David King can be off the rails at times, but he also has some useful insights.
On AFL360 on Wednesday he discussed the issue of Scoring from Turnovers.
Over the past 5 years, the teams that score 55 points or more from intercepts have a 71% chance of winning the game. This number jumped to 90% with 60 points or more.
In 2017, Richmond (premiers that year) averaged 57 points from intercepts as did in West Coast in 2018(reigning premiers).
Over the last 4 weeks, West Coast has gone to 58.5 points from intercepts and Collingwood have fallen to 36.0 and GWS 28.5.
King’s closing comment on that was don’t worry about West Coast, they are building. On top of that, they get NicNat back and once he gets used to the 6-6-6, he will dominate because he is the person that will most benefit from the rule change. (or words to that effect).
