Interesting perspective but I think we will have to agree to disagree on this one.Jy Simpkin and Clayton Oliver AFL Stats Comparison

How about comparing Simpkin's 2021 to the guy who won Melbourne's? Its not that different. The only big standout is the difference in contested possessions. And I mean, he's 11kgs lighter than Oliver so its a bit harsh to expect him to be as much of a contested bull.
I mean outside of that contested possessions, there's not much of a gap that you might expect to be covered by shifting Simpkin into a team with significantly better quality around him.
Oliver's possessions are way more damaging and his game impact is way higher I think.
