Hendo second to Smith by average.
Hendo's number are heavily padded by the Round 7/8 games against the Bulldogs and Geelong where he got a lot of it but was pretty shit (imo).
Round 7: 554
Round 8: 590
Round 9: 304
Round 10: 197
Round 11: 299

No, he got the ball, panicked, bombed long to our disadvantage and turned the ball over. Lots of metres, shit effectiveness. Disposal efficiency should rely on maintaining possession, and not just discount if the opposition intercepts or takes a mark.So he stood up in the "big" games against "good" opposition when plenty of his teammates didn't is my take on what you've put up there???

Yes of course they do, but that is my point. The measures are flawed. There are some players who are getting 85% disposal efficiency who hit their targets 85% of the time, that is, their targeted player takes a mark or at least keeps possession. That is what disposal efficiency should measure. At this point in time, kicking to a disputed contest counts as an efficient disposal. Henderson kicks to a contest and gets an effective disposal to his name, but it's not really effective. Do you see what I mean?Do the same measures, whether flawed or not, apply to all players?
If yes, your point is moot

Alternatively it could be that those teams clamped down on Smith and were happy to let Hendo run free knowing that he wouldn't hurt them anywhere near as much.No, he got the ball, panicked, bombed long to our disadvantage and turned the ball over.

So if smith kicks 50 to Tex in a 2 on 1, it's ineffective even if Tex wins the contest? Wonder how they account for bombs over the top into space.With regards to disposal efficiency
This is the definition:
Effective disposals are made up of effective long kicks, effective short kicks and effective handballs. An effective long kick is one that is 40 metres to a 50/50 or better for the team. An effective short kick is one that results in a teammate's possession who was the intended target of the kicker. A handball to a teammate that hits the intended target to the team's advantage is recorded as an effective handball.
And Hendo ranks top 5 for the club in DE.
He was always going to have surgery to remove the screws in his leg at some stage. The Hawks planned it so that he would do the preseason, get to have a taste with some matches, then have the screws removed and be right to go for a full preseason. I don't think the plan was for him to come back at all this season but I might be wrongRyan Burton a bit of a worry?

I agree. Just wondering if it's based on the setup or outcome of the contest.If Smith is kicking to a double teamed target, how much credit should he get for that?
Wouldn't he have been better off picking out the open man
