If we didn't sack Malthouse we would be playing finals by now.

LOL!!!!!!

Yes, it's a hard sell, the slow rebuild. Clearly media and certain supporters (and maybe others) are getting very fidgety.

Slow rebuild doesn't mean you are 4 from 41 4th year in. Slow rebuild means progressing up the ladder by the 4th year. Any idiot, even those of the highest order, knows that. Be unacceptable in a 2nd year, let alone a 4th. At some point you expect progress. where is it.

Wonder how many people thought we'd be 1-8 this year? Judd said last night he didn't see us at 1-8 at this stage. No one at the club, or anywhere else, expected Adelaide to be getting pick 1. Carey said last night he's just about to give up on Bolton, and he has been saying how talented our young list is. Said what we are producing is unacceptable.

Nothing much changed this week…our percentage improved by 0.3% despite the loss.

Harry maintained his lead in the goalkicking and is on target for a 35-40 goal season, maybe more if we can get going in the second half of the year.

[DJC]

McGovern has been criticised for lack of impact but he is hitting the scoreboard.  If he can stay on the park, he could realistically pass Charlie’s 2018 total.

The spread of goalkickers is promising, particularly since our forward line coach has plenty of work to do to achieve anything like cohesion from our forwards.

[Lods]

Bolton’s gone, but games go on.
It will be interesting to see how the change impacts on our scoring ability.

Our ‘Points Against’ are exactly the same as after round 11 in 2017, but we’ve lost a goal a game in attack.
We’re still looking a lot better than last year percentage wise….but the ‘Points For’ are slipping back to be almost on a par with 2018
The Curnow brothers are only separated by one point in their personal scoring battle.

-After a bit of a blowout in a few recent games the defence has started to tighten up again.
-Cripps's 4 have moved him up the goalkicking list. It would be good to see some more of that in the second half of the year
-We had a bit of a boost in percentage, back up to 77.3% which has taken a bit of a battering recently down from around 93% at it's peak.

It’s good to see a couple of midfielders among our leading goalkickers.

It’s good to see a couple of midfielders among our leading goalkickers.

In fairness, Ed's played just one game in the midfield for 2019 so far, and Cripps frequently rests forward! Not that it's a bad thing, but it's not the same as mids kicking goals.

My measure will be when midfielders start scoring by working forward as part of their midfield rotation, like when you watch Ablett Jnr charge forward out of the square to kick a goal or to rove a F50 marking contest, not when the mids resting in the forward pocket or playing as small lead up forwards!

Ed has played in the midfield during every game this season.  Admittedly he didn’t spend a lot of time there in the first couple games but his midfield minutes have ramped up since then.  Same with Gibbons.  I guess you could argue that half of Ed’s goals were scored when he was playing forward rather than working forward.

-Charlie goes BANG and moves to second on the goalkicking after a slow start to the year he’s every chance of beating last years total.

With the change of coach it might be interesting to chart the changes to the scoring from the end of Round 11 for the remainder of the year.
Will we be a higher scoring team?
Will our defence hold up?
How will the percentages compare?

The last two weeks results will mean that this initially will look good in comparison. Will that be sustained over the rest of the season or will those results come back to be closer together at the end of the year.

First 11 games
Totals
Goals-106 Behinds- 102 
Percentage 74.3 % (For- 738, Against- 993)
Average
Goals 9.6 Behinds 9.3
For 67 Against 90

Second 11 games (after 2 games)
Goals 26 behinds 22
Percentage 107.2% (For 178 Against 166)
Average
Goals 13 behinds 11
For 89 Against 83

* Those interested in a direct comparison-After 2 rounds of the season we'd scored 20-16 -136 to 27-23 -185...our percentage at the time 73.5%
