FWIW, Murphy has 55 votes for the season.
Murphy has votes in 14/21 games this season.
Mitchell has votes in 12/21 games.
Murphy had more total votes than Mitchell from R3-R14.
Some stats NOT from the coaches votes.
Murphy has more kicks, marks, goals, inside 50's and goal assists....and less clangers than Mitchell. And he has 4 less wins than Mitchell making it harder to get votes. (Not many players from losing teams get top votes), Murphy is averaging 30 touches a game.
Conversely, Mitchell has more handballs, disposals, rebound 50's, clearances and tackles. Mitchell is averaging 36 a game.
To me, that suggests Murphy is getting more of the ball forward of centre and Mitchell is getting more of the ball in the back half, including a lot more 1-2 handballs. Murphy also has a slightly better Disposal Efficiency despite Mitchell preferring to handball first, kick second.
Half the player?
