I dont think there is much variation week to week with George as to what he does when he doesnt have the ball.
To my mind thats the difference bwteeen he and Rioli.
So what metrics is he measured on regarding performance? Care to answer?
Surely it’s his output and his input toward team targets. Not just goals and disposals. But tackles, shepherds, pressure acts, 1%ers, iI50’s, goal assists, clearances, clangers, score involvements etc. There are also the intangibles the closing down of space, the run to the wing and wing/defence that allows our wingers to cover and link in defence.
Funnily enough he wasn’t credited with a single 1%er and only had one tackle. But other facets of his game outweighed those numbers. I merely mention them because some will excuse his numbers but refer to the pressure he puts on. It was the opposite last night. He even had a DE of over 94%
With people commenting on George’s good game last night I think that’s an indicator that his output really improved.
He hasn’t been playing anywhere near that level. Nowhere near it. If people can comment on that improvement, surely they can also opine when he’s not playing well.
