Surprising stats
There are far better stats gurus out there than myself, but I thought it would be good to have an area to post any stat you stumble across that is surprising.
First cab off the rank: Jackson Macrae is equal third in the competition for goal assists with 22. Bonti is two behind in 20.

us playing in 14 finals series since 1990 would surprise a few of even our own supporters I think. That very nearly a finals spot every two years.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

Yeah true. Plus a mystifying appearance in 1994 when we finished 5th, lost our first final (oh Billy you will be the king of Geelong tonight) but still went through to the semi final stage so we went deep quite a few times but couldn't get over the hump.

Jack Macrae this year is the only player in the entire competition to be Top 10 Contested Possessions & Top 10 Uncontested Possessions.

Re: Surprising stats
We have had one of the most settled sides for the season, with 9 players playing every game and another only missing one. Only Brisbane (11) has had more play every game.
Can we name all 9?

Without looking it up I'll go
Wood, Cordy, Bont, Macrae, B Smith, Hunter, Dunks, Naughton, Lloyd
They've done studies you know, 60% of the time, it works every time!

Re: Surprising stats
Article on afl.com about our goal kicking with a nice table on the difference in key stats between rounds 1-18 and rounds 19-23. Thats some form we're steam rolling into finals in.
Look at the goal kicking!

Re: Surprising stats
Wow we are smashing it. Need to maintain the rage.
But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.
