There was some talk in September about how Champion Data will be introducing "pressure" statistics next year, but none of it concerned the figures scrutinised by Roos.
Basically put - I don't think anyone is doing the math. Or at least, not publishing it.
In the first quarter I counted at least 10 turnovers from Saints players under little or no pressure, in this order: Adam Schneider, Nick Riewoldt, Sam Gilbert, Nick Dal Santo, Schneider, James Gwilt, Gwilt again, Lenny Hayes, Riewoldt and Gilbert.
We bother to talk about tackles laid, but don't bother to count the tackles that were missed.After the Saints had been pressing for much of the second quarter, Brett Peake could have executed a basic handball to a teammate in the corridor, but he chose to kick wide and the ball bounced straight to Darren Jolly who kicked a simple drop punt to Brent Macaffer for Collingwood's fifth goal.
The Saints had their hands on the ball for each of Collingwood's first three goals in the third quarter.
Zac Dawson coughed up a reckless handball 15m out from goal straight to Chris Dawes for their first.
Hayes went third man up at a defensive stoppage and hit the ball straight down Sharrod Wellingham's throat for the second, and, finally, Farren Ray kicked the ball out of defence to Harry O'Brien's advantage.
Peake missed a tackle and ultimately the result was a Dane Swan crumbing goal to make it nine goals to one, and game over.
We count possessions but not turnovers. Why not?
Are these figures unimportant? If the modern game continues to focus on systematic zoning, tackling and pressure, I would suggest not.
Who are the heroes and villains of these uncounted stats?
