I don't know if a player in double figures for disposals has ever had a 80% clanger rate before or will again. That is remarkable. I can't see how we can keep him in the team based on that alone. Experienced player too.
You have a few things wrong with this statement.
Firstly, he did have 10 possessions and he did have 8 clangers.
However, not all clangers come from possessions.
He actually went at 50%, not 20% as you suggest.
He had 2 Free kicks against, which count as clangers.
FWIW...
Quote:A clanger in Australian rules football is a term coined by Champion Data founder Ted Hopkins which refers to a turnover or a silly mistake made by a player. Its vague description in statistical tables is "errors including frees against".
