Autopsy Post Mortem: Collingwood blow it again

[jackcass]

Think you're being harsh on Fas. He plays alot higher than Eddie Betts yet has almost had the same amount of shots on goal.

Nah, I'm happy with my assessment. Faz has had an average year. As I suggested, skewed by his early year yips and no doubt his health issues. I'm not saying that in a derogatory way, just as the reality. A good year he'd have an average of 1.8-2.0, a very good year 2.0+.

 

[jackcass]

Lynch, McCarthy, Watts and Stringer have had poor years to be honest.

Right.

Betts kicks half his goals from 20m or closer.

Are you sure??

Probably due to Fas being a longer kick and Adelaide having much better ball use then us but Betts regurly goes up the field to burn his opponent on the way back.

Also Betts has had more shots than Fas. Betts has 75 combined total of goals and behinds whilst Fas only has 55.

If he kicked at his usual efficiency he'd be averaging 2.0 a game imo. Its only his yips which have cost him.

Up until 3 weeka ago there was about 6 shots different. Fas spends most his time around 40-50m from goal.

So you saying they aren't in the top 4?

Just checked seems that they still are. Got me beat as to how

The reason you haven't seen me criticise Clarko is because he is by far the best coach of this generation. It takes him about half a year to turn things around, as opposed to six years and counting.
The reason why Puopolo is a regular is because under the salary cap system it's impossible to have 22 stars. It's the exact reason why Duryea, Schoenmakers,Bailey,Simpkin,Will Langford,Spangher,Young all have premiership medals.
What I said about Puopolo was very clear. IMO a goal per game is a poor average when you are provided with A+ delivery.

AND a player can play a role that the coach wants which may not necessarily be kick goals only, ie Puopolo is valued by the ace coach Clarko not only for his goals.
And you then carry on about Fasolo's goals average being poor but laud Clarkson even though he continues to play a player with a goal average less than Faz

 

[Da Main Man]

Marc Murphy and Taylor Adams have a similar ball drop when kicking.
Can one of the stats gurus please compare their kicking efficiencies out of curiosity.

70.3% vs 72.7%

Im not sure if this was all you were after.

 

[Anzacday]

Thanks Da Main Man I was just wanting to compare their kicking efficiencies, (as opposed to disposals).
Although it is an interesting comparison.

 

[jackcass]

Don't doubt that, but the fact he hasn't quite rightly reduces his ranking. Last year was the 1st time he'd averaged better than 1.6 GPG so that naturally elevates expectations.

Stop contradicting yourself.

Stop contradicting yourself.

good try but no, I'm not saying faz is about goals you were, that comment is about what you are all about goals, goals, goals.
