RFC site says "Ben Nason, who also made quite an impression in his debut season of AFL football, as a hard-running, small, high forward, has moved from No. 47 to No. 22"

too tired to explain
I would rate our best and fairest a 10
then 2 players a 7
The rest fall under 7
As a team, we failed, so you would think that the majority of players perform well below expectations
therefore 5 and under is where the majority of players would sit.
in comparison, most Collingwood players would be rated a 5 and over, with at least 10 players 7 and over.

So you apply the same criteria to all players - especially first year players ?

And I suppose it depends if you think we failed as a team? Certainly the win/loss ratio says we failed (again) but I think as Club we are finally on the right track.

I think jack is right with his criteria as once a player steps on the field they ALL should be judged on the same criteria. In terms of their future and potential other factors come in such as age, experience etc but if Nason's season was worth a 7 and i think he was in the 12-16th best of our players then 11 players are getting a 7 or higher and that is certainly not reflective of where the team is at currently. The majority of our list AT THIS TIME did deserve a 5 or lower i would think. We lost 16 games so in those games a lot of the other teams players played better than ours so i dont see how many of our players are scoring 7 or more.

I was impressed with Nason i must say this season for a first year player but holding all players (ours and other teams) accountable to the same scale when they walk on the field i can't see his season rating higher than a 5.
