More is not always better
Last week Cody Atkinson looked at this season’s Ironmen – the players who have spent barely spend any time on the pine across the matches to date.
Cody makes some great points about the potential benefits of allowing certain players extended stints on the ground.
But after reading his piece I couldn’t help but think about the fact that just because a player spends a lot of time on the ground doesn’t guarantee they will have a significant impact on the game.
For example, Ben McKay, who averages 99% time on ground across the three games he has played this year, has copped it from all angles over his performances thus far.
Which leads me to ask the seemingly obvious question: who has spent a lot of time on the ground but had little to no impact on the game?
