That list assessment is so off the mark it's not even laughable. How the gently caress is our list worse off than Brisbane's? Honestly, just loving how? Same old 'No More Priddis, Wooden Spoon' nonsense as last year. St Kilda and Carlton above Freo? Yeah, they're smoking ![]()

The AFL just need to open their data up like the MLB and just let the public go at it and do some interesting analysis

Our season last year was poo poo but brought on by a bunch of reasons of which many have been rectified. Have you actually looked at Carltons list?

I find it really hard to understand the CD ladder rankings. They're based on statistics, not potential or anything like that, right? So surely the teams that have performed the best (say, for instance, the reigning premiers) would have the best stats and be rated higher? Or, if not, it demonstrates that CD are weighing up their stats incorrectly?

It's not the team stats, it's the individual player stats, and then the teams players are added together to get one number. Since AFL squads are too big to pull a Golden State Warriors, it means the highest rated squads probably have more middle ranked players than everyone else.

The point is that the way the individual stats are compiled in a way that has its own bias as well. A players statistical value is still subject to a number of assumptions that CD are putting in place. This is why midfielders and high possession players are consistently rated as the best players in the league whereas non-ruck KPP get nothing, particularly key defenders. Because of the way that CD assigns value to individual players that problem is exacerbated when they do the list ratings, and it's ended up spitting out nonsense like this. Fremantle won 8 games last year, added 2 high quality key position talents, lost a high performing midfielder, but CD rate them as being the 2nd worst list in the league? That's absolute nonsense to anybody who watched footy last year. It's not to say there's a simple answer to fix this this but surely at some level when you crunch all your numbers and end up with a list like that, there should be a bit of alarm bells going off internally that CD have got some wrong assumptions in place before they release that to the public.

That would explain the Crows being so high. We have an extraordinary number of okay but never going to be a star depth players.

I honestly wouldnt be surprised if there was one list released to the public, and another list released to the clubs.

Maybe someone should save that list for the end of the season so we can see how far from the mark they are. I dare say the original image will vanish the instant it starts looking wrong.

I dare say the original image will vanish the instant it starts looking wrong. Here is last years (I’m comparing to post finals ranking, determining that if you got knocked out in the same week the team that lost to the opponent who is ranked higher at the end gets ranked higher) quote:Champion Data's list ratings heading into 2018: https://www.triplem.com.au/story/champion-data-rate-each-list-coming-into-2018-83391 They’re a lot better at picking the bottom than the top. An average of 4 spots off across the whole ladder.

If they sell the match worn AFLX guernseys I'm seriously contemplating buying Jade Gresham's. Mainly because I think this'll be the only time this poo poo show happens and it has "Gresh" as his name on it so it'll be both super rare and a great memento of the AFLs stupidity. Plus Gresham is going to be a superstar ![]()

I just looked at the AFLX teams and it turns out each of the bullshit made up teams have their own specific sponsor. I was looking up the teams to see who was going to pull out last minute with "general soreness" etc. And I am surprised that it is so few. I expected a lot more.

Speaking of AFLX: quote:Marvel Stadium is Australia’s version of the magic lands at the top of Enid Blyton’s Faraway Tree. Last week’s cricket BBL fantasy land has moved on, to be replaced by an enchanted realm called AFLX. I do so hope that Joe, Beth and Fanny made it down in time for tea.

quote:Is X for the international market, as we’re told, because it fits on a soccer pitch? But it occurs to us that there already is a code that is played on a soccer pitch, and it has built up quite a following of its own around the world, and if you give it a bit of time will probably do very well. It’s called soccer. This is such a poo poo argument.

A better argument would be why is AFLX being played in Melbourne, the home of afl? Why isn't it being played in London, Munich, Rio, New York, LA? Places that love sport and have the rectangle grounds it can be played on. If you want to capture an international market you've got to play the exhibition games there. Which is why the VFL in the 70s and 80s played games in London and LA.

Is it because traditional AFL is, well, Calvinball but real? I know that when my friends and I stumbled onto the 2010 Grand Final on tv here at like 1am that's what we intriguing to us. It was kind of inscrutable at first but that was the appeal. I almost feel like if I watched AFLX and was like "gently caress yeah" and then tuned into regular AFL I'd be even more confused? It just seems rear end-backwards to me.

I mean, from the beginning the name is an issue. The code is still "Australian Rules Football" despite the AFL doing all it can to basically rename it. I'm not a think tank but surely something that gave an idea about what the hell it actually is to begin with might help. Oz Footy 7s or something that described what it was all about might help. I guess there is some sort of transition to regular footy but making overseas audiences take it on enmasse is basically impossible. China might be the best bet due it to still being a young market but the rest of the world has Soccer and American Football to fill that winter sport need.

Oh yeah for sure. But the AFL pushed AFLX as a game to play overseas where they have soccer pitches instead of ovals. They went ahead and made it real using the excuse of overseas markets as the reason it exists.

drunkill posted:A better argument would be why is AFLX being played in Melbourne, the home of afl? This was my argument. AFLX is supposedly the code for us, who can put together 9-a-side on rectangular grounds and stumble on a full-size oval once a year (and dear god the difference is massive). But it’s being played in Melbourne. And I don’t think it’s streaming free on Watch AFL, though it is going to be there. They also played exhibition games in baseball grounds in Japan, which was partially the roots of the game here. https://youtu.be/GTyfchftMhY

Aussie rules football but it's played over a 6 square mile expanse in the outback. Each team has two pickup trucks and eight dirt bikes which it may use to move team members around. The bounce rule still applies with no change to the minimum distance, even while aboard a vehicle. Each pickup truck has a mortar in the flatbed capable of firing a ball. Firing a ball from the mortar counts as a kick. There are three balls in play.
