The EFF stat stands for Effectiveness not Efficiency..

 
You should be sorry because it stands for Efficiency.  ;)

Go to the Game Stats Live and hold your cursor over EFF%.  :)

No you are wrong (and I am sorry correcting grammer got me kicked off one forum) but EFF stands for Effective.

Check the AFL site, check the herald-sun (the hard copy paper), check the dictionary.

Effective  - producing a decided, decisive, or desired effect

Efficient   -  producing an effect, product, etc. with a minimum of effort, expense, or waste

 :cheers

This is the HTML source code from the Herald-Sun. It is "Efficiency".

 <th scope="col"><abbr title="Efficiency %">EFF%</abbr></th>

And they actually are using the 'efficient' meaning in their stats. Efficiency percentage - how efficient is a player's disposal. What percentage of their disposal do they not waste. 

Become a maths lover '65. It's rigorous, consistent and logical unlike the English language lol  ;).

Just means some programmer some where got it wrong.

Check the actual paper (the hardcopy pieces of paper). The legend at the botoom says EFF - Effective

Disposal: when a player in possession of the ball rids himself of the ball by hand or foot. An effective disposal finds a teammate. An ineffective disposal misses its intended target or ends up with an opposition player
