I cant recall teh thread or the poster from yesterday or the day before but quite a comprehensive list of what Carlton as a team is top4 in stats THIS YEAR and what it is not doing well at is- the stats as evidence of where the team sits versus opponents is fact Soap - not 'opinion'.
From memory contested ball #1, tackles top4, - if that isnt by in - I don't know what is.
Devil's advocate cause I can't be arsed keeping track of who believes what in this discussion:
Could we be #1 for contested ball, top 4 for for tackles etc. because we have a list and team each week that is geared towards those stats? Cripps and Hewett alone would have us in the top tier for both measures, and TDK playing for a monster contract would also be giving effort at the coalface.
If we accept that premise - that we have a list built for the contest - then ranking highly in those stats isn't a reflection of gameplan buy-in at all, it's just a correlation between list profile and expected output.
