and what about top 5 picks? need to increase the sample I think.

1st Round I was thinking

 

[Mav]

It is high pressure but how does that correlate to income between different fields?

AFL is show business and the coaches get a cut of that revenue. Public medical sector, emergency services will always scrapping for funding so simply can't be pay their people what they're worth in the same context.

I reckon some public bus drivers have harder jobs and probably deal with more daily stress than most AFL players. I don't see any bus drivers on $600k though.

Yep, don’t bitch and moan about the stress when youre more than adequately compensated.

 

[King Corey]

Yep, don’t b*tch and moan about the stress when youre more than adequately compensated.

Mate I can see both sides of that one. They have no right to moan about their compensation but it is a very visible, highly scrutinised job too.

Their only entitled whinge should be how much they earn vs other people (players etc) in the same sport. Would be fascinating if all key football staff were jammed into the same cap as to how coaches vs star player wages would balance up.

and what about top 5 picks? need to increase the sample I think.

From Pick 2: Jarryd Roughhead x 4, Trent Cotchin, Nigel Lappin and Brad Ottens x 3 each, Dale Thomas, Luke Ball and Chris Heffernan x 1 each (plus Matthew Primus, who could have been a premiership captain but was injured)

Pick 3 has Dutsy, Chris Masten, Xavier Ellis, Judd, Didak, Croad, Shannon Grant, Michael Prior

Pick 4 has Bontempelli, Josh J Kennedy, Scott Lucas, Leppitsch, Peter Matera

Pick 5 has Leigh Brown, Pendlebury, Buddy, Jarrad McVeigh, Luke Power

Those are just from a quick scan, I've probably missed a few.

Getting back to the point (and that you were responding to, Mordy), there's nothing particular that says that having high picks makes you a premiership contender, but there are plenty of stats that show the higher the pick, the more games they play, the more Brownlow votes they get, the sooner they get to 20 games or 50 games, the more likely they are to be All-Australian. See here: https://www.draftguru.com.au/analysis/pick-value-comparison/all-time-medians

No-one wants to finish last but it's nothing to be afraid of. The silver lining is that you will get a good player, but it takes more than one player to make you a premiership contender.

I tend to agree with kangatime
Don’t do the job if you don’t like it. There are many others that would jump at the opportunity.

No

 

[Dirty_11]

The trouble with this attitude is that out of the 40 players taken first in the draft only 4 have ever played in a premiership. Drew Banfield (1992), Des Headland (1998), Luke Hodge (2001) and Tom Boyd (2013). Banfield and Headland were just cogs in the wheel and Boyd didn't even win it for the club he was drafted to. Hodge stands alone as a player taken at pick 1 that had a real influence on his club going on to win the flag.

The system definitely rewards teams who finish lower on the ladder with better access to talent, but it's a stretch to say finishing 18th offers an advantage you can't get at 17th without the same level of indignity that comes with taking home the wooden spoon.

This is because 3/4 of the #1 picks have gone to Melbourne or Carlton.

Caution key for Roos
Herald Sun - Saturday, 10 Apr 2021 - Page 82



NORTH Melbourne coach David Noble has urged the Kangaroos to be more cautious with the ball to help protect the young team from being smashed on turnover.

The Roos have made clear their desire to develop a fast and attacking game style to help capitalise on the foot speed in the team.

But after three heavy defeats to start the season, Noble said he wanted the players to be more selective in their offensive play to avoid being sliced open on the counterattack .

He said the new man-onthe-mark rule had made teams even more vulnerable in this area. “It seems like we are coming into the corridor a lot,” Noble said.

“We have got to be attuned to adjust that at the times we have got a little bit more width in the game, then we need to probably use that.

“The man-on-the-mark rule has changed your ability to take space defensively away from the opposition, so when you turn it over, it goes quicker and you can’t defend some of those ones out of the corridor. So we have to be conscious of that.”

The Roos copped a 128-point hammering from Western Bulldogs in the Good Friday match. They will welcome back best and fairest winner Luke McDonald

“The Larkey turnaround seemed to have a bit of an impact with a young team.

“We can’t just be conditional to having things go our way all the time.

“You are in a battle, it is a territory sport. Therefore we have got to be better than having something like that totally derail us for a period of time.”

Cautious with ball ?

Does that mean back to kicking down the line every time.
