Jfc!! If a player coughs it up with turnovers and clangers he'd be more valuable to the team if he got zero possessions.

AFL player ratings compare not only overall ratings but ratings within each game. Billings is a very important player for us overall, as is Sebby, but in last weeks game I think they were poor

I don't think Billings was poor, rather down on his output/effectiveness, as were virtually all players except Butler and perhaps Carlisle. Poor is the shocker Jack Steven had.
Thanks for the reminders re player ratings per game. They actually confirm my statement "As for Billings, certainly wasn't the worst, still had 16 possessions"
- many players were below Billings in ratings, and he DID have 16 possessions. (at 81% efficiency)

He did have 3 clangers, but he also had 3 clangers vs bulldogs, but got more possessions & scored. 6 turnovers this week vs 5 last week. Go figure. Gained more metres than BOG Steele Sidebottom. I think I'll take Billing's output for the match rather than zero possessions.

That's enough stats for me, they can be very misleading. I prefer just to watch the game, even with the sound turned on, but the statometer turned off. Try it.

As poor as hill and hannebery?
No. They were terrible. Sebby had a poor game and
Zac Jones also had a stinker. Didn't want to put his head over the footy.

Heard there were some very sore bodies going into the game. First game after 14 weeks only 5 days prior took a fair bit out of them.

They were happy to take their match payments

If they were sore, they should put their hand up to be rested. We have good depth and guys screaming for opportunities
