Training 2015/16 preseason training (discussion)

[Stotch]

What was the retained possession percentage for Fremantle compared with the rest of the top four, specifically what was Danyle's retained possession stat?

If you can find it. I think that is the most important stat for a mid, but can't find it.

I cant find the retained I50 stats either, doesn't look like anywhere keeps it, I remember seeing he was our highest followed by Hill halfway through the year, not sure how it ended.

However the the AFL site has him at 70.2% efficiency, not our best, but pretty good. His 122 I50's means we structure to have him deliver it.

Compare that to Hill who had our second highest I50's with 104 running at 68.7% efficiency.

Not a great stat comparing total efficiency, but it's the best I could find.

Keep in mind that if you kick 40m or more and it isn't directly marked by an opponent it counts as as effective disposal. Grassed kicks, spoiled, dropped opposition marks, dropped marked by us - all effective disposals.

More to it than quality of inside 50 delivery. It would be nice if we had a decent key forward outside of Pavlich who had exceptional leading ability i.e. getting to the correct positions, reading the play etc.

Unfortunately Taberner is no where near exceptional currently. Griffin is good but he is a ruck man first and forward 2nd - the repeat efforts catch up to him as the game goes on.

Walters/Ballantyne are perfect as the small forward roles.

Yarran and Bennell will solve some of the issues with leading up and reading the play etc. so we should see an improvement of our scoring capacity.

Pearce lead our inside 50's last year, he's one of the best kicks in the side.

Like others have said, its about the quality of those entries. What is the point of having a pile of inside 50's but those entries are woeful kicks that either go to a 50/50 big pack, float out of bounds or go straight to the opposition - that is exactly what Pearce inside 50s are like.

To say that he has one of the best kicks in the team because he has the most inside 50s is the statement of a fool

He is entitled to his opinion .Calling someone a fool because they don't agree with you says more about you than him.

I have to strongly disagree with you/find it hard to believe some of those observations and I'm not trying to be a prick to you.

Danyle Pearce's kick can't possibly go from how bad it was last year to now be top 3. He kicks a flowerbag every third kick.

Suban's kick, IMHO, is extremely over rated by some on this board. He actually doesn't have the long wracking kick that many believe he has as he hits loopy inaccurate passes.

These two are also serial culprits to miss goals on the run with little to no pressure around them

I strongly disagree with you and I think there are a lot on here who are critical of him lack anything resembling impartial judgement. Barlow last year got a free ride in terms of turnovers, ditto Ballas, Ditto Spurr. D.Pearce at least kicks the ball sixty metres while there are plenty who have a slow up and under trajectory. D>Pearce is generally a gun at preseason kicking. That has been repeated by plenty more than me. Rubbish on Suban being loopy passes to do with Suban too. Im not having a personal go, but I think your opinion is significantly inaccurate. There are some on here who are have their mind set on Suban and D>pearce. In my opinion there views are massively off base when compared to facts.

It's one thing being great at kicking in training and another actually replicating it consistently in a real game.

Can't recall my first post. Probably didn't put as much thought into it as you did.

Ahh, the Danyle Pearce Special!
