Its funny how people see the game, personally reckon the AFL has the biggest gulf between how you see a game on the tv and at the ground due to the size of the playing field, there is so much more going on than the myopic view of the camera.
As people seem to like stats and like to bag George with his 4 touches but how about:
Butler - 1 tackle, 14 pressure acts
George - 4 tackles, 17 pressure acts
George is creating plenty without actually touching the ball, Butler is getting involved more offensively. Both are doing well and a big part of why we are functioning so well and scoring so heavily on turnover this season.
It's not about that. You are looking at it the wrong way.jb03 said:
When you think about it, theres method to the madness. They are dealing with elite 17 year old who already know how to get the ball and who have probably found it easy to get kicks throughout their junior career. They are emphasising the importance of doing the team stuff. Disposal stats will lokk after themselves -the team stuff is what will ultimately win the game.
they are teaching a young Jake Kelly the importance of spoiling when he doesnt have the ball.

Once again, bang on Posh.
Folks need to take a look at the entire F50 to see what George is doing off the ball. There's a reason Towner has found space of late.
Our three amigos work beautifully around the larger targets.

Its a key reason we won the flag.
Reckon I saw Geelong switch the ball once from the backline against us in their final, the GWS did it a few times and the crows twice? Our pressure and defensive running (mainly from the HF/FF) prevented the easy outlet. Made defending easier and forced the bomb down the line. It and more direct play were massive in our transformation from *smile* results and *smile* to watch to a joy. (and dusty going from demi-god to full blown Zeus helped).
We didn't win many ball winning stats (UP & CP) but our pressure when we didn't have it and efficiency when we did was huge.
