Not quite sure what the @championdata algorithm is but I can only assume it factors in height as a priority.

Caleb Daniel says this is not true. Unless of course the height factor is distance from the norm.

CD isn't perfect, it certainly doesn't measure "sacrifice for the team" which I suspect coaches would value a lot higher.
IIRC you have to be in the top percentile for your position which is why Grundy slid out after a few years of being in the elite category.

Macrae would be an example of a player considered elite to the eyeballs but not under CD measurements.

Grundy didn't have a good 2020

According to Champion Data, the Western Bulldogs have five players that are considered elite in their position; the joint-most of any team in the competition:


Marcus Bontempelli
Caleb Daniel
Lachie Hunter
Bailey Williams
Josh Dunkley

Without me checking please tell me Dunks is listed as a ruckman! Please.
