Not necessarily that he takes points from Dunkley but that he becomes their second best midfielder in terms of clearances, possessions, goals etc. Dunkley may still score from his tackles and around the ground spread but I suspect Ashcroft to be their highest possession midfielder next year and...

I think he can go completely past McLuggage and Dunkley to be their second most prominent midfielder.

My observation is they seem to be umpiring AFLW in a way that leads to the most free flowing product possible. I.e they will let off ball stuff go if the ball is in play because they have enough stoppages as it is.

Wtf my team is only worth $17.5m haha ranked 600 odd

Ugh, teams coming out 5 minutes before the games kicked off really ****ed me. Don't know why we have team announcements only the night before the game. With Beatty out I should have forgone the forward upgrade and grabbed Sheerin in defence. Instead reverting my trades and with Sheerin no...

I do think we are particular malnourished in terms of commentating ability since Commetti exited though. I mean look to the EPL and some of the absolutely iconic monologues their commentators put out that earn second lives as memes, voice overs or inspirational quotes due to how impassioned...

I'd love for you to get a source for me as I'm pretty sure that is wayyyyy over what it was.

I think that was long ago, potentially the Martin year, and I don't think it was asmuch as 20% above the Cap, If i recall it was only the difference between the minimum cap threshold (which i think is 95%) and the equivalent amount up. I.e 95 vs 105% of the cap. It's still crazy to me that a...

When the fk are the teams out for tomorrow nights' game.

Other positions may be more impactful on their day, the key forwards big bag absolutely wins a game, as does the silky outside mid / half forward who has a couple of clearances leading to goals, a couple himself and is effective transitioning the ball through the midfield. The issue is, those...

The fact that Bontempelli and the mastery of his 'deft taps' really makes him a step above the rest of the competition.

Love this.

Media talk about lots of clubs being interested in him maybe? I.e maybe St Kilda / Geelong aren't as into him as the media talks. Might be he's doing some medicals but no certainty to land at either. Either way, he's gone from the Blues and we're not getting anything.

The point of the coaches vote and the Brownlow is to identify who played the best, the umpires and the coaches are both doing that, from slightly different perspectives. You are correct, a coach may not reward a stat stuffer who was hacking the ball forward against the gameplan (and we'd all...

Why is that?

Out of a possible 600 or so options, yes I would say that the list sharing over 50% of the same players, including the top 2 being top 2 in both metrics is pretty representative. Plus in the context of the whining of "the Brownlow doesn't reflect forwards or defenders enough" the entirety of...

AFL Coaches Votes top 10: Daicos, Cripps, Heeney, Serong, Neale, Bontempelli, Gulden, Merrett, Warner, Butters Brownlow top 10: Cripps, Daicos, Butters, Serong, Heeney, Green, Treloar, Gulden, Rowell Pretty close.

Supercoach is fantasy land makey-uppy, topsey-turvey rubbish.

Exactly, that's all related in the 'needs' aspect.

Am I the only one who really isn't excited about Houston. Yes good player, and i'm sure i'll get up and about when we land him and when we see him in Navy Blue, but not an area of need for us.

Two down, one up this week to bank 270k to close out the midfield next week. Will likely grab Gardiner next week for her DGW and think about upgrading her to Garner after the DGW's end.

Below analysis stolen from this reddit post: For those taking the "Coaches should vote the Brownlow approach", terms out Cripps was equally as respected by those coaches with only two anomalous voted games, which contributed 4 of his 45 votes. It really wasn't that unusual. Turns out whatever...

Everyone in here complains that goals aren't rewarded enough for the key forwards in the brownlow and the example is "oh Walsh's 40 is worth more than 23 and 2" pick a side people.

AFLCA award list was almost identical to the Brownlow...

YellowFeathers for one.

The coaches are as biased as the Umpires mate. Macrae gave Daicos 5 when he was no where near it to secure the AFLCA award for him.

No one's done that for three or four years

How many of them polled more than Sam Walsh. Two? And that's with Walsh missing 5 games this year.

Baffles me that people can hate on a man like Patrick Cripps, one of the most genuine blokes you could find, great leader, excellent player and good at the tough stuff, plus does some super speccy things also to top it off. Just shows you how fn brain dead some footy fans can be because he plays...

He didn't deserve the AA so that checks out
