@melbournefc is this available in long sleeve?

Not listed in any match report’s “best players” (anywhere from 5-9 players from each side) @davidking34 @Hoyney35 @kanecornes Baffling

Did I watch a different game @davidking34 @Hoyney35 @kanecornes Tom Barass got BOG from one coach (5 votes) Yet rated 32nd best on ground AFl ratings and rated 41st Champion Data. Game was played largely in Haw front half?????!!!!!!

Asking for a friend…. If Tom De Koning @stkildafc is getting $1.7 million a year what is Max Gawn @melbournefc worth ? #footylesson

@SquiggleAFL when will squiggle update it's premiership cup for Brisbane in 2025?

Sydney by 3 with a 53% win chance. Sydney v Brisbane Lions @ S.C.G. #AFLSwansLions squiggle.com.au/game/?gid=38503

@MatterOfStats thanks. Guessing that is a formula for the week/total exp wins accumulating each week. Do you have one for a projection for exp wins by season's end?

@_tjch I use an optimiser in R to find it, but only at season end FWIW I have a similar equation in my Team Dashboard that I use each week, and it is: Exp Wins = 1/(1+exp(-(0.164 x (SSPGF - SSPGA) + 6.18 x (Own Conv - Opp Conv)))) with SSPG = Scoring Shots per Game and Conv = G/(G+B)

REPOSTING If you follow a men's AFL team, imagine they are scheduled to next meet an average opponent at a fairly neutral ground On average, how much better would the final margin be if you had your best 23 versus if you lost a key player & had to field your next-best 23

@MatterOfStats Thanks - ladder I was using had incorrect PF and PA! How do you work out the season exponent each week?

@_tjch I get 10.1 wins 1902^3.54 / (1902^3.54 + 2038 ^3.54) = 0.439 0.439 x 23 = 10.1

@MatterOfStats thanks. Based on using 3.54, some of the pythagorean wins seem off from media reports e.g. Melbourne wins in 2025 7 pythagorean 9.1 (many outlets reporting 10)....

@_tjch Here's what I get as the optimal exponent for each season

@andrew_whelan Can you clarify: Champion data points = SC What’s the rating metric you use?

Getting a few drive-bys thanks to Champion Data's Nick Diacos player ratings.

@andrew_whelan Have you got premiership metrics?

In his latest piece for Rampart, @mrjoeaston reflects on the Adelaide Writers' Week debacle and, in his words, the "two parallel universes" of public discourse in Australia. Read the full article at rampart.news or at the link below. rampart.news/antisemitism-i…
