My 3 word player analysis V GCS

[Demon Disciple 12,315]

viney - very solid game

howe - good second half. leave up forward, will be a handful with the opposition focused on Dawes + Frawley.

watts - deserves all criticism. don't know what can be done with him. just so soft. his "leads" are just jogs, looks like he doesn't want the ball at all.

JKH - worth persisting with. needs to get involved in the play more. will be better with less static, stop start footy from the team. much rather him than Byrnes

spencer - taps are useless. 3 disposals for the game + wasn't overly physical. unfortunately all we've got for now, but practically useless.

frawley - dropped chest marks. he and dawes (through poor kicking) taking their chances probably would have seen us get over the line.

Totally agree with your Spencer call.

Jamar is basically retired and Gawn is too busy talking in to a microphone.

Ablett - Can't touch him

Can't hold him - he is so freakin strong. trying to make a tackle stick on him is nigh on impossible. ( he is such a champion and then some)

1 clanger makes you a king? Turn it up. Terlich was ok today.

His disposal efficiency was higher than these following players:

N.Jones

Dawes

Frawley

Vince

Tyson

JKH

But don't let the facts get in the way of a good old fashioned misconception.

It's not appropriate to compare disposal efficiencies of players in different parts of the ground. Defenders, on average, have much higher disposal efficiencies than players in any other positions on the ground. I'm not sure why, but kicking towards a ground becoming wider instead of narrowing might be a reason as it provides more space to hit a target.

Given all the players you compare Terlich with are not defenders, I'm not sure this is your best argument.

Watching the game - its the context of the clangers . Quick kicks under pressure to the opposition are still clangers. Unfortunately Terlich's disposal and decision making under little pressure IMO are suspect.

Watts 1

Georgiou 1

Spencer 1

McKenzie 5

The midfield pressure was terrible on Sunday, so I think it's incorrect to say defenders aren't under pressure with their disposal.

[nutbean 8,838]

Bottom line is that Terlich's disposal is average at best.

He also a habit of taking off with the ball with what appears to be little thought as to where he is going and runs himself into a corner or runs then pulls up quickly as he has nowhere to go.
