I'm not saying Seb has definitely been better, but his disposal is a lot better than you're giving him credit for. Comfortably our most reliable kick imo, ahead of Billings, Newnes and Roberton
I haven't watched a lot of St. Kilda this year but on the weekend I'm pretty sure I remember the commentators saying he had a 0% Kicking Efficiency in the first quarter or most of it on the weekend.

My comment was probably more relates to Oliver, but in terms of hurt factor I'd still take Murphy. His side step and delivery inside 50 is elite

He's one of the most underrated players in the comp but I don't think his touches hurt the opposition as much as rival midfielders do who are also in the running for spots, similar to why I wouldn't have Taylor Adams in the team despite being statistically brilliant. It's good to see he's finally becoming a consistent footballer, and he's an extremely handy third mid.
I'd say he's quite damaging with ball in hand actually. Best kick in the team and his forward 50 delivery is very good.

Rance is #1 in the league in 1%ers (spoils, smothers, shepherds, knock-on) per game and #2 in intercept possessions per game.

Franklin is #1 in the league in score involvements per game and #3 in goals per game.

But yeah, they're just getting by on reputation :rolleyes:
its because the bombers are on a hurley>rance crusade and are offended by whatever things rance does
