You reckon Broad was unlucky not to get the free?

agree. broad was not unlucky.  he tried to pull a ginivan and got adjudged as prior opportunity

he raised his arm to deflect cozzie's arm higher and threw his head back simultaneously

what was lucky was the umpire saw it

That's pretty much it. I didn't think Kozzie got him high the prior opportunity was the only question for me and the arm raise was effectively his prior.

Just the fact that 8 of 22 possessions were turnovers.

Source?

Where do you get 8 turnovers from?

I'm not saying you are incorrect, but he had four clangers for the game, not 8.

This is the Champion data definition of a clanger:

Clanger: An error made by a player resulting in a negative result for his side. Disposal clangers are any kick or handball that directly turns the ball over to the opposition. Frees and 50-metre penalties against, No Pressure Errors, Dropped Marks and Debits are all included in clangers.

Here's some more information:

https://www.footywire.com/afl/footy/ft_player_rankings?year=2023&rt=LA&pt=&st=TO&mg=1

I think turnovers per possession and per contested possession are important to consider too though.

Oliver 6 TO, 33 Possessions (5.5 per TO), 15.7 Contested (2.62 per TO)

Petracca 5.63, 28.42 (5.05 per TO), 13.84 (2.46 per TO)

ANB 4, 15.26 (3.82 per TO), 5.95 (1.49 per TO)

ANB does turn it over at a pretty high rate.

Ta.

So 4 of nibbler's turnovers did not result 'in a negative result for his side'. 

And from that list Langdon also had 8 turnovers, Viney 7 and Pickett 5.

It's also worth noting that four dees players - Langdon, Gawn, Tomlinson and Melksham - had more clangers (ie turnovers that result 'in a negative result for his side') than Nibbler.

Don't recall reading much criticism for their errors this week. 

Hell, the silky skilled Shai Bolton had more clangers AND turnovers than Nibbler.

I added some possessions data to the post, I think that's relevant.

Look overall I'm a fan, gotta take the good with the bad.  If he turned it over less he's be a star ...

This is what is throwing me. Is a clanger the same as a turnover? 


Edit: They have both on Footywire. 

Turnover: Losing possession to the opposition in general play. General play excludes events that happen between a stoppage and the clearance.

 

Clanger: An error made by a player resulting in a negative result for his side. Disposal clangers are any kick or handball that directly turns the ball over to the opposition. Frees and 50-metre penalties against, No Pressure Errors, Dropped Marks and Debits are all included in clangers.

Where old (ie where did you add the possessions data)?

Funnily enough, i was just thinking about that.

For example, Melksham only had 9 disposals - and 33% were turnovers (the rest, bar two, were goals!).

And Tomo had 7 disposals - and more than 50% (4) were turnovers.

One is worse than the other.

And it seems posters often conflate them.

Funnily enough, i was just thinking about that.

For example, Melksham only had 9 disposals - and  remarkably over 50% were clangers (5) and 33% were turnovers.

And Tomo had 7 disposals - and remarkably nearly 80% (5) of which were clangers and more than 50% (4) were turnovers.

By way of contrast Nibbler, who probably runs 50% further than both Melk and Tomo and therefore is gassed much of the time, had 22 disposals and less than 20% were clangers.

Confirmation bias is a very interesting phenomena.  

I got the disposals and contested on the same site Footywre, e.g.:

Definitely.

And in a turnover the phase between the stoppage and clearance doesn't count? 

Wondering if a clearance is the first effective disposal out from the pack (eg a quick handball) or the first possession to territory advantage?

Open wide ...

Clearance: Credited to the player who has the first effective disposal in a chain that clears the stoppage area, or an ineffective kick or clanger kick that clears the stoppage area.

Sure, but i think his role has to be factored into any such analysis. Not all turnovers are created equal. Apples and oranges and all that.

Nibbler is an endurance player who runs 16-17 kms per game, much of which is at high speed. So he would be gassed much more of the time than power, burst athlete like tracc - which logically has to have an impact on his turnover numbers

I don't know what their turover ratio numbers are, but at the dees the only players who run his sort of distances and higjh speed, repeat sprints are Hunter, Langers and to lesser extent Spargo.

At other clubs, Toby Bedford would have similar profile (the giants recruited him to play Nibbler's high half forward role).

Those players would be better comparisons.

Yes, as often there’s a lot of scrabbling around in the pack with no clear disposals they don’t count losing the ball in there as a turnover, it’s only once the ball is on the outside team they count turnovers. 

Clearance is the first disposal to clear the stoppage area, can be effective or ineffective. 

Clangers include disposal clangers (i.e. turnovers) as well as the other categories so you’re always likely to have more clangers than t/overs. And clangers shouldn’t be counted as a % of disposals (you might have a dropped mark clanger and 0 possessions) but with t/overs you can.

Makes it pretty black and white. 

Never used to think possessions backwards counted but I guess they do.

It's really a "disposal" backwards a "possession" is something different:

Disposal: Legally getting rid of the ball, via a handball or kick.

Possession: When a player grabs the ball with a reasonable amount of time to dispose of it. Includes groundball-gets, marks, handball receives, effective contested knock-ons and frees for.

And there's a related important distinction between a "first possession" and a "clearance"

First Possession: The initial possession that follows a stoppage, including a looseball-get, hardball-get, intended ball-get (gather), free kick or ground kick.

Clearance: Credited to the player who has the first effective disposal in a chain that clears the stoppage area, or an ineffective kick or clanger kick that clears the stoppage area.

Did this get picked up by the cameras? Which qtr/minute mark? 

In case no one has answered, it happened in the 1st minute of the 3rd quarter, just after Dusty kicks a goal. I’m not sold that it was a chat of tactics though.

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
