Are the AFL's Effective Disposals, Effectively Wrong?

Описание: For decades, Disposal Efficiency has been one of the cornerstones of AFL analysis, but what if this widely accepted statistic is fundamentally flawed? In this video, we break down why Disposal Efficiency is WRONG and how it has misled fans, coaches, and even players.

We explore the core issues with how Disposal Efficiency is calculated, we delve into the groundbreaking 2006 paper 'Position vs Possession' by Darren O'Shaughnessy.
We also draw parallels with Liam Crowhurst's 'Kick Retention' and 'Kick Threat' rating metrics, which explain a player's impact and effectiveness with the ball and even get Liam to go over it himself.

If you've ever watched a game and felt that the stats don't tell the whole story, this video is for you.
