Vintage Bay Mofra's Bottom 50 for 2019 - Now featuring the bottom 5 Arnott's biscuits

[The Cryptkeeper]

I'm bitterly disappointed you didn't include Trent Cotchin in your bottom 50. Missed opportunity. I thought he was a lock after averaging fewer than 20 disposals per game, kicking just 3 goals over the entire season and finishing 19th in the Richmond best and fairest.

Only 14 disposals vs Geelong in the Prelim Final and just 15 disposals vs GWS in the GF

Probably the most useless Grand Final skipper since Bruce Monteath in 1980

He's really become more of a club mascot than a true premiership captain. A bit like McDonald-Tipungwuti. Although Tippa made more of an impact than Cotch in 2019

Nah, Cotchin is a genuine hard man of the AFL and a great captain.

Hmmn. Seems someones a bit upset over Cotch taking the mantle as the best captain this century. Understandable, he makes Hodge look like a schoolboy.

I can’t like this GIF enough.

Well played sir. Well played.

Very proud that Melbourne had more entries in the bottom 50 than wins for the season.

Bottom fifty equation:

Bf = e/w

Where
bf = bottom fifty entries
E = expectations
W = wins

Melbourne had high expectations and low wins so a high bf number.

Lions the reverse

As it should be

So Geelong should have had 0.75 of a player in the 50?

Congratulations - Brisbane couldn’t even achieve that feat when they were shit. You actually got noticed!

You played a lot of kids during your down years. That 20 game rule saved a lot of players

There are 50 players in the bottom 50 and 18 clubs.

Geelong's wins to expectations quotient was probably about average for all clubs.

They finished/performed about where people expected.

They should have 2.8 players in there .

Pipe down flog.

Cotchin is a fine captain but Hodge is different class.

No they didn't
They were widely predicted to drop off a bit and finish around 12-10

True, and then a lot of them became shit players for other clubs

ok. my memory doesnt go back to march 2019

in that case they should only have 1.5 players in there...

Melbourne 4 or 5

Does Rohan count as the .5? Or is that rating him too highly?

Ah, the old "I have no recollection"
Just like the Tuggers weren't Prem favourite in March 2018
Got it

He only played 0.5 of a season
You'll have to ask Mofra to check his Al Gore Rhythm

It's the constitution, it's Mabo, it's the vibe of the thing.

I’m a little confused by this. When did the lions stops being shit? I think the Finals Series proved beyond doubt little has changed at the Gabba.

I know this is the Bay and all, but losing to GWS in the semi by less than a goal doesn't deserve such a rating.

Yeah, they were three wins and approx 100 points off winning the flag. Hardly screams “no longer shit” don’t you reckon?

You wouldn’t be here saying that if we’d remembered our kicking boots in the finals, too bad we flogged you in every other stat except the one that counted the most.. next...
