Stats Central examines which stats influenced the results of last week’s and TAC Cup Qualifying and Elimination Finals.
1st QUALIFYING FINAL
MURRAY BUSHRANGERS d DANDENONG STINGRAYS
Murray’s 26-point victory was built on dominance in the contests. The Bushrangers recorded 30 more contested possessions and eight more clearances than the Stingrays, mostly due to the efforts of hard-nuts James Cousins (game-high 13 contested possessions) and Will Brodie (game-high 10 clearances - pictured).
2nd QUALIFYING FINAL
GEELONG FALCONS d NORTH BALLARAT REBELS
The most striking statistical differential in Geelong’s 37-point win was in the hitout numbers. Sean Darcy (34 hitouts) and Hayden Elliot (19) helped the Falcons to a +30 advantage opposed to North Ballarat pair Lloyd Meek and Todd Lawrence (11 hitouts each), leading to Geelong’s +22 edge in contested possessions.
1st ELIMINATION FINAL
SANDRINGHAM DRAGONS d EASTERN RANGES
Sandringham’s willingness to link up with handballs was a key to its two-point win. The Dragons recorded 45 more handball-receives than the Ranges, who much preferred to move the ball by foot. Corey Lyons (13 handball-receives), Jack Scrimshaw (13) and Andrew McGrath (12) were the prime-movers for the victors.
2nd ELIMINATION FINAL
OAKLEIGH CHARGERS d CALDER CANNONS
Oakleigh simply dominated time in possession in its 106-point triumph. The Chargers restricted Calder to just 236 disposals for the game while racking up 382 of their own, led by defensive marshal Jordan Ridley (28 disposals, 12 marks) and classy midfielders Campbell Lane (27 disposals) and Lachlan Walker (25).
