Was about to take that seriously then I saw that St Kilda, Melb, port and Coll are ranked above the Hawks and cats LOL.

As for us, I counted 5 elite not 3.

Freeeooooooo way to blow.

I counted 3 elite and 2 very good. After that weeelllll its a mish mash of average, below average and juniors.

As for the hawks well clearly they have gone into a rebuild phase of sorts.they will struggle to make finals most likely bottom 6 imo.
Melbourne imo will make the 8 have had the talent to do it the last 2 seasons. StKilda and even Collingwood have done the hard yards recruiting lots of juniors. StKilda will challnge for the 8 Collingwood im not sure about.
I actually think the dark horse is Essendon.

I will use that list next year for all my picks for each round. It's obviously deeply thought through and based on solid insight and strong data analytics.

Next, I'll get picked up in the draft as a CHF to deal with the loss of TV.

just as likely to work out.
 
Actually, even dumber than that...Melbourne above Hawthorn when both have a score of 10. But Melbourne's is 2 elite plus 8 good and Hawthorn is 5 of each. How does that make any sense?

Even if you can accept their designations and the stupidly simple method of ranking teams that they have come up with, there are still logical problems with it. Why is this even a thing.

yep, completely mental. BUT.... I hate to say it, but it doesnt change much with a weighting. Here is an elite worth 2 i/o 1

WBD (6+13) = 25 (1)
GWS (6+11) = 23 (2)
WCE (6+8) = 20 (3)
SYD (6+7) = 19 (5)
ADL (4+10) = 18 (4)
HAW (5+5) = 15 (10)
COL (2+10) = 14 (7)
GEE (5+4) = 14 (11)
POR (3+7) = 13 (8)
STK (1+11) = 13 (6)
MEL (2+8) = 12 (9)
FRE (3+6) = 12 (12)
RIC (3+6) = 12 (13)
GC (3+5) = 11 (14)
NRF (1+6) = 8 (15)
ESS (0+7) = 7 (16)
CAR (2+3) = 7 (17)
BRI (0+3) = 3 (18)

I love how you used NRF for norf.

There are a couple of big changes that actually make it look more sensible (Hawthorn and Geelong up, Port and Melbourne down). But my main issue is that it's just a completely dumb way to rate the teams. I was coming up with more complicated ways to rate things when I was 13 and I didn't have access to the stats that Champion Data has.

For a start, what about the other players on each team's list? It's no good having 5 elite players and 10 above average players if the other 30 guys are not AFL standard. And this system gives equal weight to all the players that they have designated as elite. So Geelong gets as many points for Dangerfield as they would for whoever is the 50th best player.

It's a primary school level effort.

Champion Data (all stats really) is scrawny nerds' attempt at gaining relevance and power in the game the only way they can. They can't play it, and can't even tell you who can by using their eyes.

Not Wood actually, surprisingly, nor JJ. It was Wallis :eek: :D, Stringer, Bont, Murphy, Boyd and Dahlhaus.
Murphy, a 35-year-old recovering from an ACL, is an elite player going into 2017.

They're not even useful nerds that invent cool stuff. They just tell you what the weather was yesterday.

LOL. I'm actually a stats nerd and love ratings and stuff. I just like it done properly. AFL is the only sport I know of where a lot of the stats aren't publicly available and it sucks.
 
Rebel without a cause right here.....

Internet bad arse right here. Cross me man and i'll block you, post an interesting meme criticising you, report your post or put you on ignore.
