Other stats of note.
Sandi - 23 HO's to 13 from WC. (Cox only 9, but considering his foot, understandable. 6 Clearances to the big boy.
Heath Black - 10 errors from 15 disposals and 5 frees against.
Peake - 8 errors from 17 disposals

Rhys Palmer - 24 possessions 0 errors (Hmmz, let's think about the reliability of that one?)
Mayne - 13 possesions, 0 errors, all uncontested, but alsoe a couple of 1%'s
Josh Carr - 8 tackles and Byron 6
...and Mundy creates a gap in the space/time continuum with 25 disposals with only 1 contested.
Most contested possessions - Pavlich 6
Most 1%'s - Dodd 10, Grover 9 and Josh Carr 8
Most bounces - Peake 8 (every one an error by the looks ), Byron 7

Clearances:
Sandilands 6
Palmer 5
J.Carr 4
Warnock 3

1st Possessions:
Sandilands 5
J.Carr 5
R.Warnock 4
Palmer 3

Anyone seeing a pattern?

All i'm saying is i hope to god they don't drop Warnock....the twin towers result in clearances. Also Palmer rules

 

[DockerNJL]

Interesting to note the 20.1% disposal errors,

Way to high, need to improve big time

On a positive, we pretty much broke even in the clearances

 

[Lach72]

We had 71 errors.
Peake and Black had 18 of them. Hmmmmmmm. Almost 25%.

 

[Lach72]

Incidentally, just had a look at Melbourne vs Geelong
Errors Geelong - 105
Melbourne - 130

Over the Year we have only made 16 more errors than Geelong, but have made 50 more than our opponent totals.
They have made 72 less than their opponents.
Pressure, speed, tackling maybe?

Pretty much what Sandi was achieving last year - just missing P.Haselby at the top.

Don't frees against count as errors?

 

[pinkus maximus]

where do you find disposal efficiency stats from?

i've noticed a few people bring up palmers 58% disposal efficiency to try and discredit his game

 

[Scotland]

I was at the game and thought a) Palmer's use of the ball was very good (ie better than 58%) and b) 58% efficiency would have been very good for a player involved in that game.

Free kicks 29-26. 55 is far too many. The game would have been better with 10-20 of the kicks that were paid were let go.

I wonder if Sandilands goal in the final term to seal the win was counted as a clearance, seeing as he took it straight out of the ruck.

West Coast.........Attribute........Fremantle
188.1cm.............Height............187.9cm
88.8kg...............Weight............89.0kg

In bold is my favourite stat from the weekend's game. Oh, but we're so old and over the hill.

Thats right Scotland. Morons who didn't even watch our derby or even aware of weather conditions fire of this stat.
Agree with the free kicks. Bad calls went both ways. Guess the umps were aware how fired up and rough the previous derby was so they clamped down.
Palmer just has to keep string good matches together to sweep away the nuff nuffs.

I think its first possession AND a clearance in that case.

 

[Belnakor]

I didn't really notice the umpires myself - i think it was pretty even across the board.

 

[Scotland]

The umps weren't smashing one side over the other, they just paid too many kicks overall. Let the game flow and save the whistle for the frees that need to be paid IMO.

Yeah, I found that during the period where WC came back a bit, the umpires were gifting you free kicks. Couple of iffy 50m penalties. Funny how the commentary goes silent when you get a bs decision against Freo. Jacko too busy touching himself to comment on the bad decision.

Guess that's life in an ex-Eagles dominated media environment.

Would have been a good 30 points or more if the umpires didn't help you in the 3rd.

Ok, then.

I was at the game and hence didn't listen to the TV commentary, nor do I really care what they had to say. To be honest I'm more interested in talking about the games and how my team is going than what people in the media think.

I'm not going to question your opinion on the umpiring either. Off the top of my head there are at least 800 better uses of my time.

No worries, I just thought you were interested, because you spoke about the game not needing so many free kicks etc...

I reckon the game would have been a better spectacle if the whistle had been put away more. I prefer games where the free kick count is around 15-10 instead of 30-25. Personal preference really, I just don't think awarding every soft kick adds much to the game.

I'm not interested in discussing the merits of how much the umpires 'helped out West Coast' on the Fremantle board, though.
