2019 AFL Rd 1: Carlton vs Richmond at the MCG: Post Game Passion

[Shakin77]

At 61.1% DE? As I said I am over him. At one stage in the 1st qtr I think, SPS and Garlett approached the footy on the ground and they both appeared to slow right up and look at the ball, look at each other before one picked it up. For mine that was a good look. Look I don't know what his role is, I'm just a mug observer from over the fence. But to me, his role certainly doesnt involve:
- Body contact
- Picking up a man
- Putting his nose over the footy
- Tackle an opponent
Loves to guard space, lots of it in fact. Pretty good at it too.

I would be careful quoting DE% numbers

Martin 63.3
Cotchin 51.6
Walsh 54.2
De Goey 50
Treloar 61.8
Selwood 52
Dangerfield 59.3
Dahlhaus 66.7
T.Kelly 67.7

Defenders chips it around and have good numbers.  Midfielders often bringing the ball inside 50 to a out number.
