I've just got through explaining how stats can show a style of gameplan and (in this style at least) are best suiting to 'vs opponent' comparisons.
Your collingwood example is great. But they could lose the inside 50 count every week.
So should it be celebrated that they are 4th?
It is actually possible that a team who is last in inside 50's actually wins the inside 50 count every week too.
You wont win many games being last or close to last for Inside 50's and the same with clearances, add poor disposal efficiency(14th) ..good luck
being a forward in Navy Blue on that set of numbers...couple that with poor conversion(Matt Wright excepted) when we do get the ball down forward and its
tough to win. The game plan of defensively strangling the opposition and hoping to kick rebound goals is great in a learning phase when you are teaching basics and defensive techniques but obviously cant be retained long term.
