The Clayton Oliver Statistical Analysis Thread

[citizen-erased]

Kind of glad we didn't, the RS buzz around Hogan in 2015 and Petracca last year was annoying enough

its a bit of a shame he won't win it b/c of 4 games last season.
He is quite clearly leading the pack as the Rising star of under 20yo players right now (which should be the criteria for mine).

Chief, reserve it now!

Not damaging enough. Is a Priddis like player atm

 

[Strahany]

You're reading the table wrong; clanger number is the same as FootyWire. 2.89/game for career, 3.5/game in 2017.

I stand corrected

 

[SickQwon]

I like Petracca, he will be Melbourne's best player after a few uninterrupted preseasons.

I think you might be in love, Striker.

CL = clearances.
CG = clangers.

They should change clangers to FU to make it more obvious

With a fat redhead. I think I have a problem.

Heading towards Bont status.

He'll need to win a best and fairest and a premiership this year for that to be a possibility

Averaging 31.6 disposals, which seems impressive. However, when you break it down:

• 8.83 kicks per game
• 22.8 handballs per game
• 54% uncontested possessions
• 4.6 marks per game
• 0 goals, 0 behinds
• 2.1 inside 50s
• 7.2 clangers per game
• 0 bounces this year

The plain disposal stat severely overrates his impact. You can see that he simply gets the ball and handballs it to a player that actually does something with it. How someone can have a clanger 1 in every 4 disposal when 72% of his disposals are handballs is beyond me; it's an appalling rate. And the fact that a majority of his possessions are uncontested means his handball ratio isn't due to being "in the trenches". A lot of the time heist gets it and dishes it off. Plus, we cannot fail to mention the fact that he hasn't even hit the scoreboard in 6 games despite having 190 disposals; you'd expect that from a key defender, not a midfielder (let alone a supposedly high quality midfielder).

People need to keep things in check.

This is why you watch players rather than rely on stats. If you'd watched Oliver at any given stage you'd realize the clangers stat is incorrect (In this case, you've looked at the clearance column instead of the clanger column. Easy enough mistake to make as they are right next to each other).

He's doing alright.

 

[Lance Uppercut]

You're not getting a good filet Mignon then

need the Bont flavoured one you reckon?

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

how many of his disposals are actually legal and not throws

 

[telsor]

Unprecedented?

What's unprecedented about a quality kid being massively overhyped by fans of his team?

The temptation to bump that thread is almost irresistable.

Clayton Oliver's gone unprecedented, Clayton Oliver's gone unprecedented, Clayton Oliver's gone COMPLETELY unprecedented!!!

 

[Helfarch]

Mark McGough won an ANZAC medal.
Daniel Metropolis kicked 6 on debut.
West Coast once had Cox and Dick on their list at the same time.

Collingwood had Cox, Dick, Wood, Johnson, Goldsack and Sidebottom in 2009. Added more Ball for a premiership.

**** and Balls Calendar the lesser known premiership indicator, superior to the window and clock.

Bont wrapped in Merrett.

 

[Collins-Langford-Ayres]

Move over Lethal. We have another year, another kid, who is unprecedented !!

Didn't the Pies have Brad Dick, Luke Ball, Shannon Cox and Tyson Goldsack at one point?

Best player eva!!!

Best human eva

 

[schmuttt]

Club sent a video to the umpiring department as he was getting pinged for some 'throws' that were clear handballs. Don't deny he is throwing a few but the umpires are clearly just guessing.

Still ranga though

equal 1st in ranga. OP needs editing.
