Engrave the Magarey Now

[LPH]

James Allen, Justin Ciccolella, Richard Douglas, etc.

Perhaps I should've raised the question;

Do we need to have a new column in the stats page for hard ball disposals & 'easy' receptions?

Any analogies to add?

[The Sleeping Giant]

Well I guess if it's not a hardball get, then it must be an uncontested possession.

Stick that up your analogy.

[MagareyLegend]

There are three types of possessions:

1 - sitting out on your own just waiting for any easy get
2 - running hard to work to get to the right spot and recieve a run recieve but still without necessarily an opponent all that close to you and then dispose under pressure
3 - a hard body contact contested possession against the opposition including lead up and pack marks

How ever you want to classify them, I don't care, but there are three not two categories.

All categories may well be as effective to the team but the profile does over a game/season/career reflect the type of player a particular player is.

Only 2 kinds of possessions get counted on the stat sheet though. Contested and Uncontested. Are you thinking of handball receives Margery Legend?

I know some SANFL clubs that when calling their stats will just count the handball while other will also specify it as either a hanball or handball receive as TSG is reffering to.

When he first came to the SANFL I used to think that James Allan did just get the cheap kicks and rack up the easy stats but having seen him busting a gut either at training or seeing him have his customary 'chuck' at 1/4 and 3/4 time breaks, I can see how hard he does work and think he is one of the better midfielders in the league without doubt.

I agree with that, BP.

No I reckon kick recieives can be in category 2 as well as Cat 1 TSG.

2 - running hard to work to get to the right spot and recieve a run recieve but still without necessarily an opponent all that close to you and then dispose under pressure

Another quality ability to out run or out read your opponent to take a possession uncontested ... IMHO Allan does both and is obviously a very good player.

If not for a couple of injuries and a couple of dodgy umpire votes James Allan would have won about 5 Liston and Magarey Medals in a row which is quite extraordinary and a testament to how good a player he is.
Haven't seen that sort of consistent form from a player for a while and probably wont see it again for a while either.

A chicken, one of Gonzos lovers I reckon, not sure what Gonzo was doing looking at the chokes face though!
