It will be interesting to see if Voss tries to shut down such players more than Matthews did...

Is this in order or just the 25 best unranked?

If it's the former then Ablett's game against us at 13 is a bit farcical. Also, where is his game against West Coast?
 
3) Corey Jones vs Richmond, Round 2:
7 goals 2,
19 disposals - 11 contested possessions.


5) Lance Franklin vs Essendon, Round 11:
9 goals 5,
18 disposals - 12 contested possessions.

Shouldn't this be the other way round?

Only one against North:D, i thought Sandi's game against Geelong would get a mention?

2 for and 2 against isnt that bad i guess.

No wonder the Swans lost in Round 5 with both Ablett and Bartel both having amazing games.
 
surely this doesn't need explaining again

It was over 3 years...

It still doesn't change the fact they had the best forward line in the league ranked 16th.

Maybe they shouldn't have it over 3 years, what's the point of having a stat if it isn't meaningful and tell you something?
 
You'd presume but you wouldn't know as I'm just going off the stats he's given?
Also you'd have though the extra 2 goals would still be more valuable then clangers are detrimental to the overall score, depends on how many clangers though I guess.

And we were still in that game at 3/4 time


Of course it didn't hurt that Geelong kicked 1 goal 11 behinds over the middle period :cool:


Bit of trivia.....Chrissie Amphlett was sat directly in front of me during that game wearing her Geelong membership cap :p
 
And Franklin would have had more clangers you'd presume, thereby dropping his ranking lower than Jones'.

I'm not sure how they make up the stats, but Pro-States have Jones with 1 error, 5 free's for and none against, with 7 goals 2. Franklin had 9 errors, 0 free's for, 4 free's against with 9 goals 5.
