Just thought I'd pass on that this is happening now as it's approximately halfway through the season. Changes will happen now as we've started an AFL season pretty much right as our season started. A lot of players will be increased - not too many nerfed for now (4 games + a pre season is enough of a sample to judge improvement as opposed to just temporary good form imo but not enough of a sample to judge decline in most cases) Anyway if anyone wants to chip in suggestions of players who've improved/declined drastically this year then post in here and I'll have a looksie. So far Shane Mumford Adam Treloar Oliver Wines David Swallow Jackson MacRae Dion Prestia (enough to get a small rise) Dyson Heppell (enough to get a small rise) Matthew Jaensch Nathan Jones (enough to get a small rise) Cale Hooker Sam Jacobs (enough to get a small rise) Ben Cunnington Stephen Coniglio Tom Hickey Farren Ray Brodie Smith Ed Curnow Mitch Duncan Luke Parker (enough to get a small rise) Brad Hill James Frawley (enough to make him a relevant fwd) Stephen Hill (enough to get a small rise) Curtley Hampton Isaac Smith Matthew Rosa (enough to get a small rise) Jackson Merrett (I don't believe he's listed on here anyway?) Clint Jones (he's proven he can be an okay offensive option when not tagging) Steven May Jared Polec Jack Gunston (enough to get a small rise) David MacKay Matthew DeBoer Liam Picken (see: Clint Jones) Alex Fasolo (enough to make him a relevant defensive option) Dom Tyson Jack Newnes Leigh Adams (enough to get a small rise) Liam Shiels (enough to get a small rise) Luke Dahlhaus (enough to get a small rise) Ben McGlynn (enough to get a small rise) Chris Yarran Matt Jones Cam Guthrie Jesse White Dane Rampe (enough to get a small offensive rise) Xavier Ellis George Horlin-Smith (enough to get a small rise) Nick Haynes Laclan Hunter Jamie Cripps Jon Patton Sam Day Luke Breust Jay Schulz Matt White Blokes looking at a decline Ryan O'Keefe Marc Murphy (he's been so shite this season it's enough to at least take him out of the elite bracket) Dale Thomas (see Murphy) Mitch Robinson (he's just not very good anymore) Jarryd Blair (he's done enough to indicate that he's not going to get back to his form of a few years ago) Jon Brown ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Feel free to debate any of this, btw.
Probably the best way to help me out here (as I've posted a lot of players; it might be hard to just think of additions to the list) is to look at your own CPL list and point out anyone that I've missed - and have others to 2nd/3rd etc. Declines are pretty obvious though; they stick in the mind.
No idea who has them but I reckon Sam Gibson and Levi Greenwood have both picked up their games a bit as well.
aaaaaaaaaaand it's all done. Solid 12 hour effort there. should be good for a round of simming tomorrow and for god's sake we're having a round of simming on friday too. something's gotta make that god forsaken day interesting.
