    North Melbourne have a better list than us, champion data lists are rediculous, don’t take enough variables into account

    North are 6 places above Brisbane

    I think that sums up how useful this list is.

    I see this as a positive

    I assume you mean judging on their past rankings. I agree.

    We only need to worry if Kane Cornes predicts us to win the flag.

    We don’t need to worry DL, Cornes has named the 6 teams that can win it and we are not one of them.

    And C Data had the Bulldogs at 15 in 2019, 2nd this year.

    We have a better list this year but have slid back to 12.

    Intereresting...

    I guess it all makes for a good talking point but as with last years rankings it has no actual relevance into how the season will pan out.

    Yes , champion data and the Media's treating the stats/rankings they come up with as gospel annoys the crap out of me

    If we only finish 12th next year i will eat my hat.

    Put that list right next to the one showing games lost to injury and see how it looks.

    Piffle.

    "Melbourne was the big slider in the rankings year on year. The Demons were rated the best list before last season but are 12th entering 2020."

    "The rankings are based purely on individual talent and are not linked to overall team statistics or system.
    Champion Data’s new ratings formula this year takes into account individual players’ output, game time, what position they play, what they contribute to each position, durability and how likely they are to be selected."

    Interesting that arguably our list has improved on last season yet we have dropped so far in the rankings.

    The "durability" and "how likely they are to be selected" would be massive factors for us after last year's horrendous injury run and how many changes we made week on week IMO.

    Garlett and Lewis probably had great statistical value last year despite being completely finished. I wonder how they’ve valued Jones.

    The good news is apart from Gawn who surely can’t go up another level again we have so many players who can improve. 

    Not sure the Dogs are 2nd but I think they belong in the top 5. After that the gap between 6-17 can’t be all that wide. North won 10 games, Freo won 9. Unless Hill and Langdon are now Judd and Ablett the gap between the lists can’t be all that big.

    North at number 6 gave me a chuckle.

    Bulldogs at number 2 almost as outrageous.

    I will enjoy the fireworks if Carlton finishes 3rd last again.

    Wish we had the bulldogs list. Reckon they will win a couple of flags over the next 5 years.

    • TRAINING: Friday 14th November 2025

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Adelaide

      Noffy, Hatchy and Randy lead Adelaide’s finals-hardened flock to IKON Park for a blockbuster semi-final against Kate Hore and Hanksy’s mighty Demons.  Adelaide has dropped four of its past five matches at this ground — let’s hope that trend holds.  But don’t expect charity — Doc Clarke brings an experienced, battle-worthy murder of Crows.

      The Demons 2026 AFL Fixture is as good as can be expected considering their performances and finishes the past two seasons.

They will travel 8 times including their home game in the Alice, their Gather Round game as well as a match against the Hawks in Tasmania. They will face, the Bombers, Bulldogs, the Suns, the Tigers, the Hawks and the Dockers twice.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      Melbourne returned to its city citadel, IKON Park, boasting a 10–2 home record and celebrating its 100th AFLW matchwith 3,711 fans creating a finals atmosphere. But in a repeat of Round 11, Brisbane proved too strong, too fit, and too relentless.  They brought their kicking boots: 9 goals, 2 points.
