AFL Player Ratings 2016

Featured Replies

Posted

AFL Player Ratings for the average pundit are over-rated, but the coaches apparently follow them closely, so when I saw a tweet regarding the ratings this year, I wanted to know how our boys are going. 

Based on 2016 and minimum 14 games played, there were a few Dees in the top few. 

Ruck
1. Gawn - no surprises here. 

General Forward 
8. Petracca - sandwiched between Bruest and Harvey. He is also the 21st best player in the AFL in the last 4 weeks (player ratings). Very interesting....

Key Forward 
8. Watts - between Walker and Cameron. Not a bad place to be! 

Key Defender 
1. T McDonald - maybe he might have a smokey AA? 

Last 4 Weeks AFL Averages: 
Gawn is raked 4th; Petracca 21st; and Vanders 40th (what?????????)

2016 AFL Averages
3. Gawn (after Danger and JPK, wont overtake Danger, but could be 2nd by the end of the year) 
30. Viney 
31. T. McDonald 

We knew that Gawn, Viney were our 1 and 2 this year, but I am surprised how high T Mac is on the list. Maybe we might get a couple of AA this year. 

 

The AFL player ratings are stupid. Its like they asked one of the staff writers children to come up with a system of ranking the best players. But sadly it was the actual afl.com employees who created it.

Not player ratings but Frost and Omac both finished 6 & 7th in champion data ranking for goals conceded by defenders.

Frost 16 games, 16 goals (1.00 ave)

OMac 15 games, 15 goals. (1.00 ave)

Doesn't take into account quality of opposition, opportunity, handovers etc.

Above them were, H.Taylor (0.68), Weitering (0.95), Schofield (0.95), Henderson (1.00) Haynes (1.00)

Interesting Rance conceded 41 goals for the year.

Considering the blokes he plays on and at the standard of midfield protection in front of him, that's pretty good. Not to mention it was probably 34 after 21 games...

...but he was playing against 6 opponents & that was on a good day.

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

  • PREGAME: Richmond

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
