Yeah but they also put Collingwood top:
CHAMPION DATA ranks the midfields for the 2017 season.

1 Collingwood
2 GWS Giants
3 Western Bulldogs
4 Richmond
5 Sydney
6 Port Adelaide
7 St Kilda
8 Geelong
9 West Coast
10 Fremantle
11 Adelaide
12 Hawthorn
13 Essendon
14 Gold Coast
15 Brisbane Lions
16 Carlton
17 North Melbourne
18 Melbourne

I suspect we will get a big boost given the Crouch's and Greenwood's improvement in the past 12 months and the addition of Gibbs

Collingwood did have one of the best midfields in 2017. They didnt have enough on the other lines though. I reckon they were top 2 or 3. Personally I think Sydney had the best. GWS will be very strong this year as well as Sydney. Pies need Pendlebury and Wells to be fit and they will have one of the best again this year. Not confident for them that this will happen though.

Hilarious how St Kilda and West Coast are ahead of us.

 

[Pugsley]

Great decisions, Very high speed and Kicking ability.
Positions himself very well around the ground without the ball, and very courageous.
All of the above is basically what separates him from NVB. However he was a captain and 200 gamer as well. Could do worse at pick 40

Also won't return home to Sydney.

Shows how hard it is to interpret statistics in AFL. There are a lot of stats out there which are next to meaningless, yet often trumpeted as the be all and end all. The key I think is efficienct and that is extremely difficult to measure statistically. Then there's the whole defensive zoning aspects which are nigh on impossible to get much statistical read on.

I think Champion Data do a great job, but people misinterpret what they're trying to say. All they can report is what the statistics are saying. They've attempted correlate statistics with performance, but I suspect for a large part the correlations are pretty weak due to the significant number of variables that occur in AFL.

What’s wrong with having Collingwood’s midfield top?

 

[AndysOtters]

Revisiting this thread as it seems the lad is about to play his first game for us in the sanfl

 

[1990crow]

Most excitement for a pick 40 ever!

 

[crows dude]

He will have to wait another week as we have a bye in the SANFL this weekend

 

[Eagleboy2011]

So the medical staff have even stuffed up the his return. Bye unawareness.

I’m all ‘Big Kev’* about this kid.











*excited, not dead

At least he gets a week without an injury.

 

[headache1]

At least he gets a week without an injury.

Even with the bye he'll still be training under Hass, so there is plenty of opportunity for an injury.

Yep, will believe his return when I see it!

 

[Cleric]

I hope the kid can stay injury free for long enough to get a run at it.
He can play when fit, just need him fit.

Melbourne 18th LOL.

Can you just imagine the response if he breaks down this week.

 

[headache1]

I imagine it would leave our fitness department highly offended.

 

[I Lost My Keays]

I would love for him to play at some stage this year in the seniors

After zero preseason and half the year injured? No chance.

 

[Banshee23]

Keen to see this guy in action finally

 

[hey shorty]

Preempting the bad news now. Really excited to see what he offers late in the year after he gets some match fitness.

Making his debut against his SANFL club

Must be highly rated to get such an extension without an SANFL.

Good to see we're locking away all those at risk SA kids.

We've actually locked away most of our recent draftees, from here or otherwise.

Poholke, Milera, Gooch, Doedee and last year's 2 all have contracts
