    I'm heading into the season with no great expectations... I think 8 wins shohld be the aim and been comptetive as we were last year. If our first half of th season last year is what out whole season is this year I'll be happy. Having said that we turn those close loses to port twice, doggies twice and then throw in a couple of improved efforts against the likes of brisbane and GWS then there's no reason we couldn't won 10 games.. The side had to learn how to play football to an AFL standard last year, most players on our list didnt know what was required and how to work hard both ways. I put our late season poor form down to players tiring. Another pre season under roos (which from all reports has stepped up) this side knows what to expect and how to deliver it.

    I agree with you for a lot of stats but for inside-50 differential the correlation and importance is completely undeniable

    I remember you bringing this up last year and trying to explain to people the importance of inside 50's. Mate, if they don't understand then don't worry about them. There is no point in having 500 disposals unless we get the ball inside 50 to score, these simpletons don't get it C&B.

    Really? Teams that kick the ball into their forward line more than their opposition win more games?!

    You've got to be kitten me!

    C&B is right with this one so there's no need to argue it with him. We need to average at least 50 inside 50's a game to be close to the final 8.

    lol

    Yeah, I should take more notice of stats like Inside 50 counts...

    Maybe I should do a few threads on important KPIs and stats and stuff, and when I see improvement I will put it in my sig...

    Or maybe I have been boring people for years with that stuff, I don't know, I can't remember, I cleared my cache...
