There are lies, damn lies and then there are statistics!

I wonder how convincing the two H&A wins were for these teams...I remember it was only a matter of time before we smashed Collingwood last year. Carlton lost their game to Brissy through their own stupidity. Collingwood beat Sydney by 1 point in 2007, etc, etc. Can't read much into what you see on paper...Bulldogs have been pretty convincingly pumped by us on both occasions, I feel safe.
