Got another hint?

they went for a slow old has-been crock mercenary weirdo. Former sell-out champ who took the easy bucks, only took, and then tried to salvage some history through a cynical double crossing and whose numbers are the same or worse than at least 20 players who missed

GAJ 20d. 4M. 3.8T 1.6G

GC. 15D 4M 3.4T 1.1G

No not all. 20.5 disposals average to 14. 6? 1.6 goals to 1.1? 4.4 tackles to 3.4?Huge difference. Let's not highlight 5.1 inside 50s to 2.7, 8.4 contested possies to 4.2, 0.9 goal assists to 0.5, 0.4 cntested marks to 0.1,clearances 2.1 to 0.4. Supercoach average of 95.7 to 66.4 probably reflects the difference quite well. Castagna has been a great role player this year but he's not a boot lace on Ablett. And let's not forget Ablett is 35yo. I know some don't like Ablett but he's been a superstar.

Chalk & Cheese,and with Ablett you wouldn’t have to peek through your fingers when he’s kicking for goal.

Yep agreed. But on the flip side George and Ablett tackling is a different matter.

George has his flaws, but gee he brings crazy maniacal pressure to the opposition backline. Add to that he can bob up and kick a couple of snags. Good value

1 disposal int he first quarter but fired up after that to end up with 14 disposals. He just seems a lot more composed of late. He's not trying to think too hard just choosing the obvious options once using a bit of foot candy to give himself more time. He's been really good.

Worked his ring off, getting up and back. Provied an outlet a couple of times. Also getting better at taking first option.
