A revealing insight into just why the game is in crisis / disarray / terminal decline / your choice of doomword, the coaches have been anonymously surveyed on a range of topics including the MVP and stats that don't matter...
groundbreaking report revealed here
AFL COACHES have voted Melbourne ruckman Max Gawn the game’s most valuable player.
The 18 club coaches were asked to offer their thoughts on a host of topics in a 20-question anonymous online survey, conducted by AFL Media in partnership with the AFL Coaches' Association, across several weeks in July.
All but two took part, with 25 per cent of respondents picking Gawn as the competition’s most influential player.
'all but two took part'... so which one do you reckon attended RoLy's 'How To Invest Successfully In A Bear Market' seminar instead?
The coaches were also asked to name the statistical categories often cited by media and fans they believed had little bearing on the result of matches, with 18.75 per cent of coaches listing kicking efficiency and the same percentage pointing to tackle numbers.
They also said total disposals, hit-outs and free kicks had little impact on the outcome of games.
I rest my case. I don't know what my case is, but i rest it for now. In case I need it later. Hurrr hurrr.
