Former #19 Nick Hind

On what device & browser?

Used to be able to, but I stopped being able to do that a few years ago.

Champion Data Player Ratings & SuperCoach are the same thing.

AFL Player Ratings and AFL Fantasy (ie. 3 points for a kick , 2 points for a handpass, 3 points for a mark, 4 points for a tackle, etc) are the same thing.

Android on whatever default browser

No. AFL player ratings, supercoach and AFL fantasy are all seperate things. The AFL player ratings were created by champion data, there are no ā€œchampion data player ratingsā€ its just the AFL player ratings.

No, thereā€™s another one, one that says the best player on the ground in Ess v C**ton was Adam Cerra (by a long margin)

So there you goā€¦

Not quite sure how the maths works but apparently some of these ā€œratingsā€ numbers get to about 30 for a really good game but ā€œseason averagesā€ can be in the multiple hundreds?
I ainā€™t no big city mathematicianā€¦

It is stupid and confusing that its shown under ā€œseason avgā€ but that number in the multiple hundreds isnt an average, its an aproximate total over the last 2 years but weighted more towards recent games. If you want the actual player rating averages for the season you can get them on wheelo ratings which is a much better stats website in just about every way.

Like for Like, is pretty pointless concept.

I donā€™t think youā€™ll ever get like for like with Hind.
Someone who runs on their tippy toes constantly, loses balance easily and looks like they Are about to,turn it over at the drop of a hat.

Iā€™m pretty sure there are plenty of others who could deliver the things he is currently doing okay. The run and gun is a threat, seldom seen this season, and when we have, he essentially ran strainght into the opposition, as though he thought he was wearing the ā€œmagic coat of invisibilityā€.

Tsatas in, he might not be very good and has pretty poor form (sarcastica font)ā€¦

But I just have the slightest inkling he might do better.

You still didnā€™t get back to me the other day when I asked you why Brad keeps playing him.

So, the way I see it,

  • he doesnā€™t get in the team until as Sub rnd 6
  • gets a role because of injuries to Ridley / Kelly
  • Kelly remains on the injury list
  • Massimo had clear defensive issues that needed to be addressed,
    So hasnā€™t he like been sub virtually every game Hind has played
  • Tsatas wasnā€™t playing yet, while he hangs onto his role by the skin of his teeth.
  • the Team is now morphing and injured players returning, Tsatas getting runs on the board at some point Mass might get a call back.

Hindā€™s skate on thin ice will be over.

If they were going to be playing Tsatas on HBF they would be preparing him for it at VFL level IMO, and training with defensive group. Itā€™s not something heā€™s done in juniors that I know of either.

The thin ice is simply some wishful thinking by you IMO.

Heā€™s either in our best team inc sub or important depth.

Why wouldnā€™t they play him in the guts to get his fitness up and skills going.
It may be a different role, but if you have ability and fitness, and the coaches believe you have acquisition, then it should work.

He was sub in rd 3 and 5 and worth mentioning he had an injury interrupted pre season.

Hind played alongside Kelly and Ridley in round 7 and 8 before Ridley and Kelly missed the Brisbane game.

Was Laverde out over that period?

Yes and we also played Mass, Hep and Langford at half back at times in those games.

Yep so basically our backline has been screwed around a fair bit over the last 7-8 rounds, and I guess Brad wants some continuity in some shape or form.
That problem appears to be going away.

I think Hind is our #8 defender and reasonable cover in other positions too, if any of our defenders are injured, hes in the 22. If not, hes probably the sub but maybe on the bench or very rarely up forward.

It would appear, that his time might be over, without a like for like replacement.

Attendre et espƩrer.

I didnā€™t see this coming. We look better with Hind in the team and Kelly out.

Prefer to make that assessment after the next game
