WATTS - had his chances like the guy but sick of talking about him 1 good season in 9 time to trade - Agreed.

SALEM - again consistency & fitness a huge concern, maybe for the right trade - Keep, classy player.

TYSON - maybe we have a few to many like him maybe for the right trade - Keep, great ball-winner but needs to improve his kicking.

KENT - so inconsistent & injury prone - Not much good so cannot trade.

STRETCH - what does he give us? - Keep, only just starting his career, and showed quite a bit in 2016.

JKH - Hasn't stepped up from VFL to AFL - Keep, only just starting his career, and has speed.

WAGNER - to many half back flankers!! - Keep, only just starting his career, and had a pretty good 2016.

    I thought this was the most interesting interview on sport I had heard in a long time. I'm not usually a stats man but this is much more than that.

    Ben Darwin was on with KB and Brian Waldron at the start of the year and predicted Collingwood would drop off when everyone was talking them up. He also said we are heading up and surprisingly had the Tiges on the improve, he didn't predict a flag but said they finally had it right.

    They also looked at the Dogs 3 years back and predicted their rise.

    His predictions are based around analytics his company has developed called the TWI (team work index)...

    I think it's worth a good listen, he starts at around 1 minute 50...

    It might temper some of the aggressive traders and maybe get us to think more clearly about what it takes to build a champion team.

    The messiah complex cops a real beating here and I think we can see why Richmond are now successful. They've built a lot of their own and brought in to fill needs...it's how I see us heading and I hope we stick to it.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

    • POSTGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
