I was thinking of Blight's Barometer: the match deciders are the bottom six.
I found it very hard to work out who would be our bottom six on yesterday's performance. A decent player like Dempster might be included, as might Fosdike - but then there was that brilliant goal to balance his clanger, and his general form is very good. Doyle had a relatively quiet game, but no-one in their right mind would drop him. Early in the season Ted Richards would have gone on a bottom six list automatically, but he has turned into a useful defender, and despite not being a noted kick even had a goal.
Others seem to have a similar problem - I checked the best players according to our main papers (I know, I know) and between The Age, The Australian and Herald Sun, half the team were nominated! Goodes and Kirk were the only ones on each list.
This is a very good problem to have. The only drawback I can think of is that I suspect the Eagles could probably say the same thing.
