Don’t think it’s that odd MT. As has been brought up again since Friday’s performance we have let the oppositions mids rack up disposals. Most obvious case was round 19 win vs Collingwood when our best had it 22 times while collingwood had 4 players with 30 or more.
I guess TK I just don't rate accumulators who have no decisive impact on the game especially when their side loses whereas a player in the winning side may have had less disposals but was crucial to setting up the victory. Cotch got bagged for about 4 years for racking up cheap disposals yet other players at other clubs are lauded based purely on boosting their disposal stats. Sidebottom's impact in the Prelim was immense but not just because he has 41 possies (thanks to us not tagging him
). He cut us to ribbons with every one of those disposals.
