AFL Rd 8 2023 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs Brisbane

[PaulP]

Every week we see the same names pop up about who should be dropped. I wonder if they match the names of the players who committed those turnovers?

Total Turnovers

Walsh 7
Hollands 6
Docherty 5
Acres 5
Pittonet 5
Young 5

I don't generally keep track of which player commits which atrocities on game day, but I understand your point. I'm a little surprised seeing Young's name there, but the others not so much, principally because of the position they play. If you're a mid / winger / ruck, you're pretty much wearing real heat for 4 quarters, so they tend to have less time to dispose / distribute, and I would imagine across the competition they would have a lower DE and higher turnover numbers.

Also surprised not to see Cripps' name on that list.
