The indirectness allows the opposition to block space and make for slow and indirect ball movement. Rampe as a contrast, moves it quickly, long and generally to advantage creating far greater speed out of the backline and allowing us 1-1 opportunities in the forward line.
    Got 8 votes from the coaches in the Coaches Player of the year. These blokes must be clueless!

    .....and made the AFL 'Team of the Week'......"and Jake Lloyd did what he always does, racking up the football in Sydney's narrow loss to Fremantle."

    Team of the Week, R18: Who makes the cut? - AFL.com.au

    Herein lies the problem......Lloyd doing "what he always does" is not actually helping our team much.

    So we win by a point and he stll does not help? Coaches MVP votes surely very significant along with Players MVP?. Recall Clarkson commenting on Lloyds importance a season or two ago.

    His disposal efficiency was 78.6% with 4 clangers. This actually made him only the 13th most effective player in the side behind Fox, COR, Melican (87.5%), Stoddart, McLean, Hayward, Jones (!) and Kennedy.

    He had way more possessions than a lot of these guys. Less effective than Hayward and Stoddart who would have had a third of his possessions? Longmire and Lyon had him BOG. Guess some on RWO know better. Lloyd being disrespected big time on here. Personally, I hope in time he will be restored to midfield where he was impressive early on.

    Disposal efficiency (especially as a raw stat, ignoring type of disposal) isn't a measure of effectiveness. Or at least, it's only one (very minor) measure of effectiveness.

    Sorry I didn’t mean to muddy the waters. I was using effectiveness on a per disposal basis interchangeably with efficiency. As in the stat measures the number of effective disposals as a % of the total.

    I think 78.6% is high and I was surprised and how many players %age was even higher. If anything I’m a Lloyd supporter.

    It's interesting reading the negative feedback this year about Lloyd on here and on Big Footy.

    I recall a couple of years ago when we lost those 2 close games against Hawthorn when Lloyd was injured. Most people were saying his absence was the reason why we lost both of those games.

    Lloyd won the B&F last year for a reason. Hopefully he can find that form again.

    This is getting absurd. He got most votes from the two coaches. I know we are all a bit deluded on RWO but this is getting out of hand.
