From what I'm aware- clubs certainly like to have 2+ metres gained players . Helps to springboard off half backI wish I knew. The clubs obviously believe these stats are important in some regard, otherwise Champion Data probably wouldn't collect them. I'd also think that certain stats are clearly more important for different types of player. The Crows hierarchy are clearly not too concerned that Talia doesn't put up big metres gained for example...
Internally - pressure acts are massive and are highlighted in team meetings . And forward half pressure acts are even more highly rated considering the want to lock ball in forward half and create repeat entries
Haven't heard much about intercepts other than commentators saying that they think the WC model was built on them last year and that pyke may be encouraging guys like Talia to go for their marks more and win the ball back
Certainly looks that way - I think Talia had 8 marks on weekend (only 2 intercept marks admittedly but that's still up) and Hartigan's intercept stats would be massively up on last year when he was a 'punch and run' player with a more defensive mindset
