Chappy, some stats I posted over on Cats Claw about the team's skills.

I've calculated the percentage of possessions made up of errors for each player.

26%        Matthew McCarthy
21%        Kent Kingsley
20%        Charlie Gardiner
18%        Brad Ottens
17%        Nathan Ablett
16%        Cameron Mooney
16%        Gary Ablett
15%        Matthew Egan
14%        Andrew Mackie
14%        Steven King
13%        David Wojcinski
13%        David Johnson
13%        Kane Tenace
12%        Steve Johnson
12%        Tom Lonergan
12%        Shannon Byrnes
11%        Peter Riccardi
11%        Henry Playfair
11%        James Kelly
10%        Matthew Scarlett
10%        Will Slade
10%        Tom Harley
9%        Jared Rooke
9%        Tim Callan
9%        Joel Corey
9%        Paul Chapman
8%        Corey Enright
8%        Jimmy Bartel
8%        Brent Prismall
7%        Darren Milburn
7%        Mark Blake
7%        Joshua Hunt
7%        Cameron Ling
5%        Matthew Stokes

As you can see, Woj is far from the best but still better than or as good as the likes of Ottens, the Abletts, Mooney and Mackie.

These stats are pretty rough and ready but are about as good an indication as your going to get.

I think your view of Woj is a bit over-blown. I can see why you'd get the impression his skills are no good - I often think he has troubles hitting short targets. But the reason it's not so much of a problem is that he kicks long and direct most of the time. His classic play is to grab the ball, dash 15m and kick 50m to a contest. Because of this it doesn't matter so much that his skills aren't top notch because he executes a play that doesn't require pin-point skills.

Chapmanmagic35, I'm interested to know who you would say has a greater impact on a game: Ling or Wojcinksi? Kelly or Steve Johnson?

Good or bad impact? Arguments could be made either way there.........

And i'm still waiting for you to show me where i blamed the players you mentioned.....hurry along.

I'll have a go - Steve Johnson first, Wocjinski second. Easy.

For negative impact, Ling.

Yeah, obviously, I'm with you 100% with those two ahead of the other two. Don't think chapmanmagic35 feels the same.

Actually my biggest concern with Wocjinski isn't his disposal - because it's no worse than some of our other players. My main gripe is lack of peripheral vision. It's great that he takes players on, but sometimes he'll break a tackle and get brought down by a second tackle he didn't see coming. If he can eliminate that from his game, he'll be one very useful player.

And if he, Tenace and Byrnes were in the side together, suddenly we wouldn't look so slow.

Does Tenace even have pace anymore?

Does Tenace even have pace anymore?

I would think so, but he needs to be in the seniors for me to find out. Thanks to our selection committee, that wasn't always the case.

Totally agree!

You didn't answer my question.
