Hey, how is old Grimey?

Hey, how is old Grimey?

Old enough to be delisted from the club that he was captain of 5 years earlier....
Must be 36 or 37.

Another trade game up for anyone interested. https://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/post-draft-trade-game.1152646/

 

[schmuttt]

3rd in clearance differential and 5th in CP differential in 2016, but nah we have the worst midfield in the league guys

Collingwood and Richmong top 4

Clearly champion data puts a premium on one way running

 

[PerfectFooty]

yup, saw all the hate for this on Facebook. HS was quick to produce the tripe into an article. It's ranking points seem rather dumb. It tosses and throws whoever it wants into categories such as elite and average, then produces bullshit statistics. i wouldn't rate lewis, Jones or Viney as average. If you ask me champion data is a shitty people vote made by people behind desks. it's like a crap brownlow. throw some tags and produce some statistics. I still don't know why people put so much trust in champion data. Statistics are always iffy anyway

Just another popularity contest, expect big clubs and the AFL's favorites to be at the top as always. while we get shafted to last as always

 

[Ando727]

Collingwood? Seriously, best midfield? All credibility lost with that one line. GWS will smoke them in the midfield.

 

[KickLongTackleHard]

Obviously does not include ruckman in that midfield assessment.

 

[Topkent]

You always think your teams better than it is but their is no way Carlton or GC or Geelong have a better midfield than us

 

[Sprout]

What a truly absurd list.

Jack Crisp ranked above Jack Viney Great system, CD.

 

[Ando727]

This bullshit is why I take no interest in all the stats counting during games. At best, all it can do is confirm what you are already seeing, at worst, it's highly misleading. The only stats I care about are goals and behinds (ok, maybe hitouts since they became so much fun after Max started dominating) The rest I can pick up from the general vibe of the game I'm watching with my own eyeballs.

How is that possible? CD is usually on the money, but sheesh...

 

[booshboy]

Champion Data is the biggest load of bullshit.

 

[LeverPuller]

Your Honour, to open my argument I would like to present Queen's Birthday, 2016...

 

[schmuttt]

Geelong you can make an argument for but we definitely have at least a top 8 midfield.

 

[LeverPuller]

The problem is that it's a two-year statistical analysis. Players like Trac and Oliver only have a year under their belt. JV missed a chunk of '15 too. Even Nath was down in '15 because of his neck. Whereas Crisp, Treloar, Adams all played the full 2 years. They are all about sample size at CD so that will have a big impact.

 

[dees arent rabble]

This team gives me a stiffy. Bring on the season

Yeah - lets see where we rank at the end of 2017

 

[Proper Gander]

Every other day I initially read the title of this thread as General MFC Depression. I really hope this changes in 2017.

 

[Bluelegs]

Collingwood the new Richmond for pre-season hype.

Yeah but the main guy at champion data Glen Luff that is always on melbourne is a massive, massive fan of the Dees. Makes this even more suprising

As striker said having Viney, Oliver, Brayshaw, Petracca miss a heap of footy in the last 2 Years doesn't help and Tyson and Jones were down last year

I'd say it's an anomaly, no judge would say we have the worst midfield in the afl, in fact it might even be in the best 6 next year

Yeah that's what I figured. I didn't even bother being even briefly affronted on this one because I truly don't think any sane, non-trolling neutral would agree Melbourne has the worst midfield in the comp.
