An Interesting Statistic since 2008

[warren dean 193]

In the Bailey era, the only Victorian team we have defeated is Richmond. 2008 we beat Brisbane, Fremantle and West Coast (all at the G); 2009 Richmond, Port Adelaide, West Coast and Fremantle (all at the G) and this year Adelaide, Richmond, Brisbane and Port (3 at the G and one in Darwin). Just thought that was interesting!

Shows how crap we still are.

if this is the case in the next 3 years i will be worried but really not an issue for a rebuliding team IMO this year is about being competative for longer and game time into our young players so that they can grow together as a team

Yeah, we're still a fairly poor team. Improved on last year, which was an improvement on 2009, but we're still a bottom 5 team. I still stand by the opinion that we won't be playing finals footy until 2012. I don't think the club has intentions to be playing finals before then as well.

I think they would be hoping that a good draw and some luck might see us sneak in next year, but it's touch and go.

Here's something else. Brad Miller should never play against vic teams.

Think about all the good/ half good games his had and they all involve interstate teams. Port in Darwin, Brisbane in 08, Freo in 08, Freo in 06 semi, Sydney once. That's all i can think of which is sad considering his a 100+ gamer.

no, it shows how much more improvement we need.

last year and this year:

melb vs roos lost by 34 this year 26

melb vs pies lost by 56 this year 1

melb vs port lost by 57 won by 1

melb vs tiges won by 8 won by 55

melb vs crows lost by 17 won by 16

melb vs cats lost by 43 this year 58

melb vs eagles lost by 8 this year 29

melb vs dogs lost by 8 this year 4

and so on

so if you still believe we're crap then god help us!!

i think we have had a bit of an improvement but we need to play for quarters and none of this 3rd quarter come backs

We're better this year than we were, but we're still not good enough to beat Victorian teams at the MCG. I would argue that we're still crap based on that.

Useless statistic really, the fact of the matter is that we have been down there since 2007, completley rebuilt our list into young kids that are still learning. Compared to all the other vic sides all bar Richmond are physically more stronger than us!! i belive we can play finals next year, but maybe another 2-3 years before we become a genuine threat!!!
