We have dominated the stats sheet.
192 disposals to 152
Clearances 25 to 19, with 9 centre clearances to 4.
14 free kicks to 6.
29 inside 50's to 25.
83 contested possessions to 68
30 hit outs to 24.
And yet we cannot kick a goal.
What does this say about our skills? Do we have any?
What does this say about our playing list?
What does this say about our gameplan???
Ignorance is bliss.
ONWARDS AND UPWARDS!

It's true, plus we have a game plan that creates stoppages and contested possessions even when we are occasionally using the ball well our game plan makes a stoppage!
So in this respect the stats are a bit of a lie!
FYI, I heard the "Expert Commentators" on radio complaining that Freo's tackling is down this year, King, Luff and Half on SEN. That is because Freo's clear possessions and efficiency is up about 20% and nobody is getting close enough to them to create a turnover! They ignore that teams tackle when they don't have the ball!

For the betting types - we're $2. Looked like the Saints stopped running in that quarter. They could be buggered and are an awful list. Easy way to double your money IMO.

It's great, the players can't get enough ball or use it well enough!

Things of note while munching on fush n chups and a packed chilly bin..
We are very highly killed team.
Our ball use around stoppages is to die for.
We always put the ball on the chest by hand or foot.
Use of the ball around the ground is always to our advantage.
The leaders out there lead by example.
We always work well together and communicate, we never get to many at the ball.
Four up and none down is a certain way to will a contest. etc etc
Carrazzzo , Murphy, Gibbs are superstars who perform week in, week out.
Carrots, slower than escargot in garlic sauce !!

You mean the bloke that's kicked half our goals and our seasons leading goal kicker needs to be played out of range of goal!
That would be like trying to stop the ocean by adding some sand bags, you know eventually the ocean will win! Better off to just let him learn to swim!
