Fair enough opinion. Thought you dropped the word superstar. Got confused with a few posts above yours. My bad

Actually, we are a little more obsessed with players like Pav, Mundy, Barlow, Fyfe, Sandilands, McPharlin, Walters etc. But do go on please.

your right OP. Dangerfield must be shit too. or is it just that stats are hardly relevant compared to impact on game?

Terrible thread.
This is similar who bag on Priddis for his terrible DE % without taking into account the context. When you are blinding kicking out of packs by throwing the ball on the boot and hoping for the best, you cant expect to find a target every time. But that's the risk you take when it comes to clearances.
Dont get me wrong, both Fyfe and Priddis' are very average kicks, and Fyfe is a better player than Priddis. But give either player some time and open space and they'll hit targets.
Beau Waters on the other hand...couldn't hit a target if he had all the time in the world.

People bag Priddis kicking all the time and he is 10% better kick then Fyfe over the last 3 years. People never bag Fyfes kicking at all. Case in point, this thread
Is that not double standards?

Ideally this % would be better, but taking stats out without context rarely works. He clearly isn't a bad player despite the %.

He has the most clangers, intercepted kicks and his dispsal efficiency in uncontested situations is worse then his contested disposals. Its beyond one poor stat. Peoples failure to realise this is astounding
Yes. But in making the thread you simply make yourself appear to be uninformed.
Priddis has poor DE% so people use that argument to suggest he's a poor player, when it's not the case.
You are doing the same for Fyfe, when it's clear he is a good player.
The term elite is very arbitrary, its definition is different for each person. Is Fyfe elite? Hard to say, but you dont need to be a great kick to be elite.
Shannon Hurn is a elite kick but not an elite player.
Just food for thought.

No, hitouts are.

3 times in the 3rd Qtr he kicked from a tight contested boundary-side situation on his non-preferred. None of them were turnovers, but none was "efficient" either. He gained about 40m each time though. He could have taken the tackle & stoppage...
All of your stats that are your knock on him relate to the same stat. Pretty much universally people recognize how good Fyfe is, because he's bloody good. You don't Embers. That probably tells us how valuable your opinion on matters of Footy is.

It takes a special talent to be regarded as one of the best mids in the AFL and still be an ordinary kick. See Chris Judd and James Hird for reference. Fyfe would be West Coasts best midfielder and it's not close. And fwiw his disposal efficiency is partially a function of playing as an inside midfielder. I doubt many people would regard Ryan O'Keefe as a poor kick of the football despite what his de numbers indicate. On the other hand guys at WC like Gaffe and Masten would have significantly higher de because they skirt so wide of packs and get to dispose of the ball while under 0 pressure. What makes Pendlebury one of the best players in the AFL is because he has such a high de yet spends a lot of time around the packs.
I would have though a WC supporter would have understood the value of a good inside player seeing as other than Kerr you have 0. If Fyfe were at WC you would be comfortably in the 8 rather than preying to make the 8 on account of Essendon dropping out. Quality inside mids are and always will be far more important than the blokes who skirt on the outside.
