A harmless piece really but one of the most pointless articles I have ever seen. Just summarises the skills of each player and reallocated them to different teams in no particular order, with no explanation as to needs or why they would be better than who they got. How could we have got Rayner and Cerra for example?

Honestly, anyone here could have come up with a better premise for an article.

It's sort of unfortunate either way, isn't it?
When you're seen as having a vendetta, you're just doing it wrong. Pity.

I am reading a book on trading psychology. Just finished a chapter on how traders look for things to validate their position and block out signals that tell them to exit trades. Ignoring the signs can be super costly. I guess most people are a bit guilty of some confirmation bias. I mean, that's half the reason some of us hang out on here.

Why mention this? Well, I feel that sports journos (and journos in general) are getting lazier and are starting with a headline or point to prove and then selectively finding facts to serve their argument. I just wish that sports journos would look at all the available facts first and then reach the appropriate conclusions.

Pretty sick of the media's shoot first, ask questions later approach.

To be sure of hitting the target: shoot first and whatever you hit, call it ‘the target’.

Confirmation bias is a self correcting 'fault' in a trading house - they get sacked.
(since you are interested ferris - you have long short capability in trading so confirmation bias can be hedged)
Confirmation bias in journalists is not a self correcting fault.

but then journalists get paid exactly what hey are worth - not much.

Other teams are out there playing finals and planning to win premierships - our members are sitting at home being 'outraged' over the colour of our away jumper..............

‘Tis a shit jumper though ...

Charlie a shoe-in for CHF.

I couldn't squeeze Fish into my team (he was close to a bench spot), but he's eligible for 22under22 for another two seasons and I'm confident he'll make it in. Such an exciting talent. Love the Prince of York!

It was all on one page with no rankings when they first put it up.

Soccer teams change designs for home and away kits every year.

I don’t see why we should be locked into a design for any more than 1 season

I also find the attachment to particular designs in AFL very strange. Not that it's wrong or silly, just very different to the major soccer leagues where teams have traditionally had all sorts of funky colours and designs for away strips.

I liked the yellow.

Bit telling, really, that there's one Richmond player in that list, and it's Dan Butler.

Something to be said for letting players develop instead of hanging them out to dry after three years...

Middle men: Your team's centre-square stars

Players used 25 Blues have attended a centre bounce in 2018.

Ruckmen
2018 ruck attendances (top two): Matthew Kreuzer (228), Matthew Lobbe (96)
Centre square hit-outs per game (minimum five games): Andrew Phillips (8.6)
Centre square hit-outs to advantage differential (team): -0.5 (10th)

Onballers
Most common ruck-rover combination: Matthew Kreuzer-Patrick Cripps (23)
Most used midfielder (midfielder who attends most centre bounces): Patrick Cripps (464)
Centre clearances won (team differential): +0.8 (third)
Centre clearance king (minimum five games): Patrick Cripps (3)

ANALYSIS: It's all about Patrick Cripps. The Blues are the third-best centre clearance team in the competition this season, mainly on the back of Cripps' excellence. He has attended 464 centre bounces this year, clearly the most of anyone at the Blues. The impact of Zac Fisher has been particularly surprising, with the youngster recording a positive clearance differential of 9.6 per cent. It's the best of anyone at Carlton with more than 100 centre bounce attendances this season. Of the seven Carlton players to attend more than 100 centre bounces this year, four are 21 years of age or younger. – Riley Beveridge

Nice.
