I have got Buddy Franklin in Supercoach,as i'm sure many here do, and read with mild shock that he can accumulate 6 kicks, 2 handballs, 6 CLANGERS and kick 4 goals straight. Mmmmmm i am wondering whether he might have levitated two of his disposals through the goals by means other than by foot, or by some other wierd method. He was hit with 2 frees against, but that stat takes the cake.

He scores a 4-goal 56 in a very tight game with the Pies, and his 4 goals i'm sure were a considerable foundation for the Hawk's win. Jarrad Waite by the same total kicks 5 goals and scores just 71 in their massacre by Freo, so i can see that his goals were fairly ineffectual in the overall result of the game. But i am sure there's not an AFL coach who would prefer say a Josh Drummond with his cheap and meaningless backline follies that score 130+ over a Buddy who kicks 4 in a big game that gets his side over the line. But the original question remains...How does a guy have 8 disposals, kicks 4 goals and have 6 clangers???
 
a clanger is defined by champion data as 'a stupid act'...this means that u dont have to have a disposal to record a clanger...

this was mentioned by triple M's statman (the chewman) one arvo ago when a similar conflict of stats arose...i think when rocca had that shocker vs the demons...

for example when buddy took that bounce running into goal and stuffed it up - CLANGER
 
This has been done before...

The frees against would be two of the clangers.

That means his 2 handballs and 2 kicks that weren't goals were all clangers.

So it actually makes sense (although I don't necessarily agree with the methodology of free kicks as clangers, because of the double penalty).
