Yeo was very good in 2015, then fell away last year and is having another excellent this year so far. Wouldn't be surprised if he was leading the B&F for the Club up to date?
Docherty has more marks and your comments show a simple lack of knowledge he is an intercepting wizard and great set up of play from backline. Yeo lacks the elite level Docherty keeps up week in week out. Yeo is good though, just not that good.
He has 1 more mark than Yeo lmao, and less than half as many contested marks. He also averages 3.5 less intercept possessions, has 25% of his possessions contested to Yeo's 40%, less one percenters, less tackles, less metres gained despite averaging 1.5 more disposals and 4 more kicks. Seems like your comments are the ones displaying a simple lack of knowledge, all the stats suggest that Yeo has been the superior player to this point of the season, not to mention the fact he's leading the AFLCA votes more than a third of the way into the season.
Exactly, so as far as intercepting marks he is certainly no better than the shorter Docherty. Docherty is a brilliant intercept mark for his size.
Why did you cut out everything else I said? Who cares about docherty having 1 more mark for the year when far more of his marks are uncontested marks from chip around kicks in the backline compared to yeo's. Considering Yeo averages 50% more intercept possessions than docherty (is also leading the comp for this stat), I think he certainly has shown to this point in the season to be a better interceptor.
As that was only part relevant for me in relation to the context of my point. Intercepting mastermind, if someone going to throw that phrase around they need to actually watch the games beyond their own club and see some of the great players of intercept marking. Docherty is one of those. He is awesome at it for his size and why he is one of the elite defenders in the league. Yeo is going to have to play at this level week in week out to be up there as a player of elite level like I rate Docherty for over a year now. Yeo cannot go missing for several games in a row like he has in the past and be a bit part player that inconsistent over the long haul. Recent form he must keep up to be rated elite like the Doch. He is not there yet, but he can be.
Player ratings take into account the last 40 games, and any eagles supporter will be first to admit Yeo's 2016 was terrible, he was played out of position and found no consistency. Now he's made a spot at half back, he's been the best performed player, nevermind defenders, up to this point of the year, according to the coaches.
Your point was based around intercepting abilities, and I repeat, Yeo averages 50% more intercept possessions this year. you can argue all you like about Docherty being the better intercepting defender last year, no one will disagree with you, however I think you'll be hard pressed to find anyone except another Carlton supporter that will say Docherty has been the better interceptor so far this year.
Exactly, how long ago was in that Yeo played a dud game? Not long ago, do not let a hot streak of good form blind you from reality where he sits overall.
Sits top of the coaches votes?
It is actually you out of context. I actually understand the context of my point which was when someone tried to suggest Yeo was intercepting mastermind in comparison I pulled them up on that point to get some clue Docherty already is elite in that category and pointed out if you actually watch games you will notice how many times he intercepts marks in traffic in backline that most players his size could just not do it on a regular basis. The point being not that the taller Yeo is not good in that area but to show they both are elite in that area. Hence you will find they are both high up in marks but if someone thinks Yeo is a mastermind at that compared to Docherty they out of touch.
Garbage. Does not settle anything. You assumed that.
