Opinion Non-Crows AFL 10

[BRL121]

I reckon the data is giving a misleading result with this stat. Dawson is elite at finding targets i50. Can weight the ball as good as anyone in the comp.

Nah, not from inside midlfield.

What does that even mean?

As I said in my previous post, his kicking while playing midfield has deteriorated significantly.

If you count kicks out of a pack yes, but he's still an elite kick otherwise and delivers the ball inside 50 as good as anyone in the comp.

I reckon Dawson is probably best suited to Murphy's stoppage mid role.



Basically play everywhere, follow ball, but no CBAs. Dawson has the smarts to play where he is needed depending on game situation.


Starting position wing.

Dawson is not great in the the centre break.

Our aim should be to build the midfield to the quality where this can happen.

Isn’t he the worst or one of the worst for delivering inside 50

Daniel Hoyne from Champion Data did the 10 best and 10 worst kicks inside 50. Jordan was 6th worst. Which even Hoyne'y said was a huge surprise. To the eye you'd never think that was the case. There was a quota of minimum kicks required to make the list.

Get it done, Reidy (although he will likely end up at Port)

Big pair of shoes to fill there.

At one stage during the year im sure he was the worst.

Will fit in well with port.
Would mean Houston has to go to have any collateral that Melbourne would want.

 

[Redline]

On Melbourne, I wonder if they do offload Petracca, Oliver and anyone else that wants out and rebuild quickly. I think after 2017 we were to slow to act and by the time we were ready to move players on they had little currency.

Between Petracca, Oliver, ANB, Pickett and there own picks they could end up with 6 x top 10 picks over a couple of drafts.

I wouldn't bother with Houston and guys like Petracca and Oliver are not exactly good leaders for the club at the moment.

The downside is May and Gawn and probably Viney won't play another final for them

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Bingo.

Straight sets please please please

To my eye this year his kicking has been off, sure he hits a great one occasionally but he misses ones you would think he would make in his sleep.

Gameplan? Players leading to spots they aren't meant to? He's under more pressure? Carrying an injury/fatigued?

Pembroke the latest private school to have the footy team spread around a spreadsheet grading of girls type of thing.

 

[PeterSalt]

Anyone done a welfare check on the Melbourne board?

 

[Thrillthorpe7]

Say what?

Has he left Croc Media or whatever it is called?

No, stays at SEN (actually managed by the management arm of Croc Media too)

If they could get Pickett for Houston it would be a huge get given he still has ten years ahead of him. Port supporters say they need picks in their favour and Melbourne the same so will see what happens but probably gets done in some form.

That's where the convo started. I reckon it's a misleading stat given how good he can be at picking out tricky targets i50.

 

[Rotayjay]

The only exception to this I can think of is when the Geelong/Adelaide game was cancelled, in the aftermath of the Walsh murder (in 2015). These 2 teams played 1 less game than all of the other teams in the H&A season that year.

Wasn't the default position that we would forfeit (given how little football mattered compared to what had just occurred), but Geelong agreed to share the premiership points?

The strangest stat I heard was Brenton Sanderson saying his record for inside with no score got passed Bergman this year.
57 I think it was.
Might have been no goals, but how can that happen!

No forward line?

 

[FR0GGY]

No forward line?

Yeah but 57 times in a row?

It was a joke, but at the same time doesn't completely surprise me. Port play a long bomb i50 game plan especially using players like Bergman/Houston with long legs. No system. Just got unlucky?

 

[StonesThrow]

Evans is a gun. I remember in his draft year he reminded me of Max. Why didn't he get drafted?

Is it coincidence that port have had a good win loss record since he came into their team?
