Title: Richmond is 3rd worst for scoring differential from kick-ins (Foxsports)
Post by: one-eyed on August 11, 2021, 05:35:32 AM

With help from Champion Data, we dive into the stats behind kick-ins in this week’s Champion Index.

...

Richmond, led by Jayden Short’s poor differential of -56, is a worrying 16th.

How about they show us scores from free kicks for a change so we can really see how rooted we're getting

The most glaring point in these kick out stats is that only two sides in the league are in the positive!  Ultra-defensive chippers like Geelong will work the ball up the ground with scores of uncontested marks (while boring us to death with sideways & backwards kicks), but teams who roll the dice & try to create will lose possession more often.
Also, several players share the kick outs.  Houli would kick out more often than Short, then Balta was getting a fair share too. 
And yes, umpire intervention in these possession chains from a kick out would significantly skew the results ....    ::)
