Stats are a garbage argument

[CURLY]

Oppo players virtually inches away from intercepting the footy.

Not virtually inches away from player

There's arms, shoulders, hips and other body parts touching CURLY.

Watch the replay

So no contact.

Daicos had 3 contested possessions in the first 5 minutes. Not one was he in a contested situation. The way these stats are measured are just not a true indication of a player.

Especially a player leading the votes for the AFLCA award and just about everything else

The coaches are rating all his contested possessions incorrectly.

Please show me a quote from anyone doing votes saying they gave them votes for their contested possession numbers.

No mate.. Daicos has footy in hands...there's arms, shoulders, hips and other body parts touching ...they nearly intercept his disposal

Once again... your bias excludes you from seeing reality.

Watch the replay

It's not complex CURLY. Most of us agree with your general premise. That's not the issue I had. As St Dave has said to you. Read the abc article.

I've been posting for years about the difference between some possessions and others.... I got shut down by some forumites when I criticised Sebby's stats in 2019...then I did the same regarding Brad Crouch last year.

What I did though...was I highlighted specific passages of play...I didn't start a thread talking about crap in general about no one in particular

I disagree with what you regard as contested what’s your problem.

So what you are saying is you believe a contested possession should be a possession won in a contest, not a player taking possession and disposing of a ball that is contested or in dispute.

Fixed it for you Curly:
I disagree with what the AFL industry regard as contested what’s your problem.

Nothing has ever been more true.
