Player Grades 2022

[older saint]

Open it up for discussion but here are my player grades for the 2023 season.
I have used the mark of what i would have thought was the general expectation from the player for the year and where the performance actually was. 1-Well below, 2-below, 3-Expected level, 4-above, 5-Well above.

Coffied N/A inj
Jones 2
Gresham 2
Crouch 4
Ross 4
NWM 4
Hill 3
Steele 3
Hannenery 2
Clark 2
King 4
Brynes 2
Geary NA
Billings 2
Butler 2
Windhager 5
Ryder 3
Marshall 3
Howard 2
Long 4
Higgins 3
Bytel N/A - inj
Owens 4
Kent 2
Battle 4
Adams N/A
Membrey 3
Webster 4
Allison 1
Lienert 4
Wood 4
Paton 3
Highmore 2
Sinclair 5
McKenzie 5
Connolly 2
Campbell 3
Joyce 2
Heath NA
Sharman 2
Wilkie 4
Peris NA
Hayes 5.

Obviously its based on how i rated players before hand also, e.g wasn't a huge McKenzie, Wood or Long fan at the start of the year. Expected more from the likes of Brynes, Highmore, Billings and Jones. Expected some development from Allison.

Can't argue with that. Pretty much my thoughts, with these exceptions:

Jones 1
Billings 1
Byrnes 1
These guys didn't get anywhere near the level expected.

Highmore 4 - Had a very good season for Sandy, didn't get what he deserved.
Campbell 4 - Same as Highmore.
Peris 4 - Not saying he had a massive year, just pleasantly surprised by what he continually showed. He'll be judged by this level next season.

I’d give Ross a 5…
Thought that was his best year by a long way outside of his B&F seasons

Gresh I thought was maybe a touch tough. I’d have gone a 3. Was good and then faded before injury.

He’s one play who I think would really benefit from being rested the odd week or 2 throughout the year. Emerging pattern seems to be that he starts well then fades.

Agree with most of that list

Pretty fair assessment but I'd give Wilke a 5

Thought Peris was very ordinary

Hardly touched it in most games

I think he had 18 possessions in his last game.

He's only slight and first year against men. Cat B isn't he? I think a good development year going into another pre season. Has shown enough in my opinion.

Good chance to win the grand final sprint if the Saints enter him.

Differences for me would be-

King 3. I don't believe he performed above expectations.
Marshall 2. Had a disappointing year compared to the lofty heights he has reached previously. Maybe partly due to carrying an injury.
Higgins 2. I thought he was disappointing at times to what he has shown in the past.
Webster3. Maybe even a 2. Still disappoints me with his erratic disposal. Fortunate he had no one challenging for his spot.

Giving Hayes a 5, based on his four and a half games before injury as opposed to a 2 for Hannebury for his 2.75 appears to lack objectivity to me. More a case of low expectations v over expectations.

Do you watch any of the games - behind Windhager & Owens he showed the most of any of our other kids. He had some rippin games and I'm confident he'll make a quality AFL player.

Jack Bytel say hello.

I wouldn’t call Bytel a kid but I’m not sure that Peris showed more than NWM.

Exactly what this was about. To me I had Hayes as a Sandy player who may play a little if injuries piled up. The fact he not only played 4 games but contributed in those games was well above expectations.
Hannebery i had expectations to get at least 1/3rd of the seasons games out of him. While he performed well in the 2.75 games he played mean in my eyes he under performed badly.

All subjective
