I don’t suppose you would like to take this emerging shit fight elsewhere (Perth for example)?

I've been on this train of thought for a while, either I am weird or this is normal for me.
Debuts get way over exaggerated. Hore was labelled rubbish VFL depth by a few after his debut.
Hore played like rubbish VFL depth in Round 1. And from memory got dropped straight away after that performance. Has been exceptional since coming back into the side. I don't think anyone is getting carried away with Baker's debut game. If they are then they are delusional as he was probably our worst player. Like I've said before, people see what they want to see. He got caught holding the ball 3 times and only had 7 possessions. struggled to find the pace of the game, but he was playing against the reigning premiers on their home deck. I agree with some others to let Petty and Baker play a few more games. Season is over so let's see if these two can show some improvement like Hore has.

So you proved my point. Hore played one game and they thought it would define his career. Give Baker far more time to show what he can do
Holy hell, what a confusing sport. Can’t imagine there’s another one, where there is so much fundamental disagreement about how 60-70% of the players perform.
General agreement here seems to center around:
Good: Harmes, Gawn, Salem, Melk
Bad: OMac, Lewis
Everyone else
It’s very entertaining.

Harmes is fantastic.
He would now be in my top 50 in the afl. Of he can hit the scoreboard a little more, he becomes elite.
Right now, he's one of our most important players alongside gawn and Oliver.
Harmes really turned it up a notch or two the last half dozen games of 2018, and he’s continued that trend this season, adding a willingness to go for goal when the opportunity presents. I think in my season 2018 review I had him ranked as the 7th-8th best player but right now he’s either one or two with Max imo.

I’m only going nuts over Oskar because he’s a very high pick. I hate Harmes

You got me to google nh, wp. I got stuck on NH for a bit wondering what any of this had to do with New Hampshire.

I note you are watching 162 threads. This number feels excessive

I think it's 162 that I haven't read or something. Wish it would go away

I don’t understand these stats, but thanks for posting. My eyes tell me that Oliver and Brayshaw are half the players they were last season.

Digging into the why
Basically for every bounce during this game I'm taking note of your ruck, 3 inside mids and 2 wings and tallying things up at the end of the match to produce a summary of how often players started in the midfield at bounces. It isn't a deep analytical stat, but fans of teams who rotate a lot or are in a rebuilding phase seem to find it useful as a way to see how much midfield time their kids are getting vs. their vets. Some people use this as a comparison with a player's centre square clearances for the game to see how effective their players are being.
It's interesting Brayshaw wasn't used once at the centre bounce. Last year i remember him and Max being a pretty good combo in the middle. Shows that he's way out of form and the club is trying to find him a role on the field away from the middle.
