The journos loves stats, devilhead, and we're flying under the radar by winning games which we've statistically lost.
The Blues dominated, statistically. Even Acres had 36 possessions, Cerra had 40 possessions, Mackay took 14 marks, Cripps was B.O.G., etc...
The scoreboard only tells half the story, and the stats are bound to catch up with us (tongue in cheek).

Re: Match Thread Saints v Blues Round 6 2023
The disposal stats are a lot less relevant than the scoreboard.
I would love to see the disposal stats broken down by where the stats are gathered.
We allow sides to flick the ball around in their half of the ground.
A lot of players get cheap possessions against us in the back half but we put an absolute premium on shutting down forward runs.
They were ahead of us in every single possession stat, we lead on the scoreboard and inside 50s meaning they had more of the ball but we used it better.
