Draft By Stats (Mainly)

[Keystone agony]

This will be different to any other thread in that it will feature a heavy reliance on reading stats and determining rank mainly from that

 

[Keystone agony]

Qtr 1 impresses (Only considering draftable players - no UAgers)

And this is without looking at stats so far


SA most impressive

#6 (clear best prospect right now)
# 30 or #38 Tall
#21 (small fwd so wouldve had none, but has some smarts there)

WA
GeorgeG (Best prospect for me right now)

22 TBrown (Under radar - really like)

BVR been good in the ruck

Steed racked up but undersized for what he is

#21 showed something H.Wilson

WA - Some serious underagers. Artemis and Axel

 

[Keystone agony]

SA lifted with

19
22
25
18
12
21 (My man) having an impact that qtr


Im yet to notice Kodah Edwards, well aware who he is

WA
Steed continues (but small for onball, needs to show fwd ability, i dont think hes a Kozzie, Butters, Errol type) - so needs something else

20 showed something
5 is who i missed 1st qtr

WA v SA

1. George Gale (Top 5-10 pick based on other drafts and what ive seen plus stats)

2. Harvey Crocker
3. Heath Mellody
4. Jake Eime
5. Memphis Webb
5a. Lucas Robinson
6. Jack Gordon
7. BVR
8. Gabriel Patterson (Redbull Robbo 2)
9 Fynn Tomasini
10. Heath Wilson
11. Kodah Edwards (disappointing, but have to give a mulligan, his stats suggest so much more)
12. H.Banfield
13. Tom Brown WA
14. Leo Steed
15. C.Florence
16. A.Long*

* Is he older /Not fully convinced. Late at best at this stage

My early draft order from the 1 game. Dont think i missed anyone. Some underwhelming SAs Herbert (why not main ruck?), Hampton (terrible)

Is this not what the champion data guy did at North ie you would just draft midfielders exclusively if you are using stats.

No,

He also drafted P.Spicer and E.Ford (Neither had 35 every wk disposal stats - far from it)

Mark is a stat
Height is a stat
Score involvments is a stat
CP is a stat
i50 is a stat
Age is a stat
Goals is a stat
Score shots is a stat
Balls won front half v back half is a stat

Hope you get my drift

I back myself to having football knowledge, so you need to put it with that and thats where stats can be beneficial. There is also limited stats

What im saying is i like everyone else in here doesnt have the ability or feasability to fly around australia watching these kids as much as AFL clubs do. I believe stats used correctly can produce a pretty good order


Fwiw i attended the local WA v SA game live at the ground, but ive not seen much outside of that and thats where stats will play a part. I will watch the champ games and late WAFL colts, that would be it
