Prediction 90+ possession...how many metres gained?

[Bearded Clam]

Final number is 543 meters gained

From 100 disposals

Average of 5.4 meters per disposal

Jesus *ing christ that is absolutely deplorable.

Of those 100 disposals how many actually benefited the team by putting a team mate to advantage of space or time?
Laird handballs backwards to a team mate going the same way as him and so the pressure builds, if he can sort that s**t out that would be great.

 

[weekend at bernies]

Laird at 1 stage had 25 disposals for 84m. Then got to 33 and 150m.

[Bearded Clam]

it was 17 for 3

17 disposals for 3m gained?…

 

[weekend at bernies]

its almost like they're coached to handball backwards.

If there was ANY selection integrity, Laird would be at HB this weekend, Crouch would be on the bench, Keays at HF.

Schoenberg, Berry and Dawson starting mids. Soligo to roll through with Jones, the latter either effective or dropped to SANFL

17 disposals for 3m gained?…

Yes. Sad really

Ahh, see VB has already shot this down.

It's about net metres gained now, so not just those disposals, you need to account for next players disposal.

He hasn't thought that through, because that number would be negative for Crouch.

Non-statistical metres gained lol.

I watched it with one eye and in the 3rd? I reckon I saw at least 8 handballs that moved the ball 3 metres

So - using the stats on the AFL site, which are slightly different:

Crouch = 28 disp / 102 m = 3.64 per disp
Keays = 30 / 213 = 7.1
Laird = 42 / 298 = 7.1

and...

Berry = 18 / 409 = 22.72
Soligo = 13 / 142 = 10.92
Schoenberg = 25 / 331 = 13.24

Now, we have to allow for the fact that Berry, Soligo and Schoey probably got a lot of their possessions in different spots with greater potential for a longer kick, but even so...

When Laird does kick it is usually around the body and it goes up 50m but only travels 20m.
