We were very good for about 2/3rds to 3/4ths of last season, but it sort of deserted us late in the season. (This is just going on Hoyne from Champion Data and his weekly stats segments in SEN last year)So it makes sense to have a very good turnover game as you get far more opportunities to score via that method.
We have been good with our turnover game over the last few years haven't we?
Prior to that we were a far more dominant score-from-stoppage team which was why a fair few "experts" maintained their reservations about us even when we were up and about in 2019-2022.
Empirically we all saw it in 2022 as well. Remember how much trouble we'd have getting the ball back off the opposition whenever we lost it, and how exposed we looked defensively. Unfortunately this came back to haunt us in the Grand Final last year.
