How good is Christian Petracca?

He made the AFL Team of the Week without even playing.

Sheer genius!

year to date i think, not round 11 overall.

can't believe oliver isn't in there personally.

Looks like their current AA side based on their stats.

Another great reason to ignore Champion Data.

Where's Garlett then? Isn't he the champion data number 1 forward?

It is year to date.

Petracca is in the top 5 rated 'general forwards' for the year according to AFL Player Ratings, which is the basis for team of the week and team of the year. Hunt is perched just outside the top 5 'general defenders' as well so could sneak in.

Clarrie, for whatever reason, doesn't rate as highly in this as others who've been going along nicely. A key metric for midfielders is creating and maintain scoring chains and score assists, which advantages attacking midfielders. Given his more purely inside role he isn't going to be getting as many of these.

Clearly the AA side will look different to this. I don't think Atkins, Hall, Ablett, or yes, Tracc, would be seriously considered for AA spots. Clarry, on the other hand, would be in the squad of 40 at a minimum if his current form holds for the rest of the year.

Absolute rubbish side. I wonder if this is from those mupppets that do the SuperCoach for AFL website.

The AFL player ratings is the biggest joke of a system.

Nice to see Trac's name there but I wouldn't pay much attention.

Lol! Rory Atkins!

It's a bit strange if it's the year to date because apart from Petracca, the only other player in the side didn't play at the weekend is Buddy. Surely a few Bulldogs deserve to be in there, not to mention Clayton Oliver and Jeff Garlett?

I'm surprised O Mac isn't in the team, with all his 1%s and TOG.

Big boy McEvoy in the ruck! Lol!

Atkins is definitely one of their weak links and we played him as such. Basically let him have the ball at the stoppages, because we knew he wasn't dangerous.

Surely Grundy and Nankervis are performing better? 

That interchange though, he's in elite company.
