North Melbourne 2024 List Analysis - Ft Dylan Alexander Follows Draft

[@seamusb9012]

I love how footy youtube gives the smaller teams good analysis and discussion, great stuff

[@GameOmaticAlt]

Incredible and in depth analysis of north, hope video explodes

[@WoodenSpoonData]

haha cheers, always a little hard to tell if YT's gonna like what I have to say

[@DylanAlexanderFollowsDraft]

Awesome work Woody! Thanks for having me on!

[@WoodenSpoonData]

Cheers mate thanks for the help, It was good chatting with you!

[@paradigmystic3123]

Excellent analysis guys, best I've come across, thanks. Gives me more of a clinical understanding to where it's at with the Roos and where, how and who it needs to be, in '25.

[@WoodenSpoonData]

@@paradigmystic3123 Thank you very much, that’s a huge compliment! Will have more North content in the early new year so keep an eye out, also videos on each club before the year finishes if you want to watch some others Thanks again!

[@TrueFootyAFL]

This is unreal mate great stuff!

[@ShadowLight-kn7rl]

Just Subscribed! Really liked the analytical work behind this! Plenty of rationale and forward thinking to what North needs moving forward. Interesting to see your content across the off season.

[@zballer45j15]

Gonna sub to him now just coz he’s a north fan

[@michaelcleaver-z3p]

Well done Woody, 😊you should sell it to the Roos, so many stat's.

[@WoodenSpoonData]

@@michaelcleaver-z3p I’m open to renumeration haha But seriously, thank you, glad you enjoyed it!

[@Fiasco3]

North's selection/drafting team let them down time and again, even when spoon fed top draft picks. It's clearly obvious to everyone that North Melbourne desperately need another mobile tall forward or two. This isn't a new problem and hasn't been addressed even with top draft picks in over a decade. The next major point of concern is North's complete lack of depth in Defense. Combden was a good find and Archer is developing, but if they get hurt or leave the ground then all hell breaks loose. 'No Defense, no flag' doesn't matter how much you jam talent into the midfield.

[@benmologousis1233]

Great Roos analysis. You called it on Roos getting one of Whitlock Twins 🙌

[@WoodenSpoonData]

@@benmologousis1233 Cheers mate, Dee’s aren’t too far off!

[@benmologousis1233]

@ can’t wait!! 🙌

[@benmologousis1233]

@ Dees best preseason team - subject to change McVee May Lever Rivers Petty Salem Langdon Petracca Windsor Turner JVR Tholstrup Fritsch Johnson Pickett Gawn Viney Oliver Int: Chandler Langford Bowey Sparrow Next best: Sharp Lindsay Wakefield Howes Melksham TMAC Taj

[@WoodenSpoonData]

@ Pretty close to what I have. Similarly to the Eagles review, I’d say that fwd line is too tall, also it’s hard to predict Johnson’s output so he wont feature heavily in my projection.. Probs out just before or after Chrissy.

[@KillerCol]

Awesome stuff mate would love to se a Carlton list Analysis

[@WoodenSpoonData]

Will have a Carlton list analysis coming not long after the draft

[@AlanSmithee69420]

Great video!

[@WoodenSpoonData]

Thanks for having a look, glad you liked it!

[@phuckos]

McDonald in our midfield 😂

[@gustaaf1892]

North's midfield lacks defensive capabilities and also lacks a big bodied mid. That's one of the reasons North is still too easy to score against.

[@StMaanco]

When are you doing st kilda

[@WoodenSpoonData]

@@StMaanco it’s coming, will be a bit after the draft

[@michaelcleaver-z3p]

I've sent it on to Ian and Oscar, they want one on Hawthorn. 😊

[@greedypenguine3947]

That would of taken for ever

[@WoodenSpoonData]

@@greedypenguine3947 wasn’t a 5 min job that’s for sure haha

[@StMaanco]

Would it be better to look at players from a stregths perspective as well as average. Above Average players - may not be top line players rather good ordinary players. Top players I imagine would have really good stats in the top echelon for certain areas - and potential poor / average in other stats

[@WoodenSpoonData]

@@StMaanco certainly can look for the best of the best in specific areas and that concept will be something that I address in a holistic review of building a competitive club.. Will have that video out after each club is done, so probably early new year at this rate. As a little precursor, you’re not far off what I would call a ‘Pinch-hit’ type player, it’s built off a baseball term for a player that comes in to do only one job but do it well. In AFL it’s hard to carry too many pinch-hit type players in a side, because of many aspects of our game but the main problem becomes when you bring in a specific player to fill a statistical deficit, if that player is not at least average in every other key statical aspect of their role you’re essentially robbing Peter to pay Paul and need to continue down the route of getting another new player in to fill any newly created output voids. Hence if you’re comparing the output of 2 players, one with many aspects slightly above ave vs one with some very high stats and some very low stats, it’s better to have as many aspects as possible slightly above average as you can’t fall down a bad cascade effect.

[@Howsthat-xq3sn]

👍

[@nadkilaz8534]

Sub only because of NMFC supporter

[@TwoCrabsAdventures]

Surely target the flying viking

[@WoodenSpoonData]

Reasonable chance I'd say.. Draft Prediction video coming tomorrow if you wanna see more 👀

[@TheJuicyjunk]

No thanks

[@iqweaver]

15 small / medium forwards and 4 midfields. That is a recipe for disaster.

[@WoodenSpoonData]

Yeah fair call, numbers aren't everything but I just wasn't seeing tons stats wise from Scott or Phillips, I think you can cover the missing minutes with rotations from Sheezel and Parker, also to a lesser extent Daniel and McKercher.

[@quark4567]

This is surreal. Content for supporters by supporters, chopping the middleman agendas and nonsense. Good work.

[@lex3191]

This was really great! Can you do this with Carlton and @pommyinoz

[@WoodenSpoonData]

Glad you liked it! Love Pommys work! I'll struggle to get a Carlton specific video done before the draft but will have one out not too long after, keep an eye out for it, might have a guest for it too :)

[@lex3191]

@ actually it’d be great to see it after the draft! Exciting draft group

[@WoodenSpoonData]

@@lex3191 yeah seems to be a fairly deep first round or so that’s for sure!
