Although they don't mean overly much, I do think they are quite interesting, and worth taking note off.

* West Coast went inside 50 the fourth most of any team this year (averaging 51 a game), but we were 11th for marks inside 50 (12 a game).
* As has been well noted, we topped the year for most points scored (averaging 106 a game), but our conversion of 52% was the11th best in the league - something to work on for 2004.
* Despite the talk about having such great kick outs, we were 11th in the competition for scoring untouched from kick ins.

* West Coast were 2nd for most hit outs per game (38/game), and 2nd for thie highest percantage of hit outs win (41%).
* West Coast were 3rd for having the most centre bounce hit out dominance, with 14-10 (I.e. we won 14 centre bounce hit outs per match, the opposition won 10) our averaging result in centre bounce hit outs for a match. Freo topped this stat with a 14-8 win per game.
* West Coast were 4th in throw in hit outs, and 5th in ball up hit outs.

* We were 8th in the competition for spoils, making 18 per game.
* We were 15th in the competition for handling errors, making 32 per game. Only Freo were worse with 33 a game.
* We missed more shots at goal than any other team, missing 91 for the season. This partly came from the fact we had more shots than any other team, but the next highest was Melbourne with 81. Brisbane only missed 55, had about the 14th or 13th lowest amount of missed shots.
* David Wirrpunda holds down 1st (21), 2nd (19) and 4th (15) spot on the list of most rebounds in a single match for the season. Ashley McIntosh also comes in 5th on that list with 15. The only non-Eagles on the list is Danny Jacobs, who racked up 16 rebounds against the Eagles in round 10.
* Chad Fletcher finished 7th in the AFL for goal assists with 29.
* Ben Cousins 1st (67), Chris Judd 2nd (66) and Daniel Kerr 6th (59) on the list for the leading playmakers. This means how many times a player has started an unbroken chain of possessions, leading to a score.
* Michael Gardiner was 4th (106) and Ben Cousins 8th (102) in the AFL for scoring involvements, this is a how many times a player has featured in an unbroken chain of possessions, leading to a score.
* We easily had the highest percantage of kicking long from kick ins than any other team. We average 11 kick ins a match, of which 7 of them we kicked long from, making 60%. No other team had above 50%.
* We had the second least amount of times kicking to self from a kick-in, with it only happening 9 times during the whole season. Amazingly, only once in the whole 22 rounds did a Geelong player kick to himself - that being when Ben Graham did it.
