Clanger

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A clanger in Australian rules football refers to a turnover or a mistake made by a player when disposing of the ball. Its official description in statistical tables is "blatant unenforced errors, including out on the full"

Examples of clangers include,

  • Kicking out of bounds on the full under no pressure
  • Misdirected kicks or handballs that result in turnovers
  • Running too far (15 metres) without bouncing the football
