NAB Rising Star

O'Meara won it as he should have

 

WILL BE A SUPERSTAR

Only 1 judge didn't give him top votes.....Ricciuto! Gave it to Crouch from you guessed it...Adelaide!

It'd be line ball imo.

And then some. The kid is brilliant.

That may be so, but O'Meara was the standout this year and had a much better season than Crouch. Crouch and O'Meara will terrorise us for many years, but this year, Jaegar was much better.

 

He played every game (may have missed one) whereas Crouch missed a few with hammy problems then was in the 2's for a couple of weeks as well.

Fine speech made by Brendan McCartney at the presentation today. Can't find a link but keep an eye out for it and give it a listen if you can.

Have to disagree with the bolded.

Average is boosted by playing less games...having less to divide by

Yeah missing games always helps... look at all our guys, only going ok, then BOOM hammie, and after that they come back in a lot better touch and we win lots of games and hit the end of the season hard & make finals.

Uuuummmmm...

What?

 

If O'Meara gets 100 Possies but plays 20 games compared to Crouch who gets 100 possies but plays 10 games who will have the better average when it comes to possies?

What?

 

If O'Meara gets 100 Possies but plays 20 games compared to Crouch who gets 100 possies but plays 10 games who will have the better average when it comes to possies?

All the stats put up are averages.

200 over 20 vs 100 over 10... I thought you picked that up...

 

If a guy played 1 game and had 30 touches would you give it to him instead?

Very little difference on average stats (see Reboot's post) and Crouch will be as good IMHO - but he simply had no-where near as good a season - he missed a third of the year. For a first year to run out a full year at that sort of level is very very rare - really impressive.

What?

 

If O'Meara gets 100 Possies but plays 20 games compared to Crouch who gets 100 possies but plays 10 games who will have the better average when it comes to possies?

That's terrible logic

 

You would assume if your above stats where in fact correct that if Crouch was to play another 10 games he'd end up with 200 possession not the 100 O'meara got over 20. Average is average, doesn't matter how many games you play

Shame,  it wasn't a draw, because they both deserved the Rising Star Award.

Are you all mildly retarded?

If guy A plays 1 game & kicks 3 goals - guy B plays all 22 & kicks 50: who's had the better year?
