Analysis Why are we s**t?

[Yoda_]

We average 6th most tackles per game, stats a little skewed

 

[faible]

And he missed the start of the season, that's just a little bit cooked, ooft.

Caldwell was our next most prolific tackler but has been out too, that plus one game less than anyone but GCS

 

[Vindicater]

We are 6th in total tackles however so clearly a more even spread.

I would suggest that shows our midfield has had lots of variation.

We're 16th?

 

[crackers65]

We are shit because we don’t have enough good consistent players. We have had high draft picks who either were not good enough from the start, have not developed or are injury prone. Hopefully no dudoro means better long term recruiting.

 

[Vindicater]

We're 16th?

Sorry, not total. We are 6th for average tackles.

Our total is inaccurate as we have played one less game.

Aren't a lot of our games really high in uncontested marks too so our tackle numbers would be naturally lower?

Thats not bad in isolation, but when you add

17th for tackles inside 50
16th for pressure acts

It paints a very beige picture.

Also if I've done it right we're 10th for tackles against, tackles inside 50 against and pressure acts against.

Reads like our games are bruise free football.

We've got some very pretty players, can't have those faces getting harmed.

Do these stats account for the fact we’ve played one less game than every other team (except GCS)? Or are they averages?

 

[Blind Turn]

Yeah, no matter the positive spin we’d like to put on it, that infographic makes for shit viewing and we need more players with tackling tenacity if we’re ever going to consistently contend again.

I want a Libba, a Tippa, and a Mark Johnson

Entirely consistent with the eye test, isn't it?

We've turned up for a battle on ANZAC day a few times but I've always gotten the impression that we're trying to play circle work because that is the only way we can win.

Scott has been really top notch at devising a strategy for the circle work to win. I don't think fans really appreciate that.

But why?

Everyone knows why we’re shit. We’re missing half our team against a top 2 side. It’s not rocket science

mate with a full list we are still a shit team

 

[ant555]

Can’t kick. Can’t handball. Can’t mark. Can’t defend.

 

[ant555]

mate with a full list we are still a shit team

Yes. Get used to it. This is going to take a while to fix.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

At least this time, while being shit, we are in a genuine rebuild.

 

[Goat Hird]

Can’t kick. Can’t handball. Can’t mark. Can’t defend.

So can't football

 

[doug85]

mate with a full list we are still a shit team

But we don’t have a full team. Not even close. we’d probably be a lot more competitive with a full team.

 

[fanuch]

[thebigboy]

9 players under 25 games. Tell me a side that is going to be competitive against one of the best & most experienced side. This is our reality and for once, it’s actually a healthy one
