3rd in marks a shock but the rest isn't a surprise. Obviously trying to play keepings off and getting caught with the cherry.
To state the obvious, another ruck might improve the stats considerably.

You have scored more than StKilda to this stage

Your 3 games from the 8

Cant see why you cant make it

Not saying it will be easy

Your just not kicking enough goals

These are the ugly ones to me:

Ranked 13th in Tackles Per Game
Ranked 16th in least Opponent Tackles Per Game
Ranked 16th in Team to Opponent Tackles Per Game Diff.

Ranked 14th in Hitouts Per Game
Ranked 14th in Team to Opponent Hitouts Per Game Diff.

The hit-outs are perhaps excusable, given that Twister is shouldering the load almost by himself, the 'third man up' tactic clearly isn't working. We'll have to see what difference Skipper will make there.

But our tackling pressure hasn't been any where near good enough and we are being caught with the ball too much. The midfield hasn't exactly been settled, this will be the first game this year Sammy and Sool will have played together. Burgoyne's first game too, but that's offset by the loss of Bateman. Lewis doesn't seem to mixing it in there too much, he seems to be playing more of an outside role.

Our clearances and tackling have to get a lot better. Maybe mix up the personnel and tactics at stoppages since it looks like opoosition teams have us sorted out there at the moment.
