Hai gaiz

Had me bucks last night so will be in a vegetative state for quite some time and haven't caught up with current affairs

Let me know when Sheldrick gets picked up by North.

There's someone in this world who can tolerate you enough to marry you? Geez.

 

[Dark Sharks]

Up before midday? Didn't go hard enough.

Oh contraire, i never went to bed

Congratulations DS - there’s hope for us all!

Seriously one of the finest in joke posts we've ever had. The board has officially sucked up into its own ass.

Eh, I'm not worried. If we keep going we'll come out the other side again.

My dearest...


In the absence of Keys I went down for a trundle this morning to check them out on return. Just a few random notes I took down...

- A lot of running work again, clearly a focus even in the heat.
- Duggan looked on and was hitting targets left and right. Set for a huge 2017....

Boring az bat s**t....

 

[THE A5]

Not a good look for Clark. Don't sign the contract if you don't want to do the time. TK handled it much better.

I wonder what we'd have to package up with Brander to pinch Clark from Freo? Although, he's coming across like a bit of a brat. Whateley is a Cats man so who knows what his angle is here. Slimy f***er.

Wow. Wtf. I haven't even been on BF today. This is really creepy. I did make this post weeks ago.

 

[Matera92]

Surely there's a way to get Masten to Dark Sharks wedding.

You broke the laws of time and space... for that.

Time to delist these list fillers...

Don't forget to invite Dean Margetts

 

[ghostbat12]

I guess you are an insider by the sound of it. So you think Allen and Brander had the same coaches and development opportunities? But doesn't every player get a medal or it would not be fair?

Not insider but development programme worked for Allen. So poor development can’t be used as an excuse. At end of day it’s up to him to develop himself to bypass Allen, darling etc for KPP role.

To be honest, he could have also had waterman’s third tall role. He is bigger, faster and more mobile. Waterman also played at times on wing. And yet waterman was preferred.

I'm home sick, so as you do, I thought why not try do a list analysis.


Approach
The approach I used was to:
- give all our players a rating
- use an age/performance curve to forecast how player's ratings will change in the next couple of years
- feed the info into charts to show how we look in the next couple of years

No doubt no one will have the same view on ratings, or on the curve I used. But that probably isn't the point. More just to see what we need on our list in a couple of years.


Summary of what I think we need
We have 8 spare spots. Assuming that we fill 7 of them this off-season, my take from the charts is that we need:
- 1 young tall defender
- 1 young tall forward
- 1 mature-age ruck
- 1 young small/medium defender
- 3 mids


Charts

Notes:
- the dots on each players line is their age and rating in July of 2022, 2023 and 2024.
- the shaded red bit is just to try and show the likelihood that players will drop off or retire
- I've probably made mistakes like forgetting someone or having someone twice or something. I'll try to edit if needed.
