So I'll try a short version.
Effective disposal stat's are not accurate. Best way to be effective is to kick long to a contest and you will be at 100%. It bares little resemblance to how good a player is using the ball
Add to the fact he had the least amount of contested possessions on the ground, thus under the least amount of pressure.
Yes I agree that effective disposal stats are dodgy and disposal stats themselves aren’t particularly meaningful. However, they are the only comparative measure we have, apart from one’s memory and the replay.
My memory tells me that Boyd’s disposal was generally good. It stuck in my memory because it was such a contrast to his previous games.
That said, I’m not really sure what he brings to the team. Vossy praised him for getting to contests but I’d rather have someone who wins contests.
