Rd 18: Post Game In depth Analysis and Soul Searching: Carlton vs Sydney

[Gointocarlton]

Interesting point GITC, does one therefore judge a player on their best game, their worst game or their "average" (given that average performance is an abstract concept and that the previous two states are what is delivered in reality?)... what they are capable of or what they normally deliver?

I think its probably a combination of:
1. Minimizing the gap between your best and your worst;
2. Performing at the higher end for longer and consistently.
Yarran for example, quick and extremely talented agreed?. His best was elite, his worst was abhorrent (IMO). Over his career thus far, he has probably had what one good year? If he didnt have the off field distractions and had the dedication of a Chris Judd? We would be talking about Yarran as a 1 in a 100 year player.
