This is a fantastic point and what shits me the most in player rankings or comparisons (not just the Bergman conversation). Port are 17th in comp for possessions per game, so every player will average less than their opposition counterparts in the same position.He could rack up 20 disposals easily if we changed our game plan, slowed everything down and chipped around the back line like so many other teams. But the cost of wanting to win with an attacking, play on gameplan is that it’s working and we’re winning, rather than prioritising a heap of cheap uncontested sideways stats.
How does chipping across the backline or giving pointless 1-2 handballs make a player better??
Reminds me of Richmond during their dominant era where barely anyone got 30 touches, where I would've taken 20 from prestia over 30 of alot players racking up junk.
