What does the top end of each club’s “Games Played” list suggest about that club heading into season 2023?
Stray Thoughts and Observations
- Is Matt Crouch on the Defenestrators’ list next season?
- One last premiership push before Coniglio and Mitchell exit their primes?
- How many games will Sam Walsh end up playing for this club? 73 and not yet 23.
Stray Thoughts and Observations
- This group trends quite old. I imagine we’ll see some new names here this time next year.
- Is Brandon Ellis the least glamorous 100+ game player at any club?
Stray Thoughts and Observations
- It’s great to see some of the older heads on this list be rewarded with finals these past two seasons after a few years in the doldrums.
- If I asked you how many games Oliver Florent had played, how many would you have guessed?
- Will Oliver Florent get to 100 games at the Vipers?
Stray Thoughts and Observations
- This group of 5 screams premiership push.
- Surprising to see Zac Williams this high given his numerous absences in recent years.
- What a pickup Jack Steele has turned out to be.
Stray Thoughts and Observations
- This group screams “guiding the new guard as we rebuild”
- Andrew McGrath with 90 gmes at a 76.90avg. Disappointing?
- Is Andrew Gaff on this list come 1 January 2024?
Stray Thoughts and Observations
- What a testament this is to the startup draft the Chiefs had.
- They have an additional two players who have played 100+ games for the club (Whitfield and Adams). They also only recently traded away Grundy.
- Group is starting to age – will there be a world soon where the Chiefs aren’t walk-up contenders?
Stray Thoughts and Observations
- They’ve cut this to the bone haven’t they…
- Cameron in the top 5 despite only having played 23 games. Only top 5 player who has played many more games at another club?
- Christian Salem is absolutely not who you want at the top of your games played list.
Stray Thoughts and Observations
- They really have been building over numerous years now. This list doesn’t feel too dissimilar to that of the Chiefs – it’s just 2 years behind it in games played (and about 2 years behind it in average age)
- They traded for every player listed here.
Stray Thoughts and Observations
- This group of 5 feel like a group entering their prime. Well placed for that long overdue finals push?
- Rozee averaging less than 70 – starting to see that investment pay off.
- Highest rep has only played 60 games. Completely moved beyond their inaugural list.
Stray Thoughts and Observations
- How has this team not played finals since 2018?
- No seriously, what is that about?
