Always Right Match Committee - Round 23, 2018 vs Richmond

Re: Always Right Match Committee - Round 23, 2018 vs Richmond

Stats are different if you play defence v mid

I'd argue that when Webb played as a defender he got a lot more of the ball, Webb has also spent a bit of time as a forward

Either way, there is nothing in the stats line that supports a Smith promotion, I'm not saying he won't be promoted but it would clearly be a captains call not one based on form.

Smith averaging 11.7 and Webb averaged 10.9 in his year in the backline

This ‘how many games have you played’ is a load of horse shit.

Whilst it does take time to become an important and consistent contributor, it doesn’t take time to have an impact and show some positive signs. I would think in about 5% of the times Smith has either had the ball or been around the ball he has shown he is capable at AFL level... which isn’t enough.

Whilst injuries have robbed of his natural physical attributes, he is now slow for his size, lacks agility, is horribly one-sided (which is hard to hide when you aren’t quick) and lacks poise... I’m almost certain he will be around next year, but I don’t see the final product being a good performer in a good team.

So that one possession is the reason why Smith should be promoted and Webb delisted?

Like Mantis said, I'd nearly bet on the fact that Smith will be promoted but I'm not seeing a clear cut reason why he should be

I'm not sure but you have been damning with Webb for a similar stat line

If we're fair dinkum, neither should be on the list.

With Biggs, Red, C Smith retiring, and maybe Dahl and Roughie moving on, one of Webb or Roark may survive. I'd be content with a deep cut to the list this year though.
