Average of 58 points a game after Round 4

[BACCS]

Have we ever averaged such a low points total after 4 rounds of footy (at any part of the season)? Bloody pathetic.

The worst part about it is that you haven't played a top 8 team yet...

 

[lunacy]

Fremantle, Sydney and Carlton are all in the 8

To be honest, I don't think it would matter which opposition we faced. The problem is regardless of how many opportunities we can can't create, we simply can't capitalise on them.

I'm surprised it's even as high as 58. I would have guessed a goal or two lower.

 

[Deaneus!]

Yeah... and if Richmond/Melbourne tomorrow is a high scoring game, either won by Richmond or a narrow loss, we may go bottom.

Would it be the first time ever we've been dead last?

The 58 is deceptively close to 10 goals. Our actual average of goals per match is 7.75.

The 58 is deceptively close to 10 goals. Our actual average of goals per match is 7.75.

7.75 goals per game (down from 8.3 going into the Carlton game) and 11.75 points per game.

Love that accuracy.. 39.7% and that's before you consider all the shots which have gone OOTF or failed to make the distance completely (some from as little as 25m). Good sides should average at least 55%, we're struggling to even get 30% once all scoring shot attempts are taken into account.

 

[cmndstab]

What hideous accuracy... Sad thing is, we're not even alone. Why is goalkicking so terrible this year? It's making the previous years look stirling by comparison.


Is it simply the faster-paced game? Or the ability by sides to force the ball carrier to go wide?


The spectacle of football this year has been abominable all over the board.

The worrying thing is that most of our misses have been from set shots, so it's NOT due to the pace of the game. Mind you, we almost never take a shot from general play these days, hence why so many of our misses are set shots.
