We have superstars Cripps, Gibbs and Murphy in the middle.
The best ruckman in the comp in Kreuzer.
The best HBF in Docherty with Simpson right up there.
The best kids in the comp according to the rising star award.
Why are we still crap?
You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink.
FWIW, for the season thus far we have 695 inside 50's. Only Brisbane (694) is worse.
Yet, they average almost 3 more scoring shots a game compared to us.
So is it their mids delivering the ball to their forwards better?
Or it their forwards making better use of the delivery?
Looking at marks inside 50 actually shows that we average almost 3 more marks inside 50 a game compared to the lions.
So our forwards are marking the ball 3 times more a match inside 50, but overall we are having 3 shots less a game at goal?
Does that sound like a midfield problem or a forwardline problem?
FYI, our overall disposal efficiency is higher than the lions, despite us being last in handballs (an easier skill to execute).
Our goal accuracy is worse though, not surprisingly. But that doesn't account for the lack of scoring shots by comparison.
In short...
We are getting the ball inside 50 the same amount as the lions.
We are using the ball better with a higher disposal efficiency than the lions.
We are marking it inside 50 more than the lions.
We are kicking at goal worse than the lions.
We are having less scoring shots a game than the lions.
Why am i using the lions? Because they are on a par with us for inside 50's so it makes all the other stats comparing apples with apples. Also in a similar position ladder wise.
Remind me again of where some people think the problem is?
