AFLW 2024 - Round 10 - Chat, game threads, injury lists, team lineups and more.
Didn't see much of this so called elite backman TS in the 2020 GF!!!
I don't rate AAs. I don't see enough of oppo teams to judge. I see Sydney teams on TV. I thought Taylor would've been higher in the marks stats. But RFC had Balta up there this year, Vlas is consistent enough for me. The odd brain fade but gutsy as
This 100%. why do we need to justify and find graphs /stats/ specs to make a point?
Obvious point...take the bias out of choosing so called elite backman!
Champion data vs Brownlow votes.Aint that a fact. We count up every score in a game without missing any and the one who has the most score at the end of the game wins. Reliable, objective, clear.
Is that more like:
A) tiger_tough 's "eye test"
B) beema limapep 's "because I said so"
C) Kane Corne's "best player in the game right now" "not in the top 150 players" and "Josh Daicos AA"
D) Your own "the playing part."
Or.......
E) Champion Data's method of counting all the actions of each player in each game and adding that up at the end of each game, season, career?
I wonder.
naked eye says NV and TS both great players but to me Tom has Nick by a whisker, both couragious, strong and good marks, Tom being a bit taller and quicker has him covered, plus Nick would give away 12-15 goals a season with foolish decisions or slipping and Toms you could count on one hand.......
I always gave a big Chrissy quid to the paper boy who went the extra hard yard and delivered my paper to the front door when it was raining down hard...rather than jamming half of it inside a letter box opening...leaving it to get half wet and torn from the tight fit!Thank you for actually bringing something of value to the discussion Grrr.
Say you are a Newsagent and you run a team of 44 paper boys and due to local by-laws they all have to work within a 2 hour window. I think it is an utter disgrace if I ever see a paper boy delivering after I get out of bed, on the days I can be bothered doing so. But I digress.
So you have your 44 paper boys and they all work for a year, although you may tinker with your team a little along the way, omitting certain paper boys at times for Cumberland-like performances. At the end of the year you are figuring out who to reward with higher wages.
Paper boy A says well I was in your best 3 paper boys on more days than paper boy B - in the opinion of the idiot local Police who can't even do their own job properly, let alone judge mine. And I can pedal faster than paper boy B. And I prove that I am a better person than paper boy B by sniping people, knocking them out and then it can be revealed how nice a person I am. Paper boy B merely saves endangered tigers in India and Sumatra, horrible person, who has he ever sniped?
Paper boy B says that over the whole year on average and in total I delivered more papers, presented them better, had more satisfied customers and aided and abetted your bottom line profits more than paper boy A. And that isn't in the opinion of some fools whose principle job is to do something else entirely, and they can't even do that right. That is in the opinion of experts dedicated to first keeping count of every action we undertake and then assigning values to those actions. That is their only job. And we know they are good at it, because all the major Newsagents subscribe to them at great annual expense. Also, I deliver papers where angels fear to tread. Paper boy A dead set sleeps with the light on in comparison.
Who are you going to pay more to here Grrr, paper boy A, or paper boy B?
Not sure how to respond to this, pretty subjective argument,... 'Cumberland like performance' ... and I believe you are overplaying his suspension somewhat, Basher got 4 weeks as well once. Also, paperboys let their dads do it in cars up here these days, and yes I lack imagination.Thank you for actually bringing something of value to the discussion Grrr.

My point is, they can get it wrong, but not 5 times which you have basically admitted.
Conversely, they got it WAY wrong when they named Darcy Spud-Jones ahead of Vlastuin a few years ago. AA is a nonsense imo. Vlastuin should have been named at least 3-4 times but for whatever dumb reason, he hasn’t. The guy is the glue in our backline and should be captaining the side imo.
It can be yes, but a player doesnt get selected 5 times over a supposed better player who plays the same position do they.
Edited my post to justify my thoughts. Stewart plays as a free man 99.9% of the time and gets the easy intercepts. I just don’t think he’s as great as what the media say. Good at reading the play but man on man? Who knows, he never has to play that role
His name is genuinely pre-filled on the selection sheet. Has got AA over better performers plenty of times. It's not meant to be an award for year-on-year consistency, but it seems to play out that way for certain players.
