PORT ADELAIDE has reached the mid-season bye so we thought it was a perfect opportunity to reflect on the season so far, focussing on the statistics that matter.

Today we will start with the leaders at the coalface – those who win the most ball.

There is no surprise that midfielders dominate this statistic and Ollie Wines is at the top.

Wines has been having a career-best season, averaging 31.3 disposals per game which ranks him as elite amongst the competition.

He has had a total of 344 disposals in his 11 games, ranking him fourth overall in the AFL behind leader Jack Macrae from the Western Bulldogs, who has had 387 touches.

Macrae averages an astounding 35.2 disposals per game with Hawthorn’s Tom Mitchell (33.5) and Melbourne’s Clayton Oliver (32.2) the others ahead of Wines.

Disposals

Wines is also the barometer for the side when it comes to contested possession. He leads that statistic for Port with 152, ahead of Travis Boak on 132 and Charlie Dixon on 100.

That ranks Wines as fourth overall in the AFL behind Oliver (192), Crow Rory Laird (163) and Bulldog Tom Liberatore (159).

Given Karl Amon leads Port Adelaide for kicks with 172 ahead of Darcy Byrne-Jones (149) and Wines (147), there is no surprise he also leads the club for metres gained.

At 5150 metres gained, at an average of 468.18 per game, this ranks Amon as elite amongst the competition, although he is 18^th overall in that statistic behind overall leader Brodie Smith from the Crows (6774 metres gained)

Metres gained

Four-gamer Martin Frederick is the surprise leader for Port’s most efficient player.

His disposal efficiency is 91 per-cent, ranking him above Aliir Aliir with 87 per-cent efficiency.
