It's a simplistic view but I just checked the stats for avg scores per game and divided it by avg inside 50s per game:

1 West Coast Eagles

2 Hawthorn

3 GWS Giants

9 North Melbourne

4 Richmond

12 Melbourne

7 Adelaide Crows

5 Collingwood

16 Geelong Cats

14 Gold Coast Suns

5 Sydney Swans

11 Fremantle

17 Port Adelaide

15 Carlton

7 Western Bulldogs

10 St Kilda

18 Brisbane Lions

13 Essendon

We come in 6th, scoring 47% of the time we go inside 50.

Not too shabby

I wouldn't call it simplistic, its a good indicator of a forward lines effectiveness

Would be nice if we could drag ourselves off the bottom of the league for inside 50's in 2016

h_h. I was going to ask how do we rate on I 50 numbers?

And AJ . How does our goal conversion rate (as compared with scoring rate) rank?

17th.. just a whisker ahead of Brisbane

Was similar last year from memory. Strange. Would have guessed it was teams not committing as much in defence against us but it doesn't add up with the company we do and don't keep on that list.

Our skills are still appalling, we turn it over by hand and foot way to much coming out of the back half and through the middle.

If we can tidy this up we just might be dangerous.

It is testament to that forward line and how well it functions that we can get near a winning score with so few Inside 50s.

Good OP.

We score well on the rebound when we can create fast ball movement. "Slingshot" J Brown was calling it during the Cats game, if we can break the press and get it out of our backline, we're very good at scoring...

Weren't we in the top 3 of the league at one point under Neeld, for this stat... When we were losing by enormous amount week in, week out?

14th.

Conversion has been an issue.

IIRC, we were definitely high up in this stat in 2009 under Bailey.

I remember hearing about it in the last game of the season against St. Kilda and nearly falling off my chair.

Leading goalkickers: Robbo, Bate, Jurrah.

...WHEN WE GET THE BALL INTO THE FORWARD LINE, UNFORTUNATELY, IT DOESN'T HAPPEN OFTEN ENOUGH.

You've obviously never read anything BBO posts, nor waded into the T$B$ thread.

I'm envious.

I find all of BBO's posts to be on accurate and completely topical, I don't know what you mean.

As for the T$BS thread, again, it is a bastion of knowledge and insight

regarding bananas.
