Don't really see the Lions at 10th either

 

Whose midfield would you prefer: GWS (11th) or Essendon (12th)?

 

 

So Norf has the second best midfield, and 6th overall lock them in for the 8 then 

lions 10th Essendon 9th

i swear champion data brings these lists out each year to take the [censored] 


Glenn Luff was pretty high up at Champion Data and is now Norths list manager, guess Champion Data are either looking after him, or setting him up as a failure? ??

How is the Giants midfield ranked 12th?! They just made the grand final off the back of a ridiculous midfield. Taranto, Kelly, Coniglio, Whitfield, Hopper, DeBoer, Ward, Williams, with youngsters Ash, Caldwell, Hately, Langdon, Hill all likely to push for game time also. It didn’t stand up on the day it counted, but their midfield is comfortably top 4, probably the best IMO.

I’ve never been overly critical of champion data stuff in the past because I understand it’s all pure stats, but even so it seems they [censored] this up.

 

Didn't you know stats don't lie. Interpreting them, that's another matter, using them to predict the future? Well that's a bit of black magic.

In a past life I got talking to a statistician in the "bull-ring' (the Courtyard in the Old Magistrates Court in Melbourne). He had been called as an expert witness in a case and we were discussing the likelihood of something occurring. During proceedings he had been asked the  chances of something occurring and he gave evidence that what had occurred was a once in 10000yr event (from his statistical modeling).

I asked what happens now? (Thinking we were safe for however much of the 10000yrs were left). He told me no, the clock resets and we start a new 10000yrs because we had an event. My follow up question? What's the likelihood of the same thing happening in the next few years? He replied, "well that would be within the 10000yrs"

Positional Rankings are in and as expected the Dees have slid down the list. 85018668_2647940705253186_3184640876148162560_o.jpg

There is no way that North have a better list than Carlton, and at that a significantly better midfield.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

  • GAMEDAY: West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

  • FEATURE: 1925

    A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
