Yes they are. That said in recent times more an more players ar having seasons averaging in the high 20s or so. Last year Lachie Neale set the record for most disposals a year and this year Tom Mitchell looked to get that comfortably.Where do you pluck these numbers? Thats Priddis Brownlow type numbers isnt it?
Gaff is a prime example of this as well. I can't think of many pure outside playes having that much easy getting the footy, even tho his inside mids don't get him the ball.
