You seem to be desperate to discount something that is starting to look obvious. When this Bulldog team focuses on kicking as the first option they usually win.

Obviously there are other factors.

For example when we lost to Gold Coast the ratio was 159%. We lost the hitouts by more than 50, which didn’t help.

The following week we had the same ratio as Collingwood but also lost the hitouts by more than 50 again. And our tallest backman was the non-tall Cordy which also didn’t help.

Obviously kicking doesn’t always overcome structural weaknesses.
