Player Watch Jordan Dawson - Our New Captain!

[FR0GGY]

Seeing the title why he picked the crows over port, imagine him running around in there midfield at the moment, no idea if port would have had the capital to get JHF the following year but that would be insane.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

On the Couch showed stats tonight that Dawson's numbers are significantly better against top 8 sides than those outside the top 8.

He's a big game player.

 

[Scorpus]

By this guy's rankings, Dawson is the 7th best kick of the top 50 most kicks.



Hinge is 33rd and Smith only ranks at 42/50 with a clearly negative ranking

He's a gun.

I look forward to seeing how he goes with a finals quality midfield

Interesting data, with retention rating and then kicking efficiency, they seem to have very little correlation but give the impression they should be similar.
I think a lot of people have doubts about kicking efficiency data.
Hinge and Dawson taking the most dangerous ( threat rating) kicks, which looks about right
This shows how important Dawson is to the team
Smith not taking the dangerous kicks and not retaining possession, Just trying to be a metres gained, bomb it long player
It would be good if the afl showed the retention rating data

I think the number of defenders and lack of forwards indicates that data is still severely flawed.

So only 24 players in the afl have positive ratings?

Are we trading him?

Well played sir

Surely should be sorted by threat rating? That is the more important stat.

 

[Scorpus]

It's just the top 50 players in terms of total kicks

 

[Scorpus]

It's important but if you have high threat kicks that are not retained it's a bit pointless.

 

[Rory Walkerfield]

Isn’t it inferred that it’s retained? As a threat kick results in a score

 

[Rory Walkerfield]

Further - Merrett threat rating is negative. Does that mean that whilst his kicks are retained, he probably puts team mates under pressure or into a position where the opposition are more likely to score.

 

[Scorpus]

Isn’t it inferred that it’s retained? As a threat kick results in a score

I think it's a general rating of how likely a kick taken from one position on the field to another position results in a score. So there's no inference of retention; a player that's a worse kick is less likely to nail a high threat kick

Time to bump this thread to congratulate our skipper for making the AA team this year.

Every year the trade looks better and better.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Would be interesting to compare his numbers against top 8 sides v rest... as appears to lift against better opposition.

AA well deserved.

 

[BACCS]

Could be starting midfielder and captain of the AA team at some point in the years to come, absolutely the first of many AAs

Had to get in. They got this right. You don’t have the no 1 scoring team in the league without a midfielder kicking the thing in there with quality Delivery. J Dawson. Our captain and trade steal.

Not super noteworthy, but skip is now #1 in the comp for I50’s per game. For context, our next best is Rankine in 60th place

God help our ball movement if we didn’t have this bloke

Pretty impressive considering he had a down start to the year. He's really only gotten going in the last month or so.

How much better did we look in the last quarter when we had Dawson, Rankine & Soligo as our main players around the ball...

Dawson did his utmost to win the game when it was on the line.

Thankfully he was smart enough to just get a score on the board when we were one point down.

It always shits me how players will try to somehow pinpoint a mark for goal in a F50 filled with 40 players, when they're one point down with a minute to go. Just tie up the score first! You can then clog up the exit and try to get a second point for the win.

I'd say any stat whereby the alternative is apocalyptic qualifies as pretty noteworthy.

To be fair, it wasn't as if his numbers weren't really down to start the season, he was just burning it terribly by foot - but was still getting the inside 50 entries. His class just starting to show again.
