    What has 40 metres got to do with anything?

    Mate, I'm not producing the stats. They are prepared by Pro-Stats. If you and Des want to dispute them, give them a call and tell them where they are going wrong.

    Yep, was just going to post this -- long kicks are measured as effective regardless of outcome, which is a little bit bollocks, but hey.

    He does have a propensity to look for the longer option which is not a bad thing long term. He's exceeded 2010 expectations by all accounts and is set for a massive 2011.

    Stats bollocks? Surely not
    Dont question anything EJ Smith posts as we know he does not like it. It upsets him when someone asks a perfectly sensible question.

    Agree with that, although a lot of the time I mistake him for Gilbee, who tends to use the corridor whenever he can also. Another Gilbee? Another Griffen? Either way, I'm happy.

    Correct.

    Not quite regardless of outcome, they can't be clanger kicks as Mantis mentioned. It stacks up when you think about it, if a player launches a long ball from the centre circle into the middle of their fifty, and the ball at that point is anyone's to win, I'd say that's a pretty good result for the team in question.
