Got my copy of the 2020 CD Prospectus today. A couple of observations pertinent to Port-
Port were the best side when it came to forward half differential
Port had equal best clearance differential at around the ground stoppages
Port had the best clearance differential at centre bounces
Port were the best at forward half intercepts- a stat that normally guarantees you a prelim final
The CD analysis blames our efficiency for the fact that these stats didn't see us make finals. CD notes that our accuracy cost us too. If all teams had the same accuracy, we would have finished 5th (the expected score ladder).
The analysis debunks the theory we are too slow and one paced in the midfield. Our clearance work is first class. Boak (our only elite player) was the standout but he was assisted in the clearances by Gray, Wines and Rockliff who were all above average in this category.
Rozee was the best general forward in the comp! We have the 7th youngest list but the 5th most experienced game wise. We have the 14th most difficult draw.
