AFL Rd 4 2022 Post Game Permutations Carlton vs Gold Coast

[Thryleon]

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.

I dont see Voss praising him getting to contests as a negative when he would prefer we win them.  Every player needs to be judged relative to their capability.
