Players that never turn the ball over.

[markr]

Hodge. When he has the ball, things happen.

Hodge does turn it over with his disposal every now and then, but I think it's because he tries to do more with his kicks. A lot of the time it pays off and he hits a leading forward 50m away, but sometimes it backfires. Personally I think it's worth the risk. Nothing hard about never turning it over when all you do is chip it to someone 30m away.

Agreed. He turns it over but he can create something out of nothing.

Does anyone remember the handball he gave to Chance Bateman against Essendon a couple of years ago?

Kepler Bradley... On account that he never gets the ball

LOL!

Martin Clarke. Efficiency is awesome. 85-90% + region on average with quite a few flawless 100's.

Pendlebury would be up there too. Silky skills.

 

[Del Piero]

Dean Cox is very good

 

[ekzistenz]

Dean Cox is very good

He'd easily be top 5 for disposal in our club and can kick well with either foot. Funny that I trust a 200cm ruckman over pretty much any other player in the club when making decisions by foot.

However, Grahams probably the player that turns the ball over least in our team. Granted he doesn't take many risks with the ball.

Dal Santo. He's always cool and precise.

1) Nick Dal Santo
2) Ben Rutten
3) Lindsay Gilbee
4) Paul Chapman
5) Dustin Fletcher

 

[Kaiser Powser]

No one.

[Adelaide Hawk]

Chris Judd

You're joking of course. At least I hope you are.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Grant Birchall

For Geelong, Chapman and G. Ablett are probably the least likely to turn the ball over. Darren Milburn is usually pretty effective with his disposal as well. Other players are a bit more hot and cold.

Josh Hunt by foot is usually pretty good as well, though he did turn it over once or twice on Thursday.

 

[DBAH0]

Matthew Stokes.

 

[LuvtheKangas]

No one.

I suggest that in a few weeks, the stats will show this call to be the most accurate.

 

[LingaDingDing]

Joel Selwood was the best 1st year player I have ever seen at making good decisions with the ball. He's not yet in the class of Dal Santo, Gilbee, and Chapman for decision making but seem to have started this season from where he left off last year.

He kicks into space alot, forcing our players to run to certain areas. I'm pretty sure that doesn't count towards his 'efficiency' in the stats. Same goes for Winston Birchall. Both great users of the ball. And dare I say the Dewstroyer'd fit into this catagory too.

I'd say Chapman is a good shout.

Brad Sewell from our lot is another, had the highest efficiency rate of all the midfielders last year. Or so I heard (a fair few times).

 

[fish_bowl]

mal michael. cant remember him turning the ball over once last year

 

[Sainters08]

Dal Santo.

End Thread!

 

[bigrayohall20]

tivendale

Yep. I cant recall Jarrod Oakley Nicholls turning the ball over either.

 

[Viva la Mattner]

Lindsay Gilbee
Brent Reilly

from a mark or free kick Nick Davis, deadly accurate

 

[The Dustbin]

Simon Black & Dustbin Fletcher.

Stewy Dew has an awesome penetrating kick into the forward lines. Doesn't often miss a chest, i think Buddy is going to enjoy him being a Hawk.
