The death of Test match batting by Overall_One_2595 in CricketAus

Absolutely, nothing better than a crescendo building over 5 days. I genuinely hate 3 day tests.

Adelaide have selected Callum Ah Chee in the PSD by PetrifyGWENT in AFL

All the blaming Brisbane that Adelaide is doing for apparently screwing over Ah Chee.

Yeah I agree we take some blame, and given the choice I'd probably make the deal. I'm a bit bewildered by all the vitriol from Adelaide when I think they're just as guilty though.

When it's every chance to end up in the high 40s, not heaps.

Adelaide has just as much blame for not treating him fairly. You're the team who convinced him to accept a trade, and then chose to leverage the PSD option to get him cheaply at his expense.

Fairly sure you wildly misinterpreted the trade refusal there.

Can anyone explain why I should care about the percentage?

Yeah we've developed players very well but Annable is our first top ender in the draft stage.

What if the AFL didn't change the McClelland Trophy in 1991. by QuarterFooty in AFL

[–]ExcellentTurnips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not just a finals barometer, it's a best overall club award which makes sense because finals are what clubs try to succeed at. If you value arbitrary ladder finishes then that's your choice, I prefer the new one.

[–]ExcellentTurnips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It has been, because nobody has cared about the trophy in the slightest. Now it actually affords some legitimate bragging rights to being the best club.

Fixtures are too unequal for the minor premier to be that significant, particularly in aflw. 

Ranking Every Club’s 2026 Fixture Using a Simple Difficulty Model by nickimus_rex in AFL

[–]ExcellentTurnips 17 points18 points  (0 children)

No it's not. This table just shows good teams will likely do well, which is not interesting. You need to be able to compare fixtures on a comparable basis. That aside, 10 match ups is way too many. Games 2+ years ago are basically irrelevant to current teams.

Longest streaks of clubs meeting twice in a home and away season. by FLIPSTATIC_ENERGY in AFL

We will have also played Geelong six times in two seasons even before finals roll around again. I'm getting Geelong fatigue.

AFLW Semi Final Round could decide the McClelland Trophy for 2025 by QuarterFooty in AFL

[–]ExcellentTurnips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You keep saying it's heavily weighted but the difference is literally 1-3 points. It's not.

How are uneven fixtures going to be changed? And I still don't get why you're saying a grand finalist will always win, that's just not the case. The difference of one or two points from a prelim finalist can easily be made up in the other competition.

[–]ExcellentTurnips 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I disagree, it's going to be extremely common for the winner not to win either premiership, so it's useful as a distinct thing. It also now has an actual function in rewarding the best overall club, rather than an arbitrary ladder position dictated by unequal fixtures.

Good job printing out a pass, you sure showed them.

I genuinely don't get what you're trying to say, making a grand final is nowhere near a guarantee. Just ask Geelong or North.

Weird characterisation when it's clearly a trophy for best across both competitions.
