Yes that is stupid. Cox should have averaged 5.7 ppg which puts him 13th.
Small sample sizes often make statistics look silly. Reids 5.5 and Winders 6.1 are both very average scores for player ratings, nothing impressive.
No they are just being used for a stupid purpose.
Yes
He only scored 5.5, thats pretty low.
Thats true of anything of this sort, supercoach, fantasy points, player ratings etc. I think player ratings does a better job then the other 2.
He had some really good games where he scored over 10 in the player ratings, but there were other games that drag the average score down especially in the second half of the year.
That’s just their way of saying Darcy is the next Tim English; not tough enough to actually be a ruckman, and not actually mobile enough to be a key forward.
Suck it up Footscray.
Don’t know if Darcy will be a Schache like dud.
More a comment on the “unicorn” label being a fan palatable way of saying Jack of all trades, master of none.
And that I’ve been critical of English as a ruck for years, and now there’s general acknowledgment.
Isn’t Darcy more of a forward, less of a ruck, but like Joey Daniher and Wright, can play there due to being tall, he is also a lot more mobile than his dad.
There is a chance Darcy ends up like Schache, but also a chance he ends up like Tom Hawkins, one of the best KPF gifted to a club as a father son.
Highly rated KPF coming through - Travis Cloke, Tom Hawkins, Joe Daniher all turned out to be decent.
failed ones, maybe cordys, but not sure they were rated that high. and more of a ruckman so …
Jay Neagle, but that was more due to work ethic / liked burgers too much. And was rated more of a later pick, not rated top 10 pre draft.
If we get a player who can read the play, is cool under pressure, and delivers the ball to forwards on a silver platter with a thin little chocolate mint in an individual wrapper on the side, then I will be well pleased.
I got a real “how can we manipulate the stats to come up with a real weird conclusion” vibe from that article.
Like ranking full backs for how many goals they kicked.
Just middle of October, no footy on and no draft yet, what the hell else can we say.
