Marchbank- have barely sighted him in the last quarter barring one handball and just then getting pushed out of bounds but still his score climbs 1 point in nearlly every refresh of fan footy has scored 15+ for virtually nothing. Not complaining though he's in my side
Think in one sided games like last nights his early points get him those extra points for doing nothing. As the game went on and the closeness kept going out all the players earning good early points continue to get the "extras". Just my 2 cents worth.

Ok let's take this one apart.


Hannebury
8 kicks 15 hand balls (11 contested) 69.6% DE
No marks
2 clangers, 3 clearances, 8 tackles
0 goal, 0 behind, 1 goal assist
84 DT: 112 SC

So in summary: no late game scaling like Bont, poor handball:kick ratio, average disposal efficiency at best, little scoreboard impact, yet scored 112 on a losing team?

Compared with

Treloar round 1
20 kicks 15 handballs (11 contested) 72.7% DE
8 marks
5 clangers, 6 clearances, 3 tackles
1 goal, 0 behind, 0 goal assist
125 DT: 96 SC

Game was on the line too.

CD really need to explain how Fyfe can be on 124 in the final minute of a game decided by a kick, get 2 effective contested clearances and a tackle, and only finish on 126 post-scaling.

Watching Bont vs. Freo a few weeks ago, if he did that it would've easily been a 20 point play in such a game.

Freaking hell... Scaling Fyfe down by 4 when the game was there to be won :mad:
The thing is, 2 minutes left, Freo 1 point down, Fyfe's 2 contested effective clearances+tackles effectively made him go from 125 to 126.

If this was Bont 50-BANG-225 sc pts.

Nah but CD's always right, how dare we challenge their scoring?!

Those complaining about Fyfes scaling, you may or may not have noticed that he was massively overscored in the first half of the 4th quarter. Something like 25SC for only 3 handballs.

My guess is that him going from 130-126 was a correction, an unwanted correction for me as I have him captain

Seems very plausible to me.

11 contested possessions: 11 x 4.5 = 49.5
8 tackles: 8 x 4 = 32

So that's 81.5 points before we even count the points for the actual kicks, handballs, 1%ers etc.

Except tackles aren't worth 4 points. Contested possessions arent worth 4.5 points each...

I am getting sick of reading these complaints about the points scoring every week.

Champion Data's Ranking Points (supercoach points) are derived from 50+ stats, which they havent even revealed the full scoring system for!

Yet week after week people are pulling out 10 different stats, arguing that a player has been underscored/overscored and that their score cant POSSIBLY be right as it doesnt match the 10 stats that they have pulled up?!

I apologise as this post probably belongs in the rant thread, but I felt it is probably relevant in here aswell.

Your not the only one! FYI that's why we have moved all discussion about point scoring into this thread and trying to take it out of the match day and other threads, so that one can quarantine oneself from it all.

Alright. Let's use the table. Let's use the scoring criteria (tackles=4 points, contested possessions=4.5 possessions which you seem so sure about)

Treloar round 3-108 SC
15 tackles=60 points apparently
11 contested possessions=11x4.5=49.5 apparently
1 goal+effective kick=12
That's a total of 121.5

Are you saying the remaining 27 of his disposals (albeit low DE) is worth a total of -13.5?

I mean you surely you can't be serious.

Nice "it was published in an article it must be true" attitude.

- By using Champion Data's comprehensive rankings system of over 50 different stats, player rankings are the most accurate way to determine how effective a player has been. You can be sure that a high-scoring player is giving his team maximum value. Unlike other stats systems, Champion Data will not simply award a point for each kick, mark or handball. For example, while other games will award points for a kick no matter how far it goes or where it's directed, Champion Data will award zero points for a kick that travels less than 40 meters to a contest.

- Instead, teams of trained statisticians will assess the state of the game, the pressure on the player and the result of a disposal or possession to determine a score for that action. In many cases, players will lose points for a disposal or action that allows their opponents back into the passage of play.


These two paragraphs are pulled straight from the point scoring section on the Supercoach website.

I feel they are especially relevant when trying to work out Treloar's scoring.

It's the basic starting point to constructing one's SC points.

Please feel free to go forensically go through Hannerbery's game tonight and actually make your case.

This is exactly why I'm a huge CD sceptic. CD turns what could be a very interesting aspect of the game (analytics) into a bit of a joke. Yay, secrets stats and formulae that no one can access or analyse/evaluate (meaning that, for all most of us know, some of CD's work could be highly questionable).

