Footy Classifieds

[LostDoggy]

Just reported on Footy Classifieds that we went into the forward fifty, 49 times for 25 goals which is the third highest ever. First was Geelong's game against the Tige's in 2007
and the second was some Sydney game. Is this an omen?

Grant Thomas, actually said that if we keep this up we will be a force:

As in the conversion rate is the third best?

Re: Footy Classifieds

Yes, the third highest conversion rate per inside 50 in history.

Re: Footy Classifieds

it's a fancy way of saying we kicked straight.

Re: Footy Classifieds

Grant Thomas actually gave us a good rap. Reckons we now go in hard and could be a force.

Re: Footy Classifieds

Our efficiency going inside F50 was very good on Sunday. Helped that Freo's defence was poor, as was there midfield pressure, but we looked dangerous with the ball in our hand which was pleasing.

On Grant Thomas many people on this board think he hates us (TCD??) or atleast that he doesn't respect us, but we were shit when St.Kilda used to pound on us some 5 or 6 years ago, but now, as observed by GT we have a much harder edge to our game and are starting to gain the respect of the footy community (GT included) with the way we play.

Not just necessarily kicking straight.

It's the ratio to forward 50 entries to goals kicked. That is 51% of the times we entered 50 last week we scored a goal. I take the stat to be more about potency than just accuracy.

Re: Footy Classifieds

It was very good but I'll be properly excited if we can do something similiar against North this week.

Re: Footy Classifieds

Big test this week. North won't give our blokes the time and space for us to pinpoint our disposal as Freo did.

Re: Footy Classifieds

I think you may be giving the Roos mids too much here our mids should absolutly crush them

IF we play Freo every week then we will be a force.

Freo were as bad as Richmond, our first test is Sunday against North. Then next time we Hawks and Cats. I cant see much changing with our midget forward line.

(Yes, it was good to travel to subi, use the ball well and get a 63pt win)

Don't be so cocky, they've moved a couple in there who were really stong at their attack on the ball on Sunday in Ferrito & Harding. Yes, our mids should be better than theirs, but it's all about how they apply themselves & I think Laidley plans his match ups much more than Harvey does.

I recent years - Harvey, Petrie, Wells and McIntosh have killed us everytime. Lets hope we can put a stop to that recurring theme.

Much to the detriment of their defence which looks quite under-manned.

Re: Footy Classifieds

Yes it was great to use the ball so efficiently ... and 25 goals on the expanses at Subiaco is a great return.

But ... Freo kicked 94 points against us, a stronger side would have kicked more.

Even though I think Dale Morris was dead-set brilliant, we need to tighten our defence before we get too excited about our goal kicking ability
