The important number is the ratio of the Age ranking to the List Power ranking. So in our case it's 17/14 or 1.21. A ration > 1 means your list is on the improve.Comment

Correct Bexl, Champion Data only rate players on their AFL games ba sed on numbers and with a weighting towards the most recent season. I can't read the Hun article but Norf would be so high because they have more players with exposed form. Someone like Hayward would rate low based on 2019 when he battled injury all year but we know he has really high ability. The strength in our list is the potential of youth.Comment

Will the players that have joined our squad for 2020 help us be a more effective team ?
ok.......so the Tigers have proved the last few years that you can be bottom of the ladder on clearances as they were in 2019 (ranked 18th) and still win a GF !!!!
"A clearance being when a player 'clears' the ball out of a stoppage situation - ball-up or boundary throw in; whether it be to the advantage of their own team or the opposition. Either way, it is a clearance because the ball has been cleared out of the crowded area that is a stoppage."
So what statistics besides most goals scored do we want to increase the most?
Will our new recruits be best positioned to add to the most important stats for the Swans to win more games?
Richmond was equal highest in goals against in 2019 and equal highest in goals scored which was a little surprising re most score against
Richmond were 3rd for inside 50s and the Swans were 17th !!!!
Richmond for most other stats are fairly middle of the road except "inside 50s they are 3rd !!!
From what I can observe, the ability to achieve more inside 50s and more goals are the two most important stats for us in 2020 as long as we have continual improvement in the other important stats
The type of players we have added in Taylor and Gray are there because they can add to our inside 50s, goals scored and crumbing / exits but they are not the best at their art in the competition obviously otherwise they would be kept at their clubs and not playing reserves and or only 1 year contract offered
So do we have others that may level jump them in the art of scoring more or entering the 50 more ?"be tough, only when it gets tough"

Interesting article about the draft: Inside the draft's first round: Twists, turns, bluffs and the big calls - AFL.com.au. Most relevantly for us, it suggests that we would have taken Lachie Ash with our first pick instead of Dyl Stephens if the Giants hadn't taken him first. Also says the Giants were ready to match, and would have matched, a bid for Green at pick 3 (despite having traded 3 first rounders to get their pick 4). Instead they would have traded down their pick 4 before matching. And if for any reason Jackson had not been available, Green was Melbourne's next preference.
The big nearly deal that also had a big impact on the first round was Adelaide nearly agreeing to trade back to Carlton's pick 9. They considered it because they wanted McAsey and hoped he would still be available at pick 9 but they didn't do it because if we had taken Young, Freo might have taken McAsey at pick 8. I don't know how solid the information is but it is interesting to get the window into what was happening behind the scenes.All opinions are not equal. Some are a very great deal more robust, sophisticated, and well supported in logic and argument than others. -Douglas Adams, author (11 Mar 1952-2001)

My take on that article was that Freo weren’t especially interested in McAsey, but wanted to make the Crows think they were so as to discourage them from trading with Carlton, who wanted Young or Serong (especially Young).Comment

High hopes sure. Probably a psychological factor at play too , ‘ this is how highly we think of you , we’re giving you arguably the greatest ever indigenous players number ‘. Trying to inspire, for a guy renowned for talent but less so for work ethic and professionalism, might be a ploy

I'm really looking forward to Will Gould's future as a Swan and loving his attitude and enthusiasm.
Good as Gould: New Swan 'ecstatic' - sydneyswans.com.au
On playing senior footy next year: "That’s definitely my goal, so we’ll have a crack and see how we go."
Love it! Anyone who 'has a crack' gets my vote. (No bottom barbs please

Chad Warner looks to be a character. Has a bit of swagger even more than Paps perhaps. I reckon he might ruffle a few opposition feathers along the way, intentionally. Our Zac Jones replacement in the middle maybe.

Our defence is 5, Forwards 7, Mids 13, Ruck 18.
I think that’s not completely unreasonableComment

I see him as a bit of a mix between Jude Bolton and Brad Hogg, the cricketer.
I can't pretend to be intimately acquainted with all the teams ruck divisions but 18th seems a bit harsh. I think they have been marked down because they haven't been on the park, so I think we're a bit better than that. Surely we're better than, say, Geelong? Otherwise, no complaints.All opinions are not equal.

concerning but probably a fair assessment of where we are still at in the mids in comparison to the top6 teams........after that hard to navigate those stats and marginal for the teams 7 to 16 me thinks"be tough, only when it gets tough"

Do not post your queries on the main boards. Such posts WILL be removed, without further explanation.
Constant breaches of the rules will result in your access to RWO being reduced as the Moderator / Administrator group see fit. RWO uses the vBulletin Infraction System to deal with breaches of the RWO rules. All Infractions have an expiry date. Such an expiry date may be as short as 10 days or as long as 6 months.

1) Signatures / Avatars
Keep signatures under 4 lines of standard sized fonts (if you must use large fonts, use just one line) as a courtesy to all users who read the forums.
Do not use signatures / avatars as an opportunity to make jibes at other forum members. This will be considered to be sniping (refer Rule 6 below). You may not refer to another RWO forum member, or quote anything they have written, without permission from that member. Using an anonymous tag does not make it acceptable. If quotes are not removed, we reserve the right to remove them, without notification. If in doubt as to whether something is acceptable or not, don't use it!
2) Spamming
Advertising for personal commercial purposes is NOT permitted. Placing links to sites that other users may find of interest / personal websites is acceptable within reason (ie constantly posting links will be frowned upon).
3) Deliberately avoiding the RWO swear filter
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. A swear filter is in place to mask offensive words and phrases. This swear filter contains offensive words and variant spellings of offensive words to stop you from deliberately avoiding the swear filter. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter through alternate spelling of offensive words.

RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. Moderators will let some minor cases through. Anything deemed to be of poor taste or of an offensive nature may be removed at moderator discretion.

5) Trolling / Baiting
Deliberately posting on threads in an attempt to stir / bait other RWO users will not be tolerated.
6) Flaming / Sniping / Abuse / Insulting other members
If you have to have a go at someone personally, take it off the boards. Everyone else doesn't need to see your hissy fits. Remember, "Play the ball, not the man". This includes spouses or partners. If you don''t like a post, don't flame, snipe, abuse or insult in response - it makes the job of moderation much harder. Report the post through the forum reporting mechanism (click on the Triangle with the exclamation mark) and let the Moderator / Administrator group deal with it.
7) Legal issuesa) The Moderator / Administrator group will keep a very close eye on threads discussing rumours or anything that could be potentially libellous.
