Handball Received
An interesting stat
Don't know how much it means because we all know that the Saints are ineffective with their handballs, but:
When Richmond handball, then run and dispose of the ball they average around 600 metres gained each game
St Kilda - effectively - Zero metres gained.

Re: Handball Received
Usually hence the metres gained being zero - but I am so surprised that we gain NO metres via handball received.Milne wrote:And often when they handball it's to someone under pressure causing an immediate turnover.

Re: Handball Received
Mate its very relevant because it shows how our use of handball going backwards and sideways just invites pressure. Often this is followed by a turnover or a scrub kick forward. Our ball movement structures are completely ineffective and highlights how poorly coached we are.Sainter_Dad wrote:An interesting stat

Re: Handball Received
We handball backwards out of packs to often which is generally to the oppositions advantage as we miss the target.

Re: Handball Received

Re: Handball Received
What's the source of this? Around 600 and effectively zero don't sound very statty.

Re: Handball Received
597 metres gained was the stat that they were talking about - it was from a discussion that I had with a colleague - they remember seeing it - but do not recall wherekosifantutti wrote:What's the source of this? Around 600 and effectively zero don't sound very statty.

Re: Handball Received
sounds like a champion data stat to me - so someone with access might be able to confirm
Stonecold seems to have high level access so might be able to help out
However I dont really need the stats to confirm what I see out on the field
Anyone who watched the tigers vs pies game on the weekend can easily see the difference between the best sides and what we offer
Just watch the last quarter to see some superb examples of Martin and Cotchin releasing handballs to team mates - that were running forward AND in clear

Re: Handball Received
The other interesting stat* was elevation of < = to Sea level was achieved; the high float hospital style was matched by the straight to your toe style. Hard to anticipate, gets the opposition confused.

I’ve posted this before but really feel it articulates the game style problem...

Re: Handball Received
So basically we use handball as a defensive tool instead if an attacking weapon to break the lines.
The rest of Australia can wander mask-free, socialise, eat out, no curfews, no zoning, no police rings of steel, no illogical inconsistent rules.

Re: Handball Received
And Hawthorn were the only team with a negative (-37) metres gained from handballs.
As ex-president Peter Summers said:
“If we are going to be a contender, we may as well plan to win the bloody thing.”
St Kilda - At least we have a Crest!

Re: Handball Received
I reckon Brereton is correct that the Saints need to be sure that if the receiving player of a handball is sat flatfooted there needs to be outsiders calling for another handball. The kicks just fail and are a given turnover. The second person to handball should be able to develop time to hit up someone with a kick only if directed by others in the team. That's coaching and leadership that seems to be missing being replaced with panic.
Midfield clearances and clear winners are needed to make an effective forward line.
