Prediction 2024 GWS Giants - Predicted best 22, breakout player(s), general player/team discussion & questions

[Giant Strides]

Taking a single stat with which to judge a player is fraught

Which stat? Both our clearance figures and the eye test is telling me that he's not connecting.

Which stat? Both our clearance figures and the eye test is telling me that he's not connecting.

I was referring to the Zerohanger, not you GS
Take his ho, clearances and tackles as a whole and he’s going well …. Not as well as last year, but he hasn’t had a stable midfield lately

Players are placed into one of six positions; general defender, key defender, midfielder, wing, general forward and key forward, with players who feature in the top 10 per cent for their position listed as 'elite'.

Champion Data's list of elite players is always extremely suspect, to say the least.

I remember the year before last when they put Jeremy Finlayson on there. They have no clue.

 

[Giant Strides]

Of course, the devil is in the detail (that we don't see), but that list isn't too bad off the eye test. Ward perhaps lucky, but his stats in the role he's been asked to play are actually good, which has got him into that list.

Tom has dropped off since the start of the year, but getting subbed out 10 minutes into a game hurts your stats.

It's not based off clues, it's literally based off stats. So if they picked some silly stats due to history, silly players end up in their lists.

 

[MelbourneGWS]

Finn has been shortlisted for the AFLPA best under 22 squad - fans will vote for the final 22 in that list, and the voting link is in the Giants article if anyone is interested in voting for Callaghan

Callaghan Named in 22Under22 Squad

Finn Callaghan has been named in the AFL Players Association 22-Under-22 squad.

[BarryAglett]

Done

 

[MelbourneGWS]

Unfortunately Callaghan missed out on the final under 22 team this year that was announced today

The representative side made up of the competition's best young guns has been selected.

FWIW it was a strong under 22 team and the competition was tough

2024 22under22 team​

FB: Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera, Mac Andrew, Darcy Wilmot
HB: Max Holmes, Josh Weddle, Colby McKercher
C: Errol Gulden, Harley Reid, Jason Horne-Francis

Yeah I can't really see who he'd replace in that midfield, it's stacked.

Maybe he could've fit onto the interchange?

As it’s fan voted it doesn’t really mean much.

Wardlaw, Massimo and even Reid didn't perform as well as Finn

 

[Capital hawk]

I would certainly take young Darcy Jones before Ginnivan or Rachelle. Not sure how many games played were required to qualify.

 

[Giant Strides]

I would certainly take young Darcy Jones before Ginnivan or Rachelle. Not sure how many games played were required to qualify.

I don't recall seeing any "minimums" published anywhere, but Darcy wasn't included in the squad list, so he wasn't an option to vote for.

The final vote is a fan vote once a squad is named; unfortunately most Victorian supporters are parochial, and worse, wouldn't view too many Giants' games so wouldn't really know the capability of guys like Callaghan and Jones.

C'est la vie.
