Think you know the stats that mean everything to your team? Think again. AFL Media take a deep dive into the numbers to come up with the revealing, surprising and downright quirky.

Defender gets on the offensive

He's known as a lockdown small defender, but Luke Brown also gets the Crows moving into attack. He has launched 16 scores from the defensive 50 this season – the equal-most of any player in the competition.

Losing their way going forward

The Crows excel at locking the ball in their midfield from a kick-in, but struggle to turn that into goal-scoring opportunities. The Crows are ranked third in the League for retaining possession in the midfield from a kick-in, at 57 per cent. However, only 26 per cent of those midfield retentions become an inside 50. That's ranked last in the competition.

Seed sprouts the long ball

Short passes aren't Paul Seedsman's thing. The Crows winger looks to gain at much distance as possible when he's moving the ball by foot. Seedsman has kicked the ball long 64 per cent of the time this season. It's the highest percentage of the top 150 players in the competition for total kicks.
