The fact that you've framed your article around his stats only goes to show that you have absolutely no idea what the more serious Priddis critics actually criticise. No one has ever denied his ability to find the ball and his ability to stand-out on a stat sheet, so you're entire post is utterly pointless and irrelevant in regards to the actual criticism I've made of Priddis over the years (feel free to look it up. Or E87's.) We know he can get the stats against the good opposition, or the bad opposition or whatever, we all know that. Unfortunately football isn't played on the stats sheet. His flaws aren't as exposed against poorer midfielders. His flaws (slow decision maker, poor disposal, lacks dynamic clearance ability, doesn't put guys in space or the best position, terrible defensively in any sort of space, slow to dispose of the ball, liability when opponent is spreading, and genuinely not having the inside mid brain of the best mids, etc) are massively exposed against good teams, and have been over the course of his career, despite his stat sheet looking similar at the end of the day. He's a plainly average footballer and largely devoting our stoppage structures around him over the last few years has made our midfield worse.
I did indeed argue in both 2011 and 2012 that Kerr was our only midfielder to match it with the opposition's best midfielders and stand up consistently in the finals series. He was immense in those games. Priddis was very average and got towelled up against Collingwood twice. The other mids couldn't match it either.
