That bugs me in business ( KPI's ) too.
KPI's aren't results they are indicators. So are AFL statistics.
They may give you a clue as to what you are doing wrong, but you shouldn't be chasing the stats for the sake of improving the stat.
What is going wrong with St Kilda’s misfiring midfield?
Don't know if anyone has ever mentioned this, but apparently the Saints could have selected Petracca over McCartin.
Does anybody know anything about the urban myth?
There is to my eye a decent correlation between good 2021 teams and high total number of effective disposals.
Also conversely, there appears to be a decent correlation between weak 2021 teams and lower effective disposal totals.

Of course the fix isn't to simply try and increase this stat.
But it serves to highlight that in 2021 gameplans that revolve around hitting up teammates have a better chance of success than hit and hope bombs onto tall forward heads.
No but I asked him about whether we should’ve got Carlisle and he presented a seventeen page thesis on it.never heard this before... has anyone asked David King?
Never heard of either of them. Move on.never heard this before... has anyone asked David King?
Odd conclusion to draw that merely addressing our contested poss count would go a long way to fixing our performance.... given we practically broke even with the bombers and were utterly humiliated in that game.
Yes, the article then goes onto address our smashings in uncontested ball v port and bombers... but it's more an afterthought.
Just goes to show the dangers of trying to find fixes to problems solely looking at stats sheets.
The fix for our woes isn't in focusing on improving any particular stats... it's in improving how and when we pass the ball to eachother.
The best teams this year are putting a premium on maintaining possession- the total opposite of what we do, where we try and catch the opposition napping by banging chaos balls forward quickly.
Worked well last year, but the new rules have made it easier for sides to play keepings off.
Which is very bad news for us, because our choas ball plan has baked into its core high risk of giving the ball back to the opposition often.
Once we start valuing possession of the ball more (ie play keepings off too moving the ball up the field), suddenly our our stats will improve. It's completely wrong headed to try and improve stats to improve how you play.
Improve how you play, and the stats will reflect it.

Single spaced Helvetica 10pt.
very good pointEffective disposal "ratio " is important.
Imagine a team where, Paddy taps it to Steele, Steel unloads to Plugger, and Plugger marks and goals. Hardly any disposals. Depends on Steele winning a contested possession or clearance, and disposing of it well.
It wouldn't matter if the opposition team had 1000 times more effective disposals.
They might be chipping it backwards most of the time.
I always like the contested ball stat, because in a contest , if you don't win it, the opposition win it......i suppose it saves turning it over later.
JOM is a big out for them been playing OKSt Kilda regains veteran ruckman Paddy Ryder for that clash, while Jimmy Webster and Ryan Byrnes have also been selected. However, Ben Long, Jack Lonie and Jake Carlisle have been dropped, while Dan McKenzie is suspended.
JOM and Wingard out for Hawks.
SameExcited to see Byrnes in, disappointed to see Jake out.
Quite a change. Butler lucky.
Carlisle is a shadow of his former self.
We haven’t had much luck in recent years with guys being cooked much earlier than you’d like:He looked like he was battling last week. Couldn’t jump for marks. With the back spasms etc it would appear he’s on his last legs.

Its a shame. I’ve always liked what he has done for us. But no one goes on forever I suppose.
Kobby underrated playerWe haven’t had much luck in recent years with guys being cooked much earlier than you’d like:

And when that happens you lose them for little or no return.
Big part of the reason our rebuild has stalled.
