They got laughed at because they used to just drop a list of the top 20 XYZ in the league and duck out. Zero context. They at least go to some effort to explain things now.Like many in footy analysis, they get laughed at when they’re negative about the hawks and lauded when they’re positive.
FWIW they’re super smart guys who talk about the game intelligently and are able to back everything they say up with data. Data can’t measure everything in footy though and it doesn’t always get the nuances and feel of the game hence throwing up some head scratchers from time to time. But all in all a positive, and particularly Hoyne is good to listen to.
They had Worpel rated as the number 2 player in the game behind Heeney for this season (at least up until the Gold Coast game). Even with the explanation of why I wasn't accepting that, even though Worpel has been very, very good.
