Melcho in the midfield is a must.

Lets put this onto perspective,Rnd 13 was in the pouring rain for a while so not the only one,Rnd10 against Bummers they were all crap and we had the umpires against us,Rnd12 the whole bloody team were atrocious.

So on that he averages 2.92 Clangers/21.3 Disposals /86.07 Eff% per game and dont forget to take into account that a Free against counts as a clanger and we all know how crap the umpires are.The only poor game he has had this year was against the Bummers.

What does Kennelly have to do with it,nothing.Clangers with Kennelly 19,Clangers with out 19.

So on summary of Melcho's form this year i reckon it's been pretty bloody "Swantastic"

[reigning premier]

But the clangers are trending upward.....

I wouldn't be pissing and moaning to much, they're still pretty damn good stats!! I don't think there would be many that would have better... Not in amongst the Swans at least!!

[NMWBloods]

Yeh his clangers are up to about 1 a week now and his efficiency is down to about 90% yeh he's really bad.

Why do people always turn relative measures into absolute measures!?!

To prove a point.

[Bloody Hell]

Oh, I must be wrong then.

That's funny stuff.

On another note regarding the stats, forgive my ignorance but how can you have 100% efficiency and 3 clangers?

Finally, onto the actual topic, People, including myself, have been beating the "kenelly to a wing" drum for years. What are the chances of Malceski going there instead? Who would be better suited to the position? and; Is either likely to happen?

[Plugger46]

Did someone say Bevan was a defender?

Killed Leon Davis two weeks ago. Davis is no worldbeater, but he can be dangerous.

Bevan is pretty ordinary but I've seen plenty worse.

I don't understand what the point is you're meant to be proving...

Yep those things don't help, but he had 16 clangers in 9 round, then 22 in the next 4. Maybe there are a number of factors that you could reason for that. I thought it showed how the team has performed in relation to Maceski's form. Maybe he is taking more risks thus causing more clangers.

Agree, he has been excellent. Probably the best swan out there. However, his good decisions/plays are starting to be overlooked by the bad ones.

What does Kennelly have to do with it,nothing.Clangers with Kennelly 19,Clangers with out 19.

I was looking to see if their was a correlation between Kennelly missing and Malceski being under more pressure than when Tadhg plays. But it doesn't.

So on summary of Melcho's form this year i reckon it's been pretty bloody "Swantastic"

Bloody Oath.

Maybe he is taking more risks thus causing more clangers.

In general he takes more risks than most Swans - it is unreasonable, for instance, to compare his clanger rate with players who play it safe and rarely create anything extraordinary when they take a risk and it comes off.

My impression is that he's been taking a few more risks in recent weeks, maybe as a response to Kennelly not being there (his speed helps the defence clear the ball quite often and without it they have to find other ways) but also quite probably as a result of so few other players busting a gut to make things happen. Add to the mix the fact that at the start of the year few teams would have explicitly planned for how to pressurise him, and now the probably are, it's not surprising that he's been unable to maintain the impeccable level of disposal of earlier in the year.

[NMWBloods]

Exactly.

True. As he has gained more confidence, he makes more plays. Also players with the highest clangers, usually get the ball a lot and usuually under pressure.

That's why I highlighted the Kennelly games. More responsibility would have fallen his way, which could add to the pressure.

Yep. Though watching him this year, I've found it easy to forget he hasn't played 50 games yet, so there's probably a learning curve in there as well, where he will learn from his mistakes. I noticed he got caught HTB a few times (including the one where he lost his guernsey) from being too slow to dispose of the ball.

Because Free's against count as clangers,so he might have had 3 free's against.

It was just a figure of speech.
