AFL Player 5: Elijah Tsatas

If your impact per disposal is low then a lot of disposals are needed to have impact. If you’re aiming to reduce the number of disposals a player has then that player has no business being a professional footballer (rucks might be the exception)

That’s not true at all.

There’s a relationship between volume and efficiency where typically the higher a players volume of possesion is the lower their efficiency becomes.

It’s often equates with more often being forced to take more challenging/low percentage options.

It’s why stars are so special because they typically have high efficiency at high volume.

If Tsatsas usage doesn’t allow him to be a star that’s fine but he needs to find a way to impact games in a neutral or better way by doing more things then just disposing of the ball.

I reckon you'll find the reason why less efficient players like Tom Mitchell are tolerated at the AFL level is they rack up obscene numbers, not because there's any inherent relationship between disposal count and efficiency.

So crazy that it wasn't identified as a major issue when I identified it off 3 minutes of highlights... the kicking action was just horrendous even then

RFK needs to go

I’d say it’s because contested possessions and especially Hard Ball gets that are incredibly valuable (which contributes to overall disposal count but that’s a derivative number that has little actual value) and Mitchell was racking up >10CP a game with his peak being 16CP and a good amount of it was hard ball.

You can afford to be more wasteful (in efficient) as a team when you are generating more attacking possessions (as in times when your team has control of the ball) then the opposition.

nuke the hanger.

 

[Mercurial89]

Someone has gotten something very very wrong somewhere.
We can't even evaluate the talent at AFL level before it gets injured.

 

[Beerfish]

Well this is just getting absurd.

Barham or Vozzo actually need to issue a statement. This is unprecedented and alarming. It obviously won't change anything, but they are supposed to be in charge of a professional organisation that is looking like an absolute clown show.
