"5 more scoring shots" is an inflated stat. What people overlook is that doesn't mean 5 pure shots at goal they missed after effort getting it there from the middle. Some of those points are butchered attempts and it then stays in their forward half for a decent chance of another go at goal.

If they kick one of those as a goal it goes back to the middle and changes the course of the game then who knows what happens.

Considering Adelaide won more clearances and had more inside 50's that probably suggests some more Adelaide shots at goal were on offer once the ball got back to the middle.
Points also include rushed behinds, so they weren't all scoring shots.
 
He has a good step and 5 metre pace but he's not actually fast imo. When he holds onto it he gets himself in trouble. Even Tex ran him down.
He's now been accepted into the 'cannot be penalised for holding the ball under any circumstances' club.

Joins an illustrious group which has included Joel Selwood and Scott Pendlebury.
 
Hinkley taking full blame for playing rozee. Silly man. Dead man walking.
I like how the oddly bias media were really praising him for "owning up" to his mistakes by playing Rozee, which is disingenuous since him re-signing was the ultimate mistake for Port, putting himself first.
