Then Hurn gets 50% of his disposals by kick out. Always thought he was overrated. This proved it. Sure he’s a great kick, but for a guy his size, he’s pretty soft
Me and my Mates (Some eagles there too) were very surprised later that night when we found out he had won the medal, definitely hadn't seemed like a 33 touch game, tbh wasn't really any standouts from that game, Taberner could have been if he kicked straight

it used to be you had to kick it to yourself, then the next kick was counted... iirc joel bowden famously had himself as his dreamteam captain and was playing on every time he kicked out lol.

if its just run straight you get a stat they'll need to change that.
Hurn and to a lesser degree Tom Stewart are the only ones with significantly bigger numbers as a result of the rule changes iirc, Hurn is averaging 4+ more disposals/kicks a game

Thought he was average too. He wasn’t his usual best. So had overinflated numbers. Feel like they should not count the kick. I mean it’s 15 m head start, run up and hit a target. Disposal Efficency also goes up.
