As I pointed out in the Reilly thread, last year Thompson had 40% more clangers and 30% more frees against than ANY other player in the league. He had 115 clangers, 33 more than the next best "Clanger King" (Kieran Jack), who "only" had 82. He conceded 61 frees - the next worst player (Franklin) only gave away 47.

These aren't "league worst" on a "clanger per disposal" or "free per disposal" basis, but they would count heavily in the AFL's ratings calculations.

Which would tend to highlight how shit it is as a ranking system. Nobody who has watched a game of AFL football in the past two years would come to the conclusion that Colin Sylvia is a better football player than Scott Thompson.

I'm not trying to justify the ranking system. I'm just trying to explain how Thompson could have such a low rating, in direct contrast to his real standing in the game.

Oh yeah, I get that. It just beggars belief that a rating system could be as bad as this. I don't know why they even bothered.

Here's how you'd rank it

You're picking a team and you have to choose Thommo or Sylvia first....... GO

Apologies in advance to Bicks for stealing his thunder, but thank you professor.
 
Another huge game by Danger today, if not for a certain red head would have another 3 votes in the Charlie, am very interested in next week now, 2 weeks without a 'hard' tag, you can bet Clint Jones will ride him at every contest, sending him forward seems a great way to break the tag, Bookies would be reeling him in for the Brownlow :thumbsu:

Will be interesting.

I think he has 7 votes so far this year from the first 7 games. Have him having 2 votes in the Brissy game, 2 today and 3 against Hawthorn.

Not out of the Brownlow, but think that there are a fair few ahead of him in the Charlie race (Watson/Ablett/Swan/Mitchell/Pendles/Swallow/Cotchin).... Still - his form over the past 2 weeks has been fantastic.... Lets hope he keeps it up against the Saints.
