I'm looking for the stats graph 1-on-1 contest (X) vs 1-on-1 contests won (Y) : I recall Jonas actually being on top in both.Are people more disappointed Weiterig didn't get in (over Moore) because he was in the squad of 40?
Would personally have had Stephen May in the final 22. Does anyone have the 1 - on - 1 stats for these three guys (Moore, Weitering, May)?
How the fu** do you expect his output to be any better than minimal when he had 2 knee recos and 10+ knee operations in that time
Imagine how ******* good he would be if he didn't cop all those injuries?
At least now we can put to bed people trying to compare Gawn and Grundy, there is no comparison as it stands
did anyone notice the boy band singing danger danger dangerous chorus!!!!!!after the captains speech i suppuse the logic being captain is his involvement leading players assiocation also giving him credits for getting a season going with all the changes and dealings this year..as well as 8 all aussie starts
If you close your eyes and imagine a world where every country plays Aussie Rules and that in 2 months there is a World Cup tournament, then it's no real stretch of the imagination that Patrick Dangerfield would be the captain of the Australian team.Joke of an award to be honest. Has been for awhile. Dangerfield captain over Boak makes no sense on any metric you are using
They managed to name 8 inside mids on the field before him.How did Macrae and Guthrie make the starting midfield ahead of Steel?
Am I being biased in saying Steel had a better year than these guys? (4th in AFCA and MVP)

Forward 50 tackles:
Butler = 33
Dangerfield + Bontempelli + Martin = 32
Richmond’s elite knock ons don’t register as stats yet.
rance was at least vice captain. fair enough it either no actual captains are in the team, or the ones that were were fringe.They have form for selecting non-captains though, Rance, Buddy
i dont think they ever will. we are normally on top when we start doing the knock ons, because it means our system is working. when we lose its generally when our system breaks down and we wont be in a position to do them.Still waiting for those knock ons to cost you a big game....your guys are so good at it,but....still waiting
Making it position specific in terms of selection would eliminate the 'lets get Danger in up forward' type w@nk, then again the highest individual honour in the game is decided by umpires (lol) who only vote for midfielders.. praps we get what we deserve.It seems the AA side is like Mike Sheahan or Robbo's top 50 players - put players in the wrong order/spots to encourage discussion and clickbait.
The AA side shouldnt be like this.
Guys this isn't about bashing Bont, Danger, Martin, Guthrie and Macrae.
It's about giving the best Wing, FP and HF players recognition for there seasons.
Well well sweet Jesus, turns out other stats do matter after all. You trolled for 10+ pages but in the end Kennedy no where to be foundIf he's kicked more goals, he deserves it. If not, it will simply be another case of selectors being inept. Why do you presume that would bother me?
You guys would suck at Rugby!Richmond’s elite knock ons don’t register as stats yet.
18/4 split 6 years in a row Ron The Bear you cannot say they are not super consistent, 18 x Finalist Team, 4 x Non-Finalist Team for those who missed Ron The Bear's wonderful statistics and analysis.Magnificent, Ron The Bear so your saying there is a big chance of an 18/4 split in 2020.
If he can get a coupe more AA's and win a big award like AFLCA player of the year we can start discussing who is the better of the two againWell when assessing the whole career, that missed time will discount his overall body of work, like it would any other player.
If by the same age Grundy has the same number of AA's, and a greater sustained body of work, what then?
Half fowards and mids are the same thing. Plus both have spent a lot of time up foward this year. Danger just won us a top four position playing as a foward.
Why should Papley feel robbed? He kicked just 7 goals over the last 9 games. You don't make the All Australian team for playing brilliantly in the first 8 games and going missing in the second half of the season. Most unbiased Swans fans, if they were honest with themselves, would agree that he was the frontrunner for AA small forward at the halfway point, but his form fell away. He'll get his chances in the coming years. This year, the selectors decided Liam Ryan was only AA worthy small forward.Imagine a forward line without no small forwards... instead replaced by midfielders...
A disgrace.
Papley and Butler should feel robbed.
Its basically given to an elder statesmen figure like Hurn or now as he approaches 30, danger.Can someone explain the criteria for picking Captain, because clearly I don't understand. If you want the best player of the year, pick Neale since he's the glaringly obvious choice.
If you want a legitimate captaincy pick, Bont came runner up in the AFLPA Best Captain award, so how on earth is Dangerfield picked here?
It was 11 goalsOne game! 14 goals shouldn’t get you a forward line position. Pick him in the middle.
