Football Analysis

I'm pretty sure that's the number of 1v1 contests along the bottom and the loss rate up the side.

Eg: Harris Andrews has contested 55 1v1s for a loss rate of about 15%. Charlie Ballard has contested 36 1v1s for a loss rate of 36%.

I'm surprised Keath has such a high loss rate, I thought he had been fairly solid 1v1 this season. I guess not all 1v1s are created equal though. There are those that should be fairly easily spoiled and then there are those where the kick is to advantage and gives the defender little chance.

Williams is less surprising. He is solid in the air when intercepting, but defending isn't his go.

Its all relative. He is our best 1 on 1 defender (at a guess) so by default we rate him!

Is it considered a 1 on 1 contest when you're 10-20 metres in front of your direct opponent, and watch the ball sail over your head for an easy mark?

Asking for a friend.

Funnily enough I just looked up Cordy's loss rate this season - an excellent 17.6% (3 from 17). A big improvement on his career average.

Keath has lost 9 from 24.
Williams 9 from 15.
Wood 3 from 13.
Gardner 5 from 11.

The “over 40 metre kick to the other team counts as an effective disposal” loophole for key defenders.

10 out of 17 final quarter inside 50s resulting in turnovers seems like a particularly poor result. Was this structure, decision making or fatigue impairing skill execution? Probably a bit of everything.

By comparison the Cats had 15 of their 22 resulting in either scores or stoppages. They were so efficient in the final quarter.

Surely fatigue played a big part

Good analysis that confirms what I saw on the night. Whilst everybody gets hung up on the ruck situation and nobody (including Bevo) is happy with things at the moment, it wasn't why we lost.

I get what you are saying but is there an element of the fact that we are entering games each week with one less midfield rotation because we are running Dunks in the ruck and therefore into the ground?

This time last year he was a real force for us with our midfield rotations, he not the same player now because of the way we are using him

And we tried to make him a forward last year from memory ? Does Bevo just not rate him as a mid ?

I don't think it's that. We tried for the first 5 games of last season to play him mainly as a forward but once he moved into his more natural midfield role his performances and that of the clubs improved as well.

Dunkley is going to answer whatever challenge is thrown at him but this one appears to be a big ask

There is only so much midfield time to go around (unless You play Dunkley as a ruck/mid hybrid as we are currently doing, but that's a whole different conversation). This year Dunk's midfield minutes have largely been taken up by Libba and Bailey Smith, as compared to last year and it's not like they have been poor. Josh's effectiveness in the midfield is clearly diminished by playing in the ruck, but is that a net gain or loss for the team - I don't know.

We would love to see 2019 Dunkley back again but to be fair he wasn't present early in the season before injury and ruck work either.
