Past #8: Daniel Wells - joins Collingwood as a FA - North get pick #32 as compensation

[discomute]

I have read it 69 times and still don't get it.

Really? Seems simple to me.

If you take the 5 sides that each team played twice, and have a look at their win percentage.

We played Saints, Bulldogs, Sydney, Hawthorn and Adelaide. Wins: 12+15+17+17+16 = 77. Total of 110 games for 5 sides. 110/77 = a winning percentage of 70%

 

[dus]

Actually the teams we played twice, they won 70% of their games.

Eg. Our draw was hard (tm TT)

I think.

 

[Nutjob]

The 70% must include the first time we played the team as well. Our winning rate the second time around sure as hell wasn't 70%.

Well if a Nutjob can understand it then it must make sense !!!

Pretty sure this is right. Just saying we had a tough draw.

Good explanation

My explanations were bad in retrospect although they made sense in my head

Yeah thats right.

The ladder I posted is basically a ranking of the strength of the opposition that the various teams played twice.

It clearly shows that North faced much tougher opponents in those 5 extra games than anybody else in the AFL (daylight 2nd).

Freo also suffered a difficult fixture based on this analysis with another decent gap to 3rd.

I know Brad Scott has a lot of haters especially this year however when you take into account this data along with what turned out to be a pretty bad run on the injury front perhaps there are some mitigating circumstances.

And only teams with easy draws and no injuries win finals or more than 3 of their last 13 games...

Next time just say our draw was hard.

Nobody likes factual information backed up by well researched stats to support an argument.

Atleast no one on this forum anyway.

If wells leave its for the betterment of our club in the long run.
He'd play max 2 years then we get nothing- if he leaves we get a potentially top 20 player for a potential 10yrs

 

[DarkPhoenix]

If as reported Collingwood are offering 3x$600k take the compo and run for the hills.

No way is he playing a full 3 seasons at any club.

 

[chubbspeterson]

That tackle by franklin on Motlop running in the inside 50 showed he would just fit perfectly into our side.

Pass.

To be truly accurate Motlop should've fumbled the handpass he received, then he'd fit in with our midfield.

...yeh good.

But remind me what this has to to do with Wells?

 

[Roozee]

Waiting for the news on Wells.......

 

[SonofSamsquanch]

Bumping the thread. Its been over 12 hours and nothing. That can only be bad, surely (or good, depending on your point of view)?

 

[tiltraise]

If Wellsy is dressed in black and white tonight would it be considered foreshadowing?

 

[naturally north]

We aint upping our fair offer, Wells it would seem isn't going to back down. So......

That's great to hear.

I'd be livid if we rolled over to mercenary tactics for a rising 32yo who is near finished.

We're better off without Wells, Dal and Boomer going forward, all one-way footballers who don't like it when the going gets tough.

 

[Rooboy 96]

Well Done Daniel, leading Brownlow vote getter for NMFC, great effort.













Does that move his value from 19 to 12?

 

[theboyfrombalga]

Yeh i wouldn't mention the Doc around here

The Doc's done more good for North than just about anyone and still attends most matches. Yes he had some views that differed from most in terms of relocation, but that's not to say he should be forgotten about like Elliot was at Carlton.

I agree.

He got us up and going in the 70s....sure a lot of anger re his pov on GC is all I am saying.

 

[osaka mick]

Was Wells at the Chaz Brownlow last night? Was he on a Nth table, or as a guest somewhere else?
