He has had a big impact in 6 of the 7 games. It's time to start to take the blinkers off.

JZ is a big reason we are top of the ladder undefeated!!! He is in my team. Consistently in the best players is exactly what the AA is about.
On the weekend had a field day for the other team with a huge 6 clangers from his 19 kicks. Also went at just over 50% efficiency and barely had an I50 that actually hit someone yet he still got coaches votes, clearly scott has a chubby for him.

So how does Selwood, Viney and Shuey avoid and Clanger criticism?
 
I am sure you could. It's more to do with the fact you have a poor understanding of the game.

But put you AA team up. Make sure none have clangers!!! Lol
Which of cunnington, reiwoldt, Goldstein, Mongtana and personally I thought atley was next but also NDS, Swallow and petrie were better.
 
So how does Selwood, Viney and Shuey avoid and Clanger criticism?
Because they selwood and viney get loads more clearances, and CP's and shuey is far more damaging in that a lot of his passes are onto the chests of key forwards which Ziebell cant do. You cant get in the AA team with a disposal average of 23 as a mid unless you either have an elite kick or average 2 goals a game.

So with Shueys 6 kicks on the weekend how much damage did he do? How many chests did he hit? What does the stats tell you?
 
FB Shaw Davis Gibson
HB Laird Rance Boyd
C Hannerby Parker Reiwodlt (C)
RK Gawn Dangerfeld Selwood (VC)
HF Bruest Franklin Zorko
FF Waite Lynch Betts

IC Gunstan Ward Mitchell enright

next in line: shuey, goldstein
 
Can't be arsed making a team but my locks so far.

Gawn, Parker, Mitchell, Dangerfield, Selwood, Shaw, Buddy.

Barring injury I think all of these blokes will feature in the side at the end of the year. Only iffy one is Gawn but he is by far and away the best ruck in the league right now (possibly the best player).
 
Cunners and Roo only. The coaches got it right stat man. Watch the game and see what he does.
Atley was immense for you guys and he definitely played better. I thought Thompson also deserved a mention and Mongtana was great. Ziebell would have been about 8th maybe not even in norths top 5.
So with Shueys 6 kicks on the weekend how much damage did he do? How many chests did he hit? What does the stats tell you?
I'm not denying shuey had a bad game and it puts him out of the conversation for now however he got a hard tag, can you tell me the last time Ziebell had one of those?

So you honestly think your understanding of the game is better than Scott and Richardson?

Did I say that? I think that coaches can have favourites and Ziebell is obviously one of Scott's favourites as he isn't having as good a year as his CA votes suggests.
 
He is 5th in the coaches votes. You have to be consistently good for the coaches to continue to rate you in the best 5 players on the ground. Lynch, Parker, Dangerfield and Viney have also been consistently good.

It's amazing Goldy hasn't been at his best and still has had a very good year.
Tom Hawkins didn't get a single coaches vote last week against Gold Coast. Would you have had him in your top 5 players from that game (career high disposals, 4 goals and 140 ranking points)?

AFLCA votes are a decent guide but there is still bias and unfairness in the votes, and you cannot use them as the sole indicator. Gawn has clearly had a better season than Goldstein to this point yet doesn't feature in the top 10, while Goldstein is 5th.

I didn't see the Cats game.

So who misses from the top 10?

I'd have a few mids ahead of Rory Sloane and Ziebell at this point - Hannebery, Ward at bare minimum, Zaharakis, J.P.Kennedy also pushing their claims. Unfortunately Hannebery, Ward and Kennedy suffer from playing in teams surrounded by vote-stealing talent and Zaharakis is playing for the wooden spooners.

I also don't think Viney has been the 4th best player so far this year, but he's been good so I won't argue that too much.
