Opinion Non-Crows AFL 9

[jenny61_99]

The biggest issue I have with the Brownlow is that it’s exclusively a midfielders award.

How you fix that, I have no idea.

Otherwise known as the "Accumulator" award.

Glad Frampton is getting a run this week. wish him well.

Happens in a lot of sports. The NFL MVP is dominated by quarterbacks. Do keepers win the ballon 'Or?

In team sports there tend to be positions that are more important than other positions. The best of those players tends to win the award. It kind of is what it is.

I'm happy he's no longer on our list, but I also wish him well - though I also hope Brisbane flog the Pies.

The only other position that could realistically win is a forward, and they probably don't do enough to get votes

Only twice in the last decade has a player kicked more than 70 goals to win the Coleman. Curnow this year kicked 78

However of his games he only kicked more than 3 goals on 6 occasions. He polled votes in all of those games, but 0 votes in any of the others. Even if he scored 1 vote for all the games he kicked 3 goals, he still wouldn't have won (would have been equal 7th on 24 votes)

Tex kicked more than 3 on 8 occasions, and polled in 6 of those games. The two non polling games he kicked 4 goals.

It's pretty fair that the three best midfielders on the ground might poll higher than a forward that gets three goals.

What's harder and more impactful - 4 goals, or 25 disposals? 3 goals? 2?
I'd take a player who averages 3 goals a game over someone who averages 25 disposals every day.

Speaking of the Brownlow, did anyone see Butters arriving in his Limo?

I think you would but the Brownlow is not an award for consistently being good. A forward who kicks 3 goals could be the 4th or 5th best player on the ground that day and poll 0 votes.

To win it you need several best on ground performances which just isn't going to happen for a forward that averages 3 goals a game but only kicks a bag a handful of times.

30 touches off half back. 10 intercept marks. 8 score involvements. Rotates between pantsing Hipwood and Daniher.

Make it happen big Bill!

Rance and Houli are the reason Richmond beat us in 2017. Killed our forward line, and set up their attacks.

Neither won the NS. Houli should have.


Frampton would need an all time blinder to win it.

As long as you don’t pick him back up in the PSD do what you like

If you do pick him in the psd all hell will rain down

I believe he can choose which draft he enters, main draft or PSD. Once you go into the draft you have to go wherever someone picks you up. I doubt he would go into the PSD, he could end up at the Eagles.

There isn't any bad blood between McKay and the club as far as I am aware, I am not expecting any drama. We just made it pretty clear what we intend to do, and I am assuming Bombers weren't asleep at the wheel when they got band 1 compo for Daniher.

Was it that fat idiot Davies that said last week it'll be easier to get done cause he's out of contract lol

Also so much fuss over an ordinary player.

So could they introduce a best defender and best forward award?

No need to televise it though, it's boring enough as it is!

Just Geelong being arrogant w@nkers, and trying to extract the most out of the deal.

If he was so valuable he'd be playing every game, which he didn't.

I'm sick of Geelong thinking they can do whatever they want and everyone just has to bend over for them.

I had Houli as my Norm

But you don’t get to know what the compensation will be if the player walks. That’s the part in question.

However we all know how the AFL works. Since you’re a Victorian club they’ll no doubt tell you on the sly at a Docklands cafe, and it’ll be another first round priority pick donation from the league.

It is my understanding that any club can request an indication by the AFL as to the potential compensation after the player accepts that free agency contract and it is lodged with the AFL. That is subject to change if there is other free agency movement. They just wont tell clubs before contracts are lodged as they don't want people to game the system.

Aren’t North asking to know before contracts are lodge me and therefore trying to game the system?

 

[GameofSloanes]

The talk about us not getting any help while North are getting refurnished with priority picks …

Which team would you rather be right now?

You can be the team that has been so bad over the last few seasons that everyone thinks they should fold … that hold another bunch of low draft picks.

Or you can be the team most likely to jump from missing the finals into the eight in 2024 … with one of the most exciting young lists in the comp.

Careful what you wish for.

The team going into the 8 but with free low draft picks of course......

Butters not winning the Brownlow was like icing on the Power cake of 2023.

No, we are saying we will match a bid that isn't band one. Nobody knows what is band one, but clubs have been able to guess around the mark, ie Daniher. Swans were confident that they would be able to get band one compensation had McKay chosen them.

But if you only find out after lodging the paperwork, don’t you have to commit to match/not match before knowing the compo? Or do you find out after Essendon have lodged?
