I'm experimenting with this metric:
Midfield Impact Factor = Goals/game + Inside 50s/game + Clearances/game
Historically this aligns reasonably well with the Brownlow and who we consider to be blue-chip:
2020: Neale (13.9 adjusted), Oliver, Martin, Dangerfield, Bontempelli
2019: Fyfe (13.1), Dangerfield, Cripps, Yeo, Shuey
2018: Mitchell (13.5), Martin, Viney, Cripps, Shuey
2017: Dangerfield (14.3), Ablett, Martin (13.9), Zorko, Sloane
2016: Dangerfield (15.7), JP Kennedy, Ablett, Cripps, Gray
2015: Fyfe (13.9), Gray, Dangerfield, JP Kennedy, Prestia
2014: Ablett (14.6), Beams, Dangerfield, Selwood, Fyfe (Priddis in 17th with 10.3)
2013: Griffen (12.8), Ablett (12.6), Dangerfield, Jack, Liberatore
2012: Dangerfield (13.0), Ablett, JP Kennedy, Selwood, Swan (Watson in 6th with 12.2)
2011: Swan (12.6), Boyd, Ablett, Selwood, Cotchin
2010: Judd (12.7), Ablett, Swan, Boyd, Selwood
2009: Judd (11.9), Chapman, Sewell, Hayes, Goodes (Ablett in 8th with 9.7)
2008: Ablett (12.0), Pavlich, Mitchell, Murphy, Judd (Cooney in 38th with 7.6)
2007: Ablett (11.1), Judd, Corey, S Thompson, Simpson (Bartel in 24th with 8.4)
2006: Judd (12.4), Goodwin, Mitchell, Hayes, McLean (Goodes in 10th with 8.7)
2005: Cousins (11.3), Akermanis, Judd, Hodge, Mitchell
2004: Judd (11.7), Ricciuto, Black, Akermanis, J Johnson
2003: Buckley (13.4), Black, Simpson, Cousins, R Harvey (Ricciuto in 11th with 9.9, Goodes in 45th with 8.0)
Thoughts on whether this one makes sense?
At the moment it looks like this for 2021:
14: Parish (14.7), Petracca (14.7)
13: Liberatore, Bontempelli, Oliver
12: Adams, Dunstan
11: Hopper, Cunnington, Neale, Wines, Dangerfield, Gresham, Keays, Steele, Macrae, Yeo, Zorko, Bolton
10: Boak, Stringer, Mundy, Laird, Kelly, Miller, Parker, O'Meara, Lyons, Naitanui, Merrett, Shiel, Martin
9: Mills, Simpkin, Shuey, Fyfe, Walsh, Z Jones, Treloar, Guthrie, Sheed, Greenwood, Davies-Uniacke, Selwood, Cripps, Taranto, Sloane, Crouch
That suggests that both Parish and Petracca are having historically great seasons, and all of Libba, Bont and Oliver would also be right up there with the best any year.
Is this a real metric or just one for supercoach?
