So I’m in the car today listening to the Triple M radio pre game drivel fest before the North v Ess match.
The conversation turned to what constitutes a valid “ contested” possession stat compared to a loose ground ball gather with no pressure around the player
I can’t remember which imbecile was arguing with the others, but he was absolutely adamant that any player who gathers a loose ball in space should be awarded the stat of “ contested possession”
I think it was Nathan Brown
who was completely perplexed by this stupid statement and argued fiercely that this guy was utterly insane for saying such ridiculous nonsense.
Stevie J was also bewildered by this commentators opinion.
But do others think the same?
Should we award Nick Daicos and other seagulls a contested possession stat every time they swoop on a loose ball and pick it up?
I think not.
