Yeah, I think it’s a reflection of the crappy metrics they use to calculate this. I just found it amusing.

Of course they know it’s trash.

Clickiest click bait in the history of click bait

was listening to big brain Hoyney when they talked about this, their metric is

“how far above or below expectation a player is when they are kicking based on the types of kick they are trying to pull off”

Its even better when they dish it out too, within reason try and intimidate the opposition.

As a back man you should have goog kicking efficiency. Midfielders are excused

Seems like the perfect example of a useless stat. It’s Cleary not providing good signal.

Champion data algorithm go brr.

With Roberts, Hoyne from CD did say he was having a, “sneaky good season”… code for flying under the radar

I have been saying for sometime that Champion data is rubbish, they play around with stats but fail to actually watch what is happening on the field.
No context is ever considered. Roberts top 10 in this category is just plain laughable.

What sort of garbage is that he is sprouting?
How did this clown even get a voice in AFL media?

And his good games last year?

Death by statistics. It is getting out of control now to the point where it is pretty much meaningless. CD rating Lachie Ash as the number 1 player in the comp really sums it up. The old eye test and 3 or 4 simple key metrics really are underrated. Not having Merrett anywhere near the top in the best kicks rating just confirms that all this crap has jumped the shark

Didn’t Hoyne’s predecessor Glen Luff or Graham Luff end up getting a gig at Gorth and then left/got sacked? Champion Data is to AFL what Snake Charm Medicine men were to the Wild West!!!

Yep. The latest God also has bad disposal. Raofl

Oh, because he is a midfielde they say. Yep, the type of midfielder who mostly waits out the back of stoppages waiting for a handball.
