A Sad Statistic

Melbourne have just the one player in the Top 50 Contested Possession per Game index, Mark Jamar.

I'm not sure this is necessarily the best indicator of performance. For example, St. Kilda do not have a player who is doing better than Jamar in this area, and NM have a heap of players included in this index, yet they still perform badly. Further, Collingwood only has one player in there, and he just scrapes in at 47, so it isn't the end of the world.

Jeez, you're right

Yet St Kilda have 4 on the list as do Geelong. If there was a minimum 6 games qualification we'd have none. I had noted Collingwood's anomalous performance. Probably something to do with creeping along the boundary.
