Good to see them getting back to the accuracy from the earlier rounds this year

As hoyne said on sen mutiple times (and I've said, written and screamed aprox 1.32 million times) our issue in rounds 11-16 wasn't the mythical 'connection' issue every media person, and let's be honest many dl posters, were banging on about

Pundits also banged on about 'efficiency'.

That's closer to the mark, but needlessly semantically confusing - efficiency has mutiple meanings and connotations depending on the context.

For six weeks all goody was asked about was our supposed connection and efficiency issues. Poor bugger's head was exploding.

The bizarre thing is there is probably no other scoring 'issue' for which the cause can so easily be identified, and to boot from the most fundamental, oldest stat of all - the scoreline:

39.63

And if the footy 'analysts' did feel a need to do their job properly they might add another two completely obvious causal factors - three of thoe games were in horrendous conditions (a point goody and richo repeatedly made - and were ignored of course) and fatigue.

It is all like some weird gaslighting experiment.

The footy media spend most of the time making stupid, shallow, one data point, analysis that doesn't capture nuance and makes things too black and white simple.

Then something as black and white as this comes along and they make it ridiculously, needlessy obtuse and get it completely wrong.

All just for fodder for their drama, click bait machine.

Gippsland Dee's post above nails it in 15 words.

But that doesn't help fill air time or support some ridiculous narrative.

Surely thats because we are now lowering the eyes & trying to kick to forwards in good positions.

In rounds 10-15 we were either banging it in haphazardly or trying to kick long goals from 50m.

JVR over 70%...

V Pies - finals week 1 

69 inside 50s. Yes 69.
Melbourne 7.11 and EIGHT total misses. 7 majors from 26 shots at goal. Players panicked.  Trac refuses to try to score when inside 30. Handballed off 3 times to players under pressure. 
Collingwood 9.6 and a single miss. We lost due to poor connection into fwd50 and inaccuracy. Shot ourselves in the foot.  Forward craft is non existent.
