We’ve been lucky so far that easy misses haven’t hurt us this finals series. At 3/4 time we were going at 35% accuracy. I don’t want it to hurt us next week. Finals accuracy:
Good: Weightman 5.1, Naughton 4.0, Smith 4.0, Schache 3.0, Libba 2.0
Average: Hannan 3.3
Poor: Vandermeer 1.3, Bontempelli 0.3
