I suspect it's being taken out of Supercoach or something like that, stats that might involve some arbitrary measure.
When the media write stuff like "Statistics Show" and do not link to the stats, be very very wary, it could be the figures are made up, or are based on rubbery sets of statistics! It could be Nana Mouskouri's Excel Spreadsheet
I know when felling disgruntled it can be comforting to find someone who bashes the club, emotionally we want to find a reason and tend to just agree with findings that support our feelings, but pause for a minute or two and remain sceptical.
Last weekend we basically outplayed the Dogs for 3-qtrs, but we were missing one piece of the puzzle, scoring. We were like the Titanic, nothing really fundamentally technically wrong, just a very very poor set of circumstances exacerbated by some bad decisions.
Everyone knows our mids are a poor kicking group...even new players like Acres are not that reliable and we even have our better kicking players like Weitering kicking poorly.
I like Sheiks idea of Saad up the ground and Id be playing someone like Boyd in his place down back who is meant to be a good kick and trying to kick longer and more efficiently and run the ball more.
Id be looking at Binns and Dow as well for that extra run and getting the ball out of the hands of Cripps, Hewett, Walsh and Kennedy more and getting rid of the Cotchin like disposals that take us nowhere.
