What! Matt Orford 804 meters from 26 kicks..thats only 30 meters average, Shocking.

Do the people who compile these stats understand the game ?

Our points against is only 29, which makes it the 4th best, which surely is a more accurate description than 13th (lowest).


Cowboys are currently 1st in Points Against, having concede a wopping 102 in 3 games!

Do they include all kicks (including attacking kicks such as bombs, grubbers into the in-goal , chips and cross field kicks) ?

If so, then those kicks will bring the average metres down.

The kick metres stat should only be for clearing kicks.


I would also like to see a separate stats on metres gained from penalty kicks for touch, metres gained on goal line dropouts, kick offs etc.


The metres gained on attacking kicks is irrelevant - the useful stat there would be how many of each type of attacking kick does a player use.

Definately........a grubber that is only meant to go 10 metres cant be included with a get us out of trouble kick. That would be lame. He doesn't have a huge boot but stoopid stats are stoopis stats.

Orfords grubbers go further than his kick to touch off penalties
