Strange article , would typically take Matt white a fortnight to knock up 30 possies  :shh just going on facts, others might see it different

Lets see! as I understand it they have rationalised each player against 30 possies, this is what I don't get, how can you?.... if it takes say Matty white nearly three games to get them whereas Brandon Ellis nearly averages that per game. If my Aunty had gonads she'd be my Uncle.

Effective disposals vs non-effective. Metres gained. Goal assists. And others. It's pretty easy to paint the picture. All the statisticians at the ground look at these and other measures.

What about % of time on field, how many disposals prior to the first one, position played and contested v non contested.
I could imagine it's a lot harder for B.Ellis to continually hit targets when he's running through the midfield all day every day racking up kicks whereas Matt White sits on a half forward stuff getting the odd kick now and again.

That being said, Ellis' kicks have been absolutely awful as of late :banghead

Well we all seen high impact Matt White at his best.

FFS didnt even give a highlight reel moment

Even the dumb poo commentators can see it and said that if the team isnt performing neither is Matt White
