Champion Data Rates the Top 40

So Jackson was the 4th best player in ranking points at the champs behind Rowell, Serong & Mahony.... so not much of a reach really.

Pickett seems to be the biggest reach, but was still only 0.6 rating points behind Liam Henry so not a huge difference.

    Be good if Trent Rivers plays like Shaun Burgoyne, Jordan Lewis and Lachie Whitfield!

    I guess if I was Jason Taylor I might read some of this rubbish to somehow vindicate my role and salary at the club. I mean clearly, Taylor has invested years and years of time, effort and process to be seemingly surpassed by an article from a group of Henson characters that have barely feathered.

    ‘Champion’ data is the biggest oxymoron going around.

    They shouldn’t be allowed to publish this shizen.

    Going by data, it shows Jackson at 4 was actually pretty bang on, but Kozzie was a big reach (rated 42nd best player).

    Rivers was around the mark, and I reckon had he not missed pre-season with glandular fever he would've been a first rounder. Quietly confident we've struck gold there.

    Someone has it wrong then if Mahony can get picked at number 34 by Nth Melb...

    They don’t rate character, attitude or personality I would imagine.

    Going by the table only 5 of the top 10 selected were ranked in the top 10 by Champion Data.

    The 5 ranked outside the top 10:

    • Ash - pick #4; ranked 14
    • Stephens - pick #5; ranked 41
    • McAsey - pick #6; ranked 21
    • Young - pick #7; ranked 25
    • Henry - pick #9; ranked 35

    So  our pick #12 for Picket ranked 42 doesn't seem like 'reaching' to me!

    And in the 10-20 range two selections were ranked 59 and 110 and two weren't even in the rankings.  I'm guessing the various phantom drafts would have been just as close (or as far) from the actual draft.

    While the phantom drafts and rankings are a bit of fun and keep the AFL in the limelight they aren't a great guide to what clubs do.

    Dan Houston is also a very good up and coming player in his own right. Quite the quartet of comparisons.

    I wonder where Cyril Rioli would be ranked on the same criteria.
    Players of this ilk don't require bulk stats to have a serious impact on the outcome.

    Cyril was a top 10 prospect who slid due to interviewing poorly (pretended to be asleep in meeting with Port so he wouldn’t have to move to Adelaide). They’re not comparable players on output thus far. Hopefully Kozzie proves worthy of the first round selection and tears it up in red n blue.

    Kossie was a top 10 pick who slid due to academy bids. Don’t pretend they’re not comparable, it’s disingenuous.

    Really? So 11 players are selected before Kozzie and you argue he is top 10!

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
