Opinion Elite Potential on our List

[DERO]

The 1988 game against Melbourne might’ve been Simon Madden’s 300th if that rings a bell. He took 13 marks that day, first game back after a year out!

It is interesting because I only ever got to one Windy Hill game and coincidentally it was against West Coast but I think it may have been a loss. I also remember Simon Madden taking a screamer that day.

Looking forward to seeing if young Caddy winds up being the high tier contested mark that he looks like.

I have no doubt he will be a competent CHF at worst.

Elite potential?
Caddy
Kako
Martin
Durham
Caldwell


...Tsatas?
Two years ago I'd have said Redders but he fell off.

 

[Agronomus]

Tsatas is going to be elite (do I have to say "in my opinion"?) even though he can't laser a ball 50m. He'll be the one taking the ball forward not sideways like Parish

IDK how credible these rating are, but according to draftguru this is where we are at.

Jye Menzie is not a C+.

In my un-biased opinion.

Without a description of how they grade players it's all pretty meaningless.

Good God, your worse than me and that's saying something

I totally agree, but I'm bored, and there's not much chatting going on over the offseason (I even visited Bomber Blitz ) . So here, have some more random BS that holds zero value!





2024
Brisbane

A+ 1
A 3
B+ 5
B 4






2023
Collingwood

A+ 0
A 3
B+ 5
B 11






2022
Geelong

A+ 2
A 2
B+ 5
B 11






2021
Melbourne

A+ 1
A 2
B+ 2
B 15







So, from this tiny, meaningless pool, you need the following to win a flag

A+ x 1
A x 2.5
B+ x 4.25
B x 10.25


In 2024 we had the following

A+ x 1 ✓
A x 0 X
B+ x 5 ✓
B x 11 ✓




Does this mean that if a couple of our players improve and find themselves rated A or A+, we are within reach of Premiership glory? Absolutely not! We don’t really understand how these grades are determined, and many more data points and teams need to be evaluated to give this any validity.

Obviously, football is much more complicated than this. I'm just trying to liven things up around here for my own entertainment.

A sneaky A+ for Nick Cox.

The credibility of this rating list is ruined by equating Menzie to Duursma.

 

[ant555]

Jye Menzie is not a C+.

Of course he isn't. Easily a B-

Hey it’s not so bad

That is really our problem in a nutshell .

Someone likes big Cox

 

[Happyskeret]

I actually always considered TD more consistent taking the contested marks whereas Vander was more spectacular and able to take them out of nowhere. TD was just solid and difficult to out-position. Big Rodger isn’t to be underestimated either for his contested marking back in that era.

The fact that Vander was that good with no training and no preparation was mind boggling!! TD on the other hand trained his arse off. I know TD was a great role model for Jimmy H on How he prepared himself for a match.

 

[IHurley]

A sneaky A+ for Nick Cox.

The credibility of this rating list is ruined by equating Menzie to Duursma.

Ridley and Caldwell are B+ and Duursma should be higher but other than that it's pretty fair.

Just a shocking lack of genuine stars to come from 20 years of recruiting.

He could be the one that goes to that next level. Showed glimpses last year.

Good mark but lets be honest he had no pressure . Yes it was a good read by him to get separation but he got a clean run at the footy. Not that I do not rate him but it was just a run up and jump on someone mark.

He’s hardly just a hard-working player who gets the best out of average physical traits, which is what we’re reading around these parts

His all-round attributes are there for all to see. I just hope the belief is beginning to manifest for him.
