I note Derm is saying in the Fox Footy round table that Hawthorn's inability to kick scores this year is an issue, does he actually watch football or just talk about irrelevant rubbish when he commentates games, think its the latter.
North - averaging 103 points a game
Sydney - 102
Geelong - 104
Dogs - 91
Hawks - 99
GWS - 108
WC - 102
Ade 114
Sorry Derm, yes we are not scoring as much as we have in the past but we are hardly miles off the pace and considering our draw/injuries I don't think scoring is the issue, its the fact that we are letting other teams score against us that has been the biggest issue, GWS and Geelong in particular got a hold of us with their scoring.
I dare say that after we have played the Bombers and GC in the next 3 weeks our points for will be on par or ahead of most of the top 4 teams.
The biggest issue for us in the second half of the year is going to be controlling games for longer periods and preventing teams from going on scoring runs against us, Melbourne for eg on the weekend, we had the game under control in the 2nd quarter then 15 minutes later they are back level, that has happened most games this year, if we can start to control games for longer periods then our % and scoring ability will go up.
