Quarter Season Report Card

[bulldogtragic]

Ok, I have us finishing top 4 so there's at least two finals (minimum, plus one or two more footy gods willing) plus 22 H&A games = 24 games and we've played 6. Ergo, we are quarter season in, at a minimum.

Results:

4 wins - Collingwood, Sydney, North & Brisbane - in Melbourne against bottom 6 clubs.
2 losses - Freo & GWS - in Perth & Canberra against top 8 clubs.
Percentage - No big wins or losses means percentage isn't great, isn't in the negative either. Currently 110%. But teams like Adelaide (152%) & Geelong (147%) are going big again like last year.

We lead in both our losses, and arguably should've won both. But didn't. Our wins haven't been overly convincing, but they're wins and we take them.

Existing injuries to Wallis (mid), Prudden (HBF), Tweedie (forward) & Redders (KPF). New Injuries to Roughy (1st ruck/fwd), Roarke (HBF), Dickson (key mid forward), Crameri (key forward), Cloke (CHF), Morris (key defender), Campbell (second ruck) & Lipinski (forward). In game concussions and/or serious head knocks to Tom Boyd (FF/ruck), Picken (everything and everywhere player), Libba (inside class) & Matty Boyd (HBF).

Game plans tweaked. Zone defence still used. Players rotating, successfully with Stringer doing some more midfield and Bonts hitting the scoreboard. Goal kicking, well, GVGjr can address it again.

So, how's the premiership defence going so far?
