Taking into account off field details, Ill take the midfielder with a head on his shoulders.

And the one still playing AFL in a few years...
Clearly dont need a 'head' to be good in this game, exhibit A:

So now its Dustin Martin Vs Jason Akermanis! Well, Dustin gets my vote in this one, only just though. The mismatching hair/beard/mustache costs Aker the bikkies.
 
By that theory, Hurn is WCE's 13th best kick in their side.
No because then you are comparing him to players that play different positions so naturally % are not a relevant stat. The martin and rich one is relevant as they are similar players thus why they are being compared in the first place. Thought that would be pretty common to work out, guess not for some.

Fair enough, so Cotchin and Riewoldt being the worst two DE% on Richmond's list this year (apart from Elton and Connors who played very few games) makes them the worst kicking forward and midfielder in the Richmond side? I mean Cotchin's DE% is comparable to Rhys Palmer's (Cotchin's 65.51% to Palmer's 65.38%), so their kicking must be on par, both midfielders too.

My point is that using DE% alone to judge that one player's kicking is better than another is ridiculous.
 
My head tells me that Rich is slightly better right now, but I still think Dusty's got more improvement left in him.

I'll give it to Martin because he's dual-footed - I like that in a player.

Agreed, worst and most misleading stat in the game.

Agreed, DE% is an absolute gee up. All it takes into consideration is the ratio of times you hit the target, meaning 40 handballs hitting the target would like nicer than 20 long kicks of which a few go astray.

Efficiency =/= Effectiveness.
