Can you believe Stanton leads the AFL in possesions year to date in the season......??????

Re: Standon - The AFL's most elite midfielder!!!

Can you explain the correlation between the number of posessions and being "Elite"?

Thanks.

Re: Standon - The AFL's most elite midfielder!!!

Taking the p**s......!!

 

[Astute Observer]

Typo - but thanks for that Marcuz....

 

[monty1104]

Interesting that the next 6 after Stanton play most of their time in defence. What does that tell you about the state of the game today.

 

[monty1104]

And BTW, Stanton leads in kicks. Scotland and Judd both have more possesions.

Absolutely correct - also good to see young James up their again in possies.....!

That went straight over your head...thanks to astute for fixing his typo.

Read it a second time and made the appropriate correction.

C'mon Donsman - that's like a ticky touchwood free kick!! Let us supporters bask in some loose level of sunshine!!! (Albeit tongue in cheek!!!)

 

[monty1104]

Well we can all bask in the fact that Stanton has the most elite feet in the AFL

 

[KING-JAMES]

Stanton is underated, if he played for say Sydney everyone would love him but no one likes Essendon apart from bomber fans. Seem's to get better every season and his kicking is far from bad these days

 

[Astute Observer]

Maybe I should edit the heading then!!!!

 

[bhorjus]

I dont think hes the AFL's most elite midfielder, but i have no doubt he will be up there amongst the best very soon.

 

[SIR SAINT HOTDOG]

And BTW, Stanton leads in kicks. Scotland and Judd both have more possesions.

and Simpson, Bartel and K.Cornes but Stanton is a great player and will only improve.

judds leading with 200 um statons kicking is shocking overrated

Re: Stanton - The AFL's most elite midfielder!!! (by foot)

He's also the 2nd leading goalscorer on that list and the most accurate so his kicking can't be to bad unless he's spraying alot so wide they dont even register a point.

 

[DaSawx]

His kicking is getting better and better, I get excited when he's running through the middle with it, is using much better.

Even kicked a goal and hit a target with his left against the Hawks, confidence is rising.

I notice lloydy has looked for his right boot again

 

[dave_27]

Would like to see him load of up from 50 and have a ping more.

He's got a long penetrating kick when he wants to use it.

 

[Philzsay]

bloody glad we picked him up a few years ago, can't imagine how worse we would be without him.

Actually, Scotty West is leading with 211

Re: Stanton - The AFL's most elite midfielder!!! (by foot)

His consistency has been very impressive. His next step is to really put his stamp on the game and start dominating.

 

[pro_punter]

Re: Stanton - The AFL's most elite midfielder!!! (by foot)

He is $251 to win the Brownlow and $63 to place. Might have something on him. Hopefully Essendon start winning some games.

 

[bring it on]

i have been saying this for a while...

i think he will end up being the next captain of essendon and will win a brownlow within the next 5 or so years

 

[jnash196]

Stants will definately poll well in the Brownlow when we start winning games. Got 8 votes last year in a team that won 3.5 games. According to my screwed maths, he should get 40 votes if we win 17 games
