Autopsy Rd 5 Blues go down by 90 points

[mediumsizered]

I never really understand how all the AFL ratings work, but how does Cripps get something like a 12.5 for the Port game?
He had 37 touches. I know handballs don't score as well as kicks, but he had 14 kicks, 24 effective disposals, 18 contested, 7 score involvements, 3 marks, 5 tackles, 7 clearances, 3 frees for/0 against and only 3 clangers and 121 DT points.

The player who scored just slightly more than him, Aidyn Johnson:
14 disposals, 11 effective, 8 kicks, 5 contested, 5 score involvements, 2 goals, 5 marks, 1 tackle, 0 clearances, no frees for/against, 1 clanger and 67 DT points.

The guy who scored slightly less than him, Charlie Dixon:
5 disposals, 4 effective, 3 kicks, 3 contested, 2 goals, 3 score involvements, 2 marks, 4 tackles, 0 clearances, 0 clangers, no frees for/against and 47 DT points.

It just doesn't make sense.

Lies, damn lies & statistics.

One dissapointing aspect was we made Broadbent look like Andy McKay.

OMG we're up to page 32 of painful comments. Just couldn't bring myself to read your pain over the weekend.
Can't say I'm surprised about our blue boys.
I still reckon we needed players like Kerridge that can throw in their bigger bodies and run all day.
I look at the low possession numbers os so many of our players. You can't tell me that Kerridge collecting 25 disposals and kicking quickly to a contest is not better than someone getting 10 accurate possessions and with hardly no tackles.
Alot of our players look small in comparison. There is definetely a balance required. Get the games into the young players, but don't have them totally demoralised and indoctrinated as losers.
Was really happy with I saw in Charlie & Casboult. The players look spent.
cheers from Joe

Would have made sfa difference. At least a kid got a game in place of him.

Team high 2 contested marks? Hardly worth putting on a highlights sheet. Prob sums up our night if we can't find anything else to put there.

At least it's not most oranges at half time.
