Hi BigFooty Draft Afficionados!
There's obviously plenty of great threads by BF draft experts showing their rankings, preferences and assessments on many of the prospective players who are eligible for the 2022 National Draft which are an awesome resource for the rest of us to dive into and comment on.
I thought it might be a nice addition to the mix to create a simple way for BF fans to also participate in and contribute to a form of 'crowdsourced player power ranking' so I've created a simple Wikisurvey that does just that.
If you go to this link Who is the better prospect for the 2022 AFL National Draft? you'll see a page (there's an image below to show what I mean) which asks you the question "Who is the better prospect for the 2022 AFL National Draft?" and then it serves up two random players from a pre-populated list of around 40 players**. You simply select the player that you think is the better prospect; that result is logged and you can then exit or you can do the exercise again with two more random players. It's not assessing club needs or like-for-like (e.g. KPF) comparisons but a simple 'power ranking' methodology as generated by the BigFooty crowd.
It literally takes seconds and with a starting list of 40 players there's more than 1500 combinations of player-pairs that you can theoretically rank so you can play around for as little or as long as you like.
Obviously as with any 'wisdom of the crowds' type thing the output rankings are only as good as the volume and quality of the inputs so hopefully we can get a decent level of responses from all of BF draft watchers with opinions to share. You can see the results as they emerge here and if we do get a meaningful amount of votes then I'll share it back here periodically as well.
Thanks and happy ranking! [Reminder go here to cast your votes.]
**I'll drop the starting list of players in a subsequent post so you can see who's there but remember you can't control which pair of players you get to vote on. If there's a notable player that I've missed please let me know and I'll add them to the list - you can also submit suggestions on the survey site.
