2024 Rolling ALL-Australian Team

[WalshistheGOAT]

Would be second if gather round wasn’t fixed!

Didn't we win that game by 10? Not sure a single kick umpiring decision would have been the difference

 

[Happy Mastenator]

Does Weitering serious have a 7% 1v1 loss percentage....

Its easier to have a low loss % if you're only focused on stopping your man. Weitering is the worst by a fair way at intercepts. The rest peel of and chop up oposition attacks, but that does leave them short sometimes and out of position causing them to lose 1v1's on occasion.

I'm not to sure a loss in that situation contributes to the 1v1 percentage. But you have a point regarding the offense weitering is behind a few of his peers. A 7% loss percentage is phenomenal though.

Yes, because the umpire gave a free kick for dissent when he "wasn't sure what was actually said"

After paying a mark that was touched off the boot then rebounded of Aishs arm.
The headline from “National” footy media.
Undisciplined dockers cost win

Waterman made Pearce look like a joke.

Most things featuring Waterman end up looking like a joke.

If they get to a contest out of position because they've rolled of onto another player or rolled back onto their original oponent is it techncially a 1v1? Would imagine so.

Would think it would in that case your correct. Hopefully in team defence someone has rolled over from the fat side but I'm sure these last line defenders do occasionally get caught out playing offensively without cover.

I think this might be good reason why intercepts, SI and SL should also be considered. Weitering is behind the likes of Andrews/Taylor if considered Off+Def.

 

[Schauermann]

Pearce is behind all four in his loss % by a fair margin. He's at 26.8%, which is hardly terrible, but not to Weitering (7.1%), Taylor (11.5%), May (12.5%) or Andrews (14.3%) level. He's ahead of Weitering offensively (more SI and SL) but behind the other three.

You can mount a case of having him ahead of Weitering, but the other three are ahead.

"Alex is equal #1 shot at goal percentage AFL and Club (100%)".

But not sure about May, unless he had an out on the full he equals that.

 

[Pomsta]

Waterman made Pearce look like a joke.

Lefau did a pretty good job on him too

 

[Shueygod]

Did a number on your hapless side.

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Pearce also left a 3rd gamer in Draper to have his pants pulled down by Curnow while he took McKay and twiddled his thumbs in the goal square.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Ironic, coming from you.

Blues fans have the same carry on Tigers fans gave everyone... But have started before they've won anything.

 

[Sean_09]

Pearce also left a 3rd gamer in Draper to have his pants pulled down by Curnow while he took McKay and twiddled his thumbs in the goal square.

To be fair, McKay's been your most damaging forward this season and was in red hot form heading into that game (11 goals in3 games coming in).

Two games this year he's not had a massive impact - Melbourne & Freo.

Turns out the Freo game against Pearce is his only goalless game this season.

 

[Kreuuuzeurns]

Intercepts are for the modern day CHB. Weitering is the best FB in the comp and you wouldn’t catch him sitting on the oppositions second best forward whilst a 3rd gamer gets hammered by a Coleman Medallist. 4% better 1v1 loss rate than the next best KPD is significant. He wins more footy than Taylor and Pearce and averages a whole 0.2 less touches than Andrews, so the idea that he is only a negative stopper is silly. The only thing that might be in his way of a jacket is the games he missed early on and he wouldn’t want to miss anymore.

McKay, also Coleman medalist and when we played was arguably the Top 3 in-form players of the comp. It's a shame we were missing Cox that day but is it was it is.

Still should of won that game

 

[FreoGirl]

This reads exactly like every other Freo defender. Chip chip footy skews these metrics massively.

I actually think Clark has been AA/AA squad worthy, but half of these metrics are absolutely useless given the system Freo plays.

Intercepts, score involvements, intercept marks, one percenters, defensive half pressure acts and tackles all metrics that I'd rate higher than effective kicks, uncontested marks and effective disposals.

Mind you Clark rates fairly well on most of these anyway... He's been very good this season.

Wow such an arrogant statement - you couldn’t even remember what happened in the dying moments of the rigged victory in Adelaide

 

[TheUnicorn]

What would your AA teams look like if you could only use players 21 and under ?
Could be interesting.... I'm too lazy and scared to be criticized though

 

[HeHateMe]

Something like this maybe? Was actually pretty hard to put together

FB: Wilmot, Andrew, Mcvee
HB: Sheezel, Weddle, Wanganeen-Milera
C: D'Ambrosio, Wardlaw, Soligo
HF: Reid, Cadman, Humphrey
FF: Owens, Amiss, Dempsey
Foll: Darcy, Daicos, Horne-Francis
Int: Callaghan, Ginbey, Macdonald, Rachele

 

[HeHateMe]

Regarding Hawthorn recent run of form who would be the players in contention for a spot in the squad at this stage?

Moore is the obvious one as a small forward.
D'Ambrosio as a wing option?
Day is interesting one missed 6 games already but his impact since returning has been huge.
Meek was probably shaping as a ruck option before missing the last 2.
Newcombe was in the squad last year and is probably a touch off that form so far this year, Worpel in similar form as well.
Sicily has a good stat line offensively but has struggled defending at times this season so is a little ways back in the pack.

Just interesting when you consider we are 6-2 since Rd 6 and have only lost to Sydney and Port. Moore is the only one I have at this stage well and he is a very good chance at the team, but if the form some how maintains for the 2nd half of the year surly a few more start getting a look in.

 

[SSSSSS]

Massimo won't get any plaudits. Wingers rarely do.

Has been an excellent pick up though and easily one of the best wingmen in the comp in 2024.
