Worst Team Ever?

[Vader]

The team announced tonight is one of the two worst teams ever named to play for the AFC. It's only competition is the team which lost to Brisbane 2 weeks ago.

My question to you - which of these two teams takes the cake as the worst team to ever represent the AFC?

C: Jaensch, Dangerfield, van Berlo
HF: Knights, Henderson, Sloane
F: Gunston, Tippett, Wright
R: Jacobs, S. Thompson, Douglas
Int: McKernan, Petrenko, Schmidt, Vince
Emerg: Maric, Riley, Tambling
In: Henderson, Schmidt
Out: Reilly (knee), Sellar

R11 vs Brisbane
B: Johncock, Rutten, L. Thompson.
HB: van Berlo, Sellar, Doughty
C: Jaensch, Reilly, Vince
HF: Knights, Gunston, Sloane
F: Douglas, Tippett, Wright

Vader please read my comments on the other thread.

Gutted with the team selections.

i am really losing faith with our coaching team.

 

[Numinous]

I think if those two played, it'd be a draw.

No-one would be suspended though

Neither would anyone want to watch it.

You're not the only one.

I've just written the following on Team Thursday (and it did make it past the censors - surprisingly):

Just out of interest.. who is on the selection committee, besides Neil Craig? In other words, who is first to face the firing squad when the end of year clean out occurs?

EDIT: The answer was the assistant coaches.

At least we can look forward to a complete clean out at the end of the year then. <fingers crossed>

 

[swanfan]

In the words of Brett Kirk, I'm gutted.

 

[Mad Fan of AFL]

A complete clean out of players or coaches? Not the time to do so in a player sense

 

[King Elvis]

In the words of Brett Kirk, I'm gutted.

But how are you feeling?

 

[Dirty Bird]

Out of curiosity.
What was our rd 1 team last year without McLeod, Edwards and Goodwin?

Definitely the round 11 team with Sellar, Moran, Symes, Schmidt and Maric. Wow even though they all didn't play, thats just a horrible list of players.

You amaze me, you have been bleating on that its never been list managment, yet now (it must have smacked you in the face somewhere) you are tearing the shreads the players that represent the AFC, isnt that list management????

 

[swanfan]

Gutted mate..

**** I loathe that guy...

I think Harry O would come a close 2nd. Perhaps not, they both shit me to tears.

 

[Mismatched]

Vader please read my comments on the other thread.

i am really losing faith with our coaching team.

Cannot believe the selections this week. What on earth has Henderson done to earn a recall, he needed a good 3-4 weeks of SANFL, not 1. What more does Aiden Riley have to do? We'd clearly prefer to keep persisting with the likes of Symes and Schmidt, who we keep dropping one week and selecting the next, its like trench warfare in WWI, we think if we keep doing the same thing enough times, it might eventually work FFS Craigy, try something NEW, give blokes like Riley and Talia a chance, f*** playing Brodie Smith in the SANFL ressies, just bring him straight back in.

 

[Schulzycrow]

Come on guys!! We are still a mathematical chance of making the 8.

 

[StillCrowing]

What more does Aiden Riley have to do?

I watched the SANFL highlights video with Aiden Riley in it. Pretty disappointing. He's too hard at the football. Not sure he'll ever get a game with us if he thinks he can actually attack the football.

 

[WALL-e]

It's definately one of the most uninspiring. Maybe not the worst, but shit there's some cloggers in there.

Care to name a worse team the AFC has fielded in its 20.5 year history? Seriously, I'm open to suggestions. As far as I can recall, these are the two standouts for "worst team ever" status.

 

[WALL-e]

God, I actually don't know

The thing steering me away from that is the nice young talent we have, though there's just a on of clogger in there......hmmm, I'll get back to you!

 

[Dangarman]

The Brisbane team had Cook and Sellar, so you could probably claim QED on an argument right there.

The two teams had 17 common players

Bris added Cook, Sellar, Smith, Walker and Reilly.
Tonight we have Schmidt, Gunston, Symes, Vince, Otten

Bris WB
Tot Gm 229 204
2011 Gm 34 25
2011 disp 497 430
disp ave/gm 14.6 17.2
2011 goals 19 12
goal ave/gm 0.56 0.48
2011 tackles 101 60
tack ave/gm 3.0 2.4

On average, the WB team will win an extra 13 possessions, while the Bris team will kick 0.4 more goals, and lay 3 more tackles.

Walker skews the goal count considerably, and Reilly skews the possession and tackle count considerably. Certainly tonight's five have a much more even spread of talent. And yes, on the scale of
1. wannabe -> 2. hack -> 3. plodder -> 4. depth -> 5. fringe ->
6. regular 22 -> 7. quality -> 8. elite -> 9. star -> 10. superstar

I actually rate Schmidt as about 4.5.

So I vote the R9 team as worst ever.
