No dodgy Stats or dodgy use of Stats will change anyone's mind about that, especially not a Stat as dodgy and subjective as HtA!Oh the irony.
Just an objective 14 contested possessions, dare I say it most of them momentum changing follow up 2nd efforts to a ruck contest that set Cripps, Dow or Hewitt free when it really mattered. ;D
For someone who complains about the hitout to advantage stat so much, you highlighting the contested possessions stat while completely ignoring the DE% stat at least shows you are true to form.
Kruddler: What good is a hitout if it it goes to a 50-50 contest or turn it over?

Its great TDK got so many contested possessions. Now if only he could find a teammate with them. Like his ruckwork, its basically useless. It helps the opposition as much as it helps us....so why are we celebrating it? 47.1% DE, that means over half of his possessions did not advantage us at all.
Add in the numerous dropped marks throughout, especially at the death, 3:20 to go, 1:20 to go (i think) and he let slip 2 opportunities to win us the game. The first cost us a shot on goal. The second allowed them to get the ball I50.
Quote:@Kruddler your anti-TDK rants are just becoming largely irrational, and if readers bother to follow up your claims by looking at the objective stats you might actually hurt Pitto because they might not understand the role Pitto brings not measured by a stat, or worse still they might believe the dud commentary from the likes of Barrett or Negropontis.Again, i've said this more times than TDK has played games. I'm not against him. I'm against his output He underdelivers.
People notice him because he is tall, blonde and can leap small buildings.....but he doesn't impact the game nearly as much as he should. You and the commentators can continue to fawn over him, but he hasn't lived up to the hype yet.
Objective stats? What stats did i hide? Contested possessions are not objective??? BS
