Some quick calculations of the total disposals + tackles

Ah - I misread - didn't realise you were looking at disposals + tackles combined. Given that, then I think you made a very good case subject to any disputing evidence!

It's be great to see how that goes for first and last parts of the season. Like has Kirk and the WBs lifted as the team plays better?

But shows how the Swans win games - we closed down the young Doggies for an easy win, we let the Saints get the ball too easily and got caned.

Our rotation of midfielders through the bench made we wonder this- does anyone have stats on minutes played per game for the season? Kirky, in particular, seems to spend a lot of time off the field taking a breather and is ranked 21 in the AFL for total disposals with 434 and first in tackles with 107; 21.7 disposals and 5.4 tackles per game. I'd love to know how he ranks against the other guys in that top bracket of ball winners as far as actual time on ground goes. A relatively new stat in basketball that I quite like is "points/rebounds/assists/whatever you can measure per 48 minutes" so it gives you a chance to get a rough idea quickly of how a player getting little game time compares to someone playing a lot of game time, obviously it is easy to be great in tiny amounts compared to longer periods, but still an interesting stat. Is there an Internet available/free site that holds the average minutes played for an AFL player? Or even just the total minutes?

One thing I do know is that Kennelly is one of about 3? players to have played every minute of every game. But the Herald Sun has TOG every Monday for every match and also the clanger count for each player.

If that is the case then Roos being Roos he will bench Tadhg for the last 5 minutes of the Hawks match.

Sorry to all those who were disappointed with the weekend's results.
