Hmmmm Champion Data...Make of it what you will.
After a forgettable 2020 season, the Crows were the only team in the league without an elite player heading into 2021, according to Champion Data’s ratings.
But this year they have three, bolstered by the arrival of off-season recruit Jordan Dawson from the Sydney Swans.
After struggling with his form throughout parts of 2020, 31-year-old Walker earned his elite rating coming off a 48-goal season from his 17 games. He averaged 2.8 goals (elite), 5.3 marks (above average) and 13.4 disposals (elite) a game.
Seedsman didn’t miss a match for the Crows last season and averaged 26.1 disposals a game (above average).
The Crows also have six players with an above average rating – Brodie Smith (general defender), Tom Doedee (key defender), Ben Keays (midfielder), Rory Laird (midfielder), Rory Sloane (midfielder) and Reilly O’Brien (ruck).
The Power boast the second-highest number of elite-rated players on their list in the league, but with one big omission – Brownlow medallist Ollie Wines.
In 2020, Port Adelaide had four A-graders – Robbie Gray, Charlie Dixon, Zak Butters and Steven Motlop.
That number has jumped to six, bolstered by the arrival of former Giant Jeremy Finlayson in the off-season.
Butters, Gray and Dixon retain their elite status and have been joined by All-Australian key defender Aliir, who emerged as one of the recruits of the year after his move from Sydney.
But midfield star Wines was only rated as above average by Champion Data in a season he won the Brownlow Medal, club best and fairest and All-Australian selection.
Wines was the ninth-highest rated midfielder – just outside the eight elite.
Champion Data explained the only reason he wasn’t rated elite was his ball use by foot, rating as a below average kick in 2021.
Wines was one of seven players rated as above average for the Power, also including Travis Boak, Tom Jonas and Connor Rozee.

I make nothing of it. It’s just a random set of names.

Wow, there are some really strange rankings.
The Brownlow medallist is not elite, but Finlayson is.
Richmond had a poor season by their standards, but only 1 elite player? Isn't it based on 2 years of weigted output?
Zac Williams? I must have been watching different games as thought he was ordinary this year.
Didn't see much of the Hawks but hadn't realised Dylan Moore is elite.
GWS only have 1 elite player? Whitfield not elite, but Nick Hind is? WTF?
Any ranking system that throws up Finlayson as elite is gonna have problems. Even guys like Adam Saad and Zac Williams who probably played some of their worst football in their careers at the Blues getting ranked elite is silly. There's always guys who slip through like that every year though.

Yeah absolutely. Especially if its based on the previous 2 seasons.
I could understand it if it came out after his really good 2019. 8th in goals, 3rd in AFL for goal assists. But its rather astounding that he is considered elite on his past 2 years.
According to Champion Data the Giants traded away an Elite forward for a future 3rd round pick.

I just saw Stephen Rowe with Tim Silvers and some other guy who I didn't recognise who was short, bald and looked mediterranean.
They were standing around talking out the front of the Doo Duck Inn on Exchange Place. As I walked past Rowey offered to shout them both lunch, unfortunately I didn't hear anything else that was said.
I could tell from Tim Silvers' face that he knew that I recognised who he was.

hahahahaha if I had the chance to say anything I would have said, "Don't give the SANFL another cent !!!!"
I hope Rowey was at least offering Pranzo and not the Do Duck (though they do a decent steak sandwich).

Support the outside foodies (if in the western stand)

Better still BYO or eat before/after the match.
