2024 Rolling ALL-Australian Team

[RUNVS]

Tom Green & Jesse Hogan

Jesse Hogan has started the season very well.

 

[Cleansweep17]

Moore is arguably the weakest link in our team. Wish we had even 1 decent defender.

I think Maynard is your best defender. He’s ok I guess

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

At this stage the entire Geelong list are potentials.

Lingy back on the selection panel?

 

[TheUnicorn]

Rowell has been seriously impressive in these first 2 games.

 

[bradfisher14]

Serong will be there if he plays like that every week.

 

[Fadge]

Serong will be there if he plays like that every week.

He has to play like he did yesterday 'every week' to warrant an All-Australian guernsey?

 

[citizen-erased]

Weighting this considering some players have an extra game;
Vlaustin - Taylor - McGrath
D'Ambrosio - May - W.Powell
Flanders - Green - Whitfield
Perkins - Hogan - Rozee
B.Daniels - McKay - C.Brown
Gawn - Heeney - Rowell
Luke Ryan - Viney - Miller - Serong

 

[bradfisher14]

He has to play like he did yesterday 'every week' to warrant an All-Australian guernsey?

If he does, would your abacus give him a 100% chance of making it?

 

[Fadge]

If he does, would your abacus give him a 100% chance of making it?

If he plays like he did yesterday for the rest of the season, I'd almost be willing to concede his 2024 is a better season than what Daicos produced in 2023...

 

[Daka]

Hard to put together a list so early given a lot of players have had 2 very good games and some have only played once.
that's another reason I am not a fan of the way the AFL started the season.

 

[Hoops]

Lock this thread until the end of round 6.

 

[HirdsTheWord]

this is a dumb convo when teams have had played 2 games and some 1.

locked it until round 6-7

 

[Lingsface]

Powell Taylor Ryan
Stewart May Saad
Anderson Green Rozee
Heeney Cameron Petracca
Stringer Mckay Hogan

Gawn Rowell Serong

Warner Miller Curnow Ballard

Balta is a lock

Better swingman than Alexander the Great

This season will round out a 3 year period with a single Richmond AA selection.

Anti-Richmond bias!

Moore is not really any better 1v1 than Stewart.

The issue is he can be exposed more and offers not nearly as much drive, particularly right now when Collingwood are under the pump.

According to wheelo ratings:

2023: Tom Stewart lost 18% of 1v1 contests; Moore 16.4%

First time I've encountered wheelo ... pretty damn comprehensive.

 

[joe444]

And for those interested. We have a winner with Zaine Cordy

losing 60% of every 1v1 contest he's in.

Griffen Logue is the prince of key defenders for 2023 - losing 9.7% (and in a defence under serious heat)

18.8% in a poor side vs 16.4% in the best side in the comp...kicks to contests will more likely be to advantage or against tired defences in the latter. When the difference is that marginal in those circumnstances I'm comfortable with stating their 1v1 defensive ability is about the same.

The Logue finding loses value when normalised to quality of opponent.

With Stewart and Moore they peel off so it could be a scrambled attempt to match up on any opponent. Stewart gets caught on full forwards or prolific forward pockets from time to time. A 5th wheel defender consistently locking down on the 5th best opposition forward (and having less general rebound/intercepting duties) has a much lower degree of difficulty.

You'll notice a few examples like this.

New rule: you can only nominate opposition players. If your player is worthy, someone else will bring them up. THEN you can chip in.

Probably a good one to be honest. The only problem is a lot of people only watch their team play.

If that's the case, they're in no position to nominate players as they have no point of reference.

Yep. I usually watch around 4 or 5 games a round if I can, but I admit that I have blindspots as I don't see many Fremantle games for instance and it has been a while since I watched a Bulldogs or Essendon game.
