An average 40 possession game?

Re: An average 40 possession game?

As Lake said himself, lots of cheapies

And he made the most of those 'cheapies'
So imo, 41 possies is not average, it was a great display from a Full Back who took advantage of his defender being in a sweeping zone.

It was a good game from Hall, probably slightly more influence to the game against Hawthorn (although he was playing on Buddy) and slightly less then the game against the swans

In summary, 80% of his marks and kicks were uncontested.
A high portion of his kicks were lateral switches not moving the ball significantly forward.
His use of the ball in terms of kicking accuracy was excellent though.
For a 42 possession game I doubt there was more than a handful of genuine hard ball gets.

Lake got some cheapies but he was also outstanding in the aerial battles in North's forward 50 when it was required.

I once saw Matt Priddis get 15 kick and 30 handballs in a routine flogging at the hands of Hawthorn a couple of eyars ago. I can't remember a less influential 45 possession game in my time watching football.

He wouldn't be credited with many of these in any game.

If a player has 20 damaging disposals, and then has 20 nothing disposals, those nothing disposals don't detract from the 20 damaging disposals. Plus it's debatable whether he really had that many disposals which meant 'nothing', I would prefer him to chip it around when there's nothing on offer than to blaze away.

When he got his 41st possesiion it was right near I was sitting, he had a smile on his face knowing full well how many possessions he had until then. Saw him look up at the scoreboard when the stats went up, gee it was funny!
