Re: Curnow Ranked 2nd Best Tagger in AFL

In this case they're judging by how many less possessions each tagged player gets compared to their average per game, so whilst not the be all and end all it's a fair way to judge each tagger's effectiveness.
Yeah true, but even a game with less possessions can be an effective one. A player may only get 10 touches for the game but almost every one of those touches could be pivotal and influential to their team's success on the day, as opposed to say a player who mght end up with 25 or so possessions but many of them are 'nothing' touches.
Hence the idea of reducing the better players' disposals as most are pivotal and influential to their team's success.
