Do you wish you had kept Heath Scotland.....

Yet has the highest number of effective kicks in the AFL, and his kicking efficiency is at 80.7%.

There needs to be a stat for the efficiency and effectiveness of his direct opponent, which I'm pretty sure is the reason he found it so hard to crack into the Pies side on a full time basis.

"In 2006, Scotland has averaged 26.8 disposals a match - ranked fourth in the competition behind a fairly handy trio - messrs West, Goodwin and Judd. He has gathered 30 or more possessions in five matches this season, while he has not won fewer than 24 disposals since round three.

He has also produced the most effective kicks (259) in the game this season. He hits targets 80.4 per cent of the time and his kicking efficiency is 80.7 per cent, which is above the AFL average.

Debunking the notion that he is getting cheap kicks across half-back, Scotland is ranked seventh in the competition for combined inside 50s and rebound 50s. He has a total of 137, which indicates he is covering plenty of territory.

In uncontested possessions, Scotland has amassed 387. That puts him second in the league, while he is also ranked second for handball receives (233). So he doesn't win the hard ball you say?

Wrong. He is ranked second at Carlton in contested possessions (124) and his 54 hardball gets are the best at the Blues.

Overall, he is ranked No.1 at Carlton in disposals, kicks, handballs, effective kicks, long kicks, short kicks, hardball gets, uncontested possessions and handball receives. Also, he has been the first link in an unbroken chain to a Carlton goal 23 times - also the best at the club and 15th in the competition. "

Who cares, he wasnt good enough to get a game at collingwood, yet hes good enough to be one of the best at your club. Is that because our team is playing finals footy and yours is looking at the spoon ?
