Heres a stat that mattered (read in the media somewhere)

15 of our inside 50's went stright to a Bulldogs player...not to a contest or open space.....am opposition player got to FIFTEEN of our inside 50's before a Saint did..now to me that is damning

Scary is what I call that...

The bounce/run carry stat is also pertinent IMO the few time Montagna/Jones did this we looked a different prospect.....

So that's nearly a third of ALL our I50 entries!

Are the players blind, stupid, can't kick properly, got the guernseys mixed up, or are they possessed by the devil even? :roll: :!: :?: :idea:

The team in possession of the football has a much greater chance of winning I would suggest. Our overall possessions of the football are not great, and lo and behold, we are not in the eight.
