Who Leads The League In Turnovers?

Tom Mitchell and Adam Treloar led the way in turnovers league-wide a few weeks back.

But now, probably to their delight, they've been knocked off their perch.

Zach Merrett now takes the mantle for having committed the most turnovers in the league, with 58.

Perhaps that's not surprising, though: Merrett ranks second in the league for kicks and third for disposals. 

Merrett doesn't feature when ranking by disposals per turnover, with St Kilda's Leigh Montagna clocking in first, committing the most turnovers per disposal out of the top 100 ball winners.

Callan Ward ranks as the safest ball user in the comp, turning the ball over once every 11.78 disposals.
