Nothing personal Y-J. (Though, perhaps it was a bit rough tagging you. Apologies.)

It's just a gentle reminder to us all that fantasy points don't actually mean that much.
Definitely worth posting when the side that just lost a grand final by 15 goals had the top 3 in AF points.
No offence taken dog-watch that was a much better game from the Tigers they only just crept over 300 Possessions
against Brisbane and Geelong, but 361 was just under their season average. When I gauge an unseen game by the
Fantasy points I use the number of players who score 100 points or more in this case three each and then I scroll
down the list until I get to seventy points this was a no contest win to Richmond. Until a team learns to hold up
the magic mirror to an opposition they will be doomed to repeat the mistakes over and over. In the players under
182 cm GWS have only seven while the Tigers are the outlier with eighteen of which ten played GWS played three
of their arsenal of seven, know your enemy as Rage Against The Machine sang.

2019 The Finals (A stroll through the jungle of life) :

Grand Final:
Richmond 1,632 Points versus GWS 1,478 Points

Preliminary Finals:
Richmond 1,386 Points versus Geelong 1,487 Points
GWS 1,522 Points versus Collingwood 1,576 Points

Semi Finals:
Geelong 1,544 Points versus West Coast 1,363 Points
GWS 1,337 Points versus Brisbane 1,422 Points

Qualifying and Elimination Finals:
Collingwood 1,834 Points versus Geelong 1,410 Points
Richmond 1,411 Points versus Brisbane 1,515 Points
West Coast 1,695 Points versus Essendon 1,405 Points
GWS 1,588 Points versus Western Bulldogs 1,321 Points

Now winners in the left hand column, I did break every game into players 1 to 6, 7 to 12, 13 to 18, and 19 to 22,
but this is not a self help class and I could not be stuffed typing out all the data. Needless to say you don't need
to dig too deep to find the GOLD. Yes that is right GWS made the "Grand Final" on the back of one volume win
for the entire series against us. Richmond did not have a volume win until the grand final and as they say in a
crappy song "They saved their best to last".

Hmmm ... only 5 of the 9 winners had more AF points than their opponents. What does that tell us Y-J?

Plenty dog-watch, it is enhanced when you include the segmentation of 1 to 6, 7 to 12, 13 to 18, and of course
19 to 22, but why make it educational. It is a sad reflection on the state of the game and also a window on a
side like Richmond whose swarm and work rate without the ball and personnel is very different to most teams
in the competition. I will include the Grand Final segmentation just as a small taste dog-watch, but of course
there are other factors at play.

Richmond:
Players 1 to 6 = 595
Players 7 to 12 = 481
Players 13 to 18 = 388
Players 19 to 22 = 168

Versus

GWS:
Players 1 to 6 = 623
Players 7 to 12 = 409
Players 13 to 18 = 327
Players 19 to 22 = 119

so 1,632 versus 1,478, the GWS was far from the worse volumes achieved in the finals series, but the way they
played into Richmond's hands and invited pressure and turnover was the worst. Their personnel stank they
played injured players and were way too tall they made Jason Castagna look like Usain Bolt pity he did not
wear his lucky underpants in front of goal. Teams pay coaches plural a lot of money for what ?
 
So many people from other teams complaining, but they forget virtually almost every team in the league has received a priority pick or two at some stage. Some of those led to clubs getting a premiership. Gold Coast does need help, stuffed it up at the beginning and need to half start over.
 
We need a competitive Gold Coast, look what a leg up it was for the top 4 sides in 2016, due to playing Essendon twice.

If you got to play Gold Coast late in the season,it was a percentage booster.

How many teams have had priority picks ?
Wouldn’t think many ?
