yeah muffle prices have spiked recently, better to save some cash

very hostile!

HAHA my bad... typo!

In terms of the current Carlton forward tackling pressure: Tackle efficiency = % of attempted tackles that are effective Ed Curnow: 80% ( I know he has started to play a lot more in the midfield since Teague has come in, but these %s have been very high all year) Jack Silvagni: 70% Michael...

Found some interesting champion data stats relating to crumbing possessions from Carlton players- as at end of R15. A crumb is: A type of groundball-get that is won by a player at ground level after a marking contest. The player must not be involved in the original contest. Crumbing...

Have a listen to our podcast- 32 minute mark onwards- we have a 5 min discussion as to who has been the best forward so far this season out of first year players. Champion Data's top three forwards are Connor Rozee, Tarryn Thomas and Nick Blakey. I fabsolutely love Big Blakey and I put in a case...

The GWS Giant Sam Reid has endured more than most of the players running around in the league today. With a number of severe injuries and most notably carrying type 1 diabetes since the beginning of his career. Sam talks through the prehistoric GWS landscape, some hilarious prank moments and the...

Carlton players for tackle effectiveness (for players with more than 50 tackle attempts) 1. Ed Curnow 80% (no.1 in AFL) 2. SPS 70% 3. Michael Gibbons 69% 4. Paddy Cripps 61% 5. Sam Walsh 60% 6. Zac Fisher 58% 7. Paddy Dow 57% Says to me that Fisher and Dow struggle due to their size to stick...

Yep, McKenna is the worst tackler at the Bombers. Only 39% of his tackles are effective. AFL average is 64%. Fantasia at 51% is also not ideal for a small forward.

Following completion of round 14 discussion around some cool metrics: - Most effective players going inside 50 in the game - Most effective tacklers in the AFL (Ed Curnow ranked number 1- 80% of his tackles are effective!) Carlton inside 50 stats 1. Patrick Cripps- 36 @ 37% 2. Paddy Dow- 41...

As for league averages, the weighted average for tackle effectiveness is at 64%

2019 run-down holding the ball tackles Saad 4 Merrett 3 Tippa 3 all others with 1 or less

Pressure acts per game for the midfielders Merrett 26 Smith 24 D. Clarke 21 Shiel 20 Parish 19 Heppell 16 Langford 15 Zaharakis 14 McGrath 13 Guelfi 13

There is obviously an element of subjectivity involved. But it is generally the primary player who is involved in the tackle i.e. if player X tackles Y to the ground and 3-4 others jump on top, generally only a tackle will be awarded to X.

Same for Bellchambers- all high

Zaka's are all related to high tackles.

Some other interesting tackle related stats. Most broken tackles for the Bombers so far in 2019: 1. Dylan Shiel 10 2. Adam Saad 10 3. Jake Stringer 9 4. Mason Redman 8 5. Tippa/Heppell 6 each Clumsiest tacklers (players that have given the most frees away from attempted tackles): Zaharakis ...

Ambrose is at 58% from 48 tackles. Your worst is McKenna who has attempted 31 tackles @ 38%.

Guys, thought would share some interesting tackling stats. For Essendon players that have attempted 50 or more tackles, here are the efficiency %s. Tackle efficiency is essentially the percentage of tackes attempted that result in effective tackles (i.e. when a player stops an opposition player...

Another interesting one- Lewis Jetta really struggles one-on-one. He has been in 15 contests and has only a 40% win/neutralise rate.

Hurn has been involved in 28 one-on-ones. He has a 82% win/neutralise rate, very good. Stewart's win/neutralise % is 84 but has been in 15 less one-on-ones.
