Correct. In my eyes anyone picked up for free or extremely late in the draft I don't really expect to make an impact. If they do it's a bonus.LOL. The bar you set for a ‘great’ game is extremely low.
There should be an expectation that that SOS recruited group would have contributed more than 7.5 games on average per player before leaving the club. But then again, you think that’s perfectly acceptable. Because they were ‘free’, right?
It's just a weird stat to talk about - I have literally never heard anyone mention 'average games per delisted players in each club'.
Further looking into it, it actually makes no sense why you're bringing it up?
Hawthorn delisted 6 players all recruited under the current regime, and 4 of them played less than 13 games. The other 2 played less than 50.
WCE delisted 9 players (not including Chris Masten as he was recruited under an old regime), the average games played was 9, and 5 of them didn't play a game. So I assume WCE list manager needs to be looked at?
I cbf looking through every other team but considering this groundbreaking measurement you have spotted feel free to do so.
I'm glad we are not giving games to blokes not up to AFL standard, there are 44 players on a list and there'll never be a time where every single player is senior AFL standard. I'd be annoyed if we pumped 18-20 games into players and we end up delisting them, would rather give the games to kids who will be on our list long term, which we are doing.
