Champion Data rates us second best in 2020

[Dry Rot]

Nice to see, but is it valid? What do you think of the rest of the ratings?

The part that is applicable to us has already been added to BT's Western Bulldogs List Management Guidebook - 2020 Edition thread

Validity is difficult because these ratings are hindsight.

Last years No 1 rating (Melbourne) did not work out to well.

Richmond may have peaked and we should be improving, hopefully that means we are the team for 2020.

The best indicator for the future is the past. Melbourne have been an ordinary football club for decades and have refused to take proper remedial measures to improve themselves. They would much rather try to take shortcuts to improvement and we all know that just never works.

They are further behind the eightball now than they were at the end of the season.

What do you think Champion Data will get right for 2020, and what did they will get wrong?

Eg I reckon Swans will do a lot better next season.

Would love to know who the 4th elite player is and who the poor player is

And Adelaide were rated number 2 for 2019, hopefully we go a little better in 2020 than they did this season.

Rance is a pretty handy recruit for 2020, and with Stack & Pickett getting full pre-seasons in their supporters would have enough reason to be optimistic.

Probably Hunter as the 4th. The poor one is hard cause we don't know for sure who they'd have in the best 22

No Hunter, doubt anybody could have picked all 4:

WESTERN BULLDOGS (4)

Marcus Bontempelli (Midfielder)

Matthew Suckling (General defender)

Jack Macrae (Midfielder)

Caleb Daniel (General defender)

Looking at some of the players classed as elite compared to those missing is truly bizarre:

I would say POOR would be Cordy. Beaten in too many 1-on-1's from the stats I remember.

I would suspect the 4th elite would be one of:

Hunter, Crozier, Daniel. Probably Daniel based on kicking numbers.

Oh totally forgot about Daniel. Makes sense.

Re: Champion Data rates us second best in 2020

Interesting that they have North ranked 6th and Brisbane ranked 11th. Surely North are extremely over rated whereas Brisbane are under rated (based on last season).

Re: Champion Data rates us second best in 2020

That Brisbane ranking alone undermines the validity of the whole shabang.

Us at #2? Come on.
