The Hard Road To The Premiership

[LP]

What are the reasons why those averages are so low ?

1. We simply don't possess the ball enough to generate a larger number of I50's.
2. The quality of I50 entries are poor, so shots are from too far out, awkward angles etc.
3. The actual players you mention are simply crap goal kickers.
4. The wrong players end up with the shots for goal
5. Lack of work rate all over the ground, especially the forward line
6. Poor decision making - i.e picking the wrong option in F50

etc.

and FWIW, I wouldn't want Cripps taking shots for goal, at least not very often.

Well actually we are far from the lowest I50 team, but our efficiency of scoring from I50 is about the lowest. When you see our blokes marking I50 but chipping the ball sideways it's a tell!

I think you'll be shocked, Cripps will be taking shots for goal Fyfe style because he is that type of midfielder. He's certainly not a Mitchell, Lewis or Hodge and they average next to nothing! I don't see Cripps sitting on the defensive side of stoppages looking to give the ball off, he's going to be in the thick of things winning possessions. Cripps should be targeting at least one goal a game from a free I50 as a result of a stoppage infringement.