One thing I've always been curious about is when a player is under duress and kicks the ball directly to the opposition or out on the full. Is this counted as a clanger or an ineffective kick? Similarly, when a player kicks the ball down the line to a teammate, and through no fault of the kicker, his teammate is outmuscled/falls over himself/trips, and the opposition marks or gathers the ball, is this too counted as a clanger?
Any kick directly to the opposition or out on the full is clanger, irrelevant to whether or not the player is under pressure.

With the second case, most of the time this will simply be an ineffective, although if the kick is long (40+ metres I think), it will still count as effective. They can never get 100 % consistency with this though, especially if someone trips over or something, because it's hard to work it out in the heat of the moment.

I'm not sure.

The one I've been wondering about is when a player takes a mark in the goal square and has a gimme shot directly in front, no distance, totally shanks the kick missing the goal but still scores a point. Is it an ineffective kick, or is it an effective kick because it actually registers a score for his team?
I think Naninaki has it right, going by the quote from CD. Although I've never actually seen someone be awarded a clanger for a behind (it's a rare occurrence though, so could easily have missed them all).

I actually think this is a clanger. Can't remember where I read it but for shots directly in front, 15m out or closer, under no pressure, if the player misses what would be a "gimme" goal then its counted as a clanger. Someone can correct me if I am wrong! Same applies for dropped marks under no pressure.
Found this quote from Champion Data which would also suggest behinds in certain rare circumstances could be considered clangers:
I think THINK, judging from previous discussions here and elsewhere, you *certainly* get points for a 'ground ball get', irrespective of whether or not a following disposal is made. Don't know about generally. Would doubt it.
Just watching the point scoring, especially for guys like Dahlhaus, who are constantly at the bottom of packs, it appears as though they're not awarded the CP when tackled. This is probably because it's too hard to tell who's had possession when there are rolling mauls. I think if someone runs out of bounds or siren goes though, then they do get the points.

Ok let's take this one apart.


Hannebury
8 kicks 15 hand balls (11 contested) 69.6% DE
No marks
2 clangers, 3 clearances, 8 tackles
0 goal, 0 behind, 1 goal assist
84 DT: 112 SC

So in summary: no late game scaling like Bont, poor handball:kick ratio, average disposal efficiency at best, little scoreboard impact, yet scored 112 on a losing team?

Compared with

Treloar round 1
20 kicks 15 handballs (11 contested) 72.7% DE
8 marks
5 clangers, 6 clearances, 3 tackles
1 goal, 0 behind, 0 goal assist
125 DT: 96 SC

Game was on the line too.
Hanners:
approximately 5 effective kicks = 15
approx 11 eff handballs =11
8 tackles = 24
11 CP = approx 35-40 depending on field position
11 UP = 11
1 goal assist = 3 + any behind assists not publicly available
1 1 % = 1
2 clangers = -6
TOTAL = 94 to 99

He was a lot better in the first half, when the game was won, so could easily become 100-105, but I'm honestly not sure how he got to 112! A few behind assists, or a few more effective kicks (fewer effective handballs) would both be logical explanations.

Treloar round 1:
approx 11 effective kicks (remember he sprayed the ball by foot that game) = 33
approx 11 eff handballs = 11
11 CP = 35-40
23 UP = 23-27ish (depending on whether any were intercept marks)
3 tackles = 9
1 goal = 6
5 clangers = -15
TOTAL = 102-111

Once again, however, Treloar dropped out of it in the second half, this time when the game was won, which could easily have seen his score drop by 5+. Given he finished on 96, that seems about right.

CD really need to explain how Fyfe can be on 124 in the final minute of a game decided by a kick, get 2 effective contested clearances and a tackle, and only finish on 126 post-scaling.

Watching Bont vs. Freo a few weeks ago, if he did that it would've easily been a 20 point play in such a game.
He went up to 130. The scaling down to 126 would've been correcting an error from earlier in the game.

The Point Scoring table in the help section of the SuperCoach website, plus the article on how supercoach points are scored in the opening post of this thread both state that they are...
The some bizarre reason, the scores listed are what the scores are like in a time of high weighting (ie. when the game is won). Everything is in correct proportion, but every score is too high (eg. Kicks are 3 not 4, HAO are 4 not 5, etc).

Alright. Let's use the table. Let's use the scoring criteria (tackles=4 points, contested possessions=4.5 possessions which you seem so sure about)

Treloar round 3-108 SC
15 tackles=60 points apparently
11 contested possessions=11x4.5=49.5 apparently
1 goal+effective kick=12
That's a total of 121.5

Are you saying the remaining 27 of his disposals (albeit low DE) is worth a total of -13.5?
