Foley stuck up a big FU tonight to everyone who said his career was over.

Without being amazing 40 touches in a game of AFL football would suggest that your probably consider "back".

half his disposals were useless
worst 40 possie game i have ever seen, he cost us many scoring opportunities and created goals for the lions

stats and possessions mean jack poo, nahas only had 26 touches and his game was 50 times better than foleys

Define "useless"?

40 possessions at 83% effectiveness with 8 clearances plus 4 tackles.
16 contested 28 uncontested.

Stupid post.

Great to hear he put in a solid performance, he wasn't far off doing it to those that believed in him.

[Hellenic Tiger]

I thought many of his touches were not deadly in that they cut the opposition up or set us up to break the lines but 40 touches is 40 touches and at least he got his hands on the footy that much. Good signs nonetheless.

Axel is missing that "deft touch" at the moment but it was an extremely encouraging performance nonetheless.

Still only 6 games back from almost 2 years off

Exactly, 6 games in the boxes to tick is playing out a game of football and proving he can adapt to the different style of AFL if there is any difference compared to when he last was consistently fit.

40 possession game ticks that box for good.

He directly set up our first 2 goals.  Watch it if you don't believe me. 

He may have had more, but I didn't pay as much attention after that, since I was at work.  40 possessions is nothing to scoff at.

your only as good as your last game.

A good game. Set up a goal in the fourth I think with a clever chip. Some of his long handpassing was very good.

i seen that
also saw how he cost the the chance to kick more goals with his skill and decision making and also saw him gift some to th elions

he gets alot of the ball for little impact

as i said nahas 26 touches and played a much better game
and jake king with less than 15 touches had more impact and influence

quantity of stats does not equal quality of stats

[Judge Roughneck]

16 contested poss.

What a spud.

[FNM]

He was good
Where's the encouragement ppl?

[Stripes]

Creating a terrific midfield with Foley getting better by the day

I am interested to know how they define "effectiveness" & "clangers" to be honest?

Because if you mark the ball and then play on (stupidly) and as you are getting tackled you handball the thing to the ground so you dont' get pinged for holding the ball and it ends up being a ball up what is it? How is that classified? It's not a clanger and IMHO it isn't effective, it is a "nothing" so how does that impact a players stats?

He directly set up our first 2 goals.  Watch it if you don't believe me. 

And unfortunately in the 3rd qtr he directly set up at least 2 goals for the Lions when they had their run on so they almost cancel one another out to be honest

Look I thought as the game went on Foley got a lot better but some of his "nothing" disposals as I call them hurt us.

The 40 odd touches didn't impress me as much as Guy McKenna but then again Guy has much bigger things to worry about then I do
