due to lack of interest but back again

People that want Grian Miers in b4 Dustin Martin need their head read.
Martin's display today was incredible to watch.
Neither of them are in. So pretty irrelevant.
 
Goals and assists round 20:

1. Charlie Curnow 79 (67/12)
2. Taylor Walker 73 (61/12)
3. Toby Greene 67 (49/18)
4. Tom Hawkins 65 (47/18)
5. Kyle Langford 58 (40/18)
6. Jeremy Cameron 56 (44/12)
7. Nick Larkey 55 (50/5)/Joe Daniher (43/12)
9. Charlie Cameron 53 (42/11)/Aaron Naughton (37/16)
 
Current absolute locks: N Daicos, Bont, Petracca, Gulden, Curnow, Walker, Greene, Moore, English, Butters, Dawson.

Leaves 11 spots in arguably the following: 1/2 key back, 4/5 backs, 1 wing, about 4 mids, maybe 1 key forward, 3 forwards. Interesting last few round.

I'd have Taylor, Merrett, Houston, Sicily, J Daicos all on the cusp of locks
Sinclair’s has had the HB spot locked up since rd 4

7. Nick Larkey 55 (50/5)/Joe Daniher (43/12)
9. Charlie Cameron 53 (42/11)/Aaron Naughton (37/16)
Langford should have enough time to climb past the injured Hawkins and take that third tall spot but as a medium.

C.Cameron still remains in the frame. I hope they pick at least one other small forward besides Greene. Rankine would still be in my team but his injury came at an unfortunate time.
