Interesting stat shared by Lovett and Peake...

[S.A Saint]

Misleading stat?

Chew on this... Riewoldt, Koschitzke and Milne have been top 4 goalscorers in the last 3 years - whether the Saints finished 1st, 4th, or 9th.

I'd suggest that a good performance in a poor team is a good performance, full stop.

Not sure what I'm supposed to be chewing on exactly.

Peake kicked 14 goals for the season.

I don't think that, coupled with the fact only three Freo players kicked more than 14 goals, is reason for great excitement.

St Kilda's 4th leading goal scorer, Schneider, kicked 34. If Peake's numbers were similar I would be excited.

you need to look at the postions they play aswell..peake is usually used across half back on the wings and half forward..schneider on the other hand spends most of is time in the forward like and has players such as dal lenny bj chips and co delivering the ball constantly to the forwards...if you want to get a better measure of goals, add up the total goals kicked for both sides and then see what percentage of their respective teams schneider and peake kicked...im pretty sure peake would have a higher one

Yeah, haven't seen too many Freo games so was unaware of where he was playing this year. Point taken. If he's constantly in a more dangerous position with us hopefully he can slot a few more.


And to Inker, re Pavlich, a switch from the forward line to midfield is obviously going to see you kick less goals.

Peake will be fine hes got the drive in him to work hard and his pace is a great assest ... will he be a star prob. not but im sure we will get some good contribution from him ...
