AFL Player Ratings 2016

Dee-licious

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: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
