Max King, Aaron Naughton and Harry McKay need to go to the Luke Breust school for goalkicking. Not great when you're a key-forward in an era where the key-forward is coming back into vogue, and you don't know what a straight line is.

From ESPN:


Michael Jordan, Joe Montana, Tom Brady, and Tiger Woods are just some of the names who have proudly worn the term in global sport, but which AFL players are following in their footsteps?

With the help of Champion Data, we've discovered who the most clutch AFL players are since 2016, classifying the fourth quarter of games (when the margin was 12 points or less at three-quarter time and the final margin was also within two goals) as 'clutch time'.

But what exactly is a clutch moment in a game of footy? Kicking the winner after the siren? Winning the clearance that lead's to a match-winning goal? Taking a game-saving intercept mark down back?

These are all crucial components of our game that deserve equal praise, and for that we've broken this exercise down into multiple categories.

When basing it off last-quarter AFL Player Rating points -- a metric used to accurately measure the influence of a player's stat and the overall effectiveness of their entire game -- there is no more clutch player than Hawthorn's Mitch Lewis, who is the only player in the league in the past six years to average more than five rating points in our designated 'clutch time'.

I'm not sure this part is entirely accurate, but I love that our man Mitch is getting some recognition!

I saw it in Lewis when he first emerged, but he just didn't have the conditioning to do it regularly. The guy has the hunger to win.
Accumulating through consistency is valued - but doing the big things in the big moments is what matters most to me.

I'd love to see stats adjusted for scoreline differential.
Kicking a goal when you're 10 goals up shouldn't count as much as kicking one when you are 2 goals down.
Also a time scale applied too.
It's not enough to just take the 4th quarter.
I wanna know who stands up when the heat is on, 1st quarter or last.

 

[threesixpio]

He splits the middle so well it’s like he is hitting middle stump every time. And he has sticky hands. Leads like a legend

How Tf did we get him at that pick

 

[lethalselbow]

Will Lewis bulk up a bit or try and stay lean and mobile?

A lot of games he seems to be in a contest and get up worse for wear.

Doesn't want to bulk up too much. Just legs a bit stronger. Will come with age / off-season training / etc.

Gun.

tldr;

Geelong have an entire club of handbags.

We, on the other hand, need only one clutch.

Mitch Lewis ​

“Mitch had a great year and really demonstrated to the wider football public that he can be a really strong target for the club for a very long time. He combined a great work rate with an aggressive presence to win or halve aerial contests and became a real focal point for our attack especially in the first half of the year. He really attacked his pre-season which laid the platform for his greatly improved year and off the back of this he increased his leadership capacity within not only the forward group, but also the team. A few niggles restricted his output at the year's end, but he’ll benefit from a year spent taking on the AFL’s best defenders.” David Hale

Great bnf result. Just need to keep him on the park!

 

[OnTheRocks]

60+ goals next season should be within his reach.

 

[KermitJagger]

Reckon the only thing that could stop him is injury!

 

[OnTheRocks]

He's going to be bigger, stronger, smarter. He might get double teamed at times to stop him. Excited to see him charging at the ball carrier next year and our young mids kicking it to him.

 

[Iceman!]

60+ goals next season should be within his reach.

Probably the most important player on our list, just hope to see him play 20+ games.
