Priddis 9 clearances, 16 contested p's and a beast at reading the play in congestion. No possible way he wasn't part of the reason we won and at least top 5.
The shunning of him abuse on this board is bordering on absurdity and has me questioning how many here have actually played football before.. and up to U/14's doesn't really count. You would realise how overrated footspeed actually is and that it's all about positioning and reading the play, something priddis is truly gifted with. Also 2-3 wobbly kicks in no way means you've had a bad game.

I had him in my positives because he played within himself, he was a clearance machine and blocked for our other more skillful (by foot) players on the outside. I'm still not sure he'd have been in my top 5 but he was a top 10 player.Priddis 9 clearances, 16 contested p's and a beast at reading the play in congestion.

Yeah that's a fair call and I'd agree. My post was more in response to those who actively bag him without realising his specific role in the team, his strengths, and the fact that us winning the I50's largely starts with the midfield and taking advantage of first use from stoppages and congestion.I had him in my positives because he played within himself, he was a clearance machine and blocked for our other more skillful (by foot) players on the outside. I'm still not sure he'd have been in my top 5 but he was a top 10 player.
I didn't think there were many players with flawless games today though.A lot of rose tinted glasses with yeo I think
He was good overall but poor early. His clearance work (and strength) was heartening but I don't think he was top 5 today
If he plays like today I've got no problem with him staying in the team, and I'm not necessarily talking about getting high possessions at high efficiency. Today he took the game on and was actually attacking and creative with the ball rather than holding play up and taking the extreme safe/defensive option. Completely different player to his usual style.5. Sam Butler - 96% efficiency, 2 goals and 28 possessions playing defense. And some on here think he's got nothing to offer.

Honourable mentions to McInness (great debut), Kennedy and Priddis.

Genuine question where do you get these stats for score involvements (assume you don't mean goal assists?) and score projection etc.? Most sites have only basic dataOn today's game I gave bias to first quarter and first half form. Priddis won most of his nine clearances in the back half of the game. Most of our damage was done in the first quarter.
I also give bias to goal involvements and score projection. Because that's where the game is heading and you need to watch football through antiquated lens to thing otherwise.
