Johnson needs a long holiday!

the trouble is , missed targets dont always get counted as errors or clangers, those stats can be misleading

Suprises me that Jackson's is so high considering he doesnt touch the ball that much 

Perhaps too many people rate this kid, but he may actually be just an average footy player.

I think you also have to take into consideration the amount of games and the amount of game time players are getting when looking at some of the figures.

The ones I found most:

1/  Pleasing is Deledio 21 games, plenty of game time, reasonably high posession count per game and very few erros per game - that is a major positive

2/ Surprising is Chris Newman in that his errors per game is so low. That's mainly because he's been cut up a few times this season against opposition smalls - had a few goals kicked against him - that abviously doesn't get included in ther errors but it stays in the memory

Duncan's error/disp % = 101.00

  @ Duncan's being greater than 100%. He was so talented he could make 2 errors out of just one disposal  .

That's true X. There'd be some grey here but in terms of blantant obvious clangers, Johnson isn't a significant offender.

That's true as well WP. Just one clanger for players averaging less than 10 possessions moves their error percentage around alot more than a midfielder with over 20 disposals. I was going to only include our main midfielders but after seeing Thursty's low error stat I decided to chuck in the whole list. Everyone there has played at least 5 games to minimise one-offs so Pattison wasn't included for instance.
