Brownlow Medallist
How many marks does he get for his F50 targets? How many uncontested marks does he take inside 50, and how many do the team take?Many people say stats are overrated and I generally agree. But take into account a couple of things for 2017 season
- Ranked 9th for accuracy
- Ranked 17th for I50
Levi ranked 3rd for contested marks, 15th for marks I50. A fair effort, for less opportunities compared to his cohorts
Get the ball forward more often and we will be more competitive, pretty simple
He jams the place up because of his combination of his strengths (contested marking, leap) and weaknesses (agility, mobility, read of the zone, kicking technique).
In the NFL, you can have a guy at Levi's stats playing anything from the primary wide receiver role through to a situational tight end depending on their ability to process and react to the game around them. He would very much be a situational tight end.
In the AFL, he's at best a 2nd forward, but probably a 3rd forward who flexes to the ruck role as required. Given that's the case, I'd rather have Jack in the team than Levi.
