Basically the 6 week profile says that the Dons are the second hardest team to get a scoreboard return from a clearance (only Sydney slightly better) and second hardest to get a score from after a turnover
Also 11th best team âwith the footyâ (attack/scoring?) and 3rd best defensively. Generating 61 F50 entries a game and only conceding 46.
Also that âweâve not seen anything like thisâ defensively from Essendon; the best 6 week defensive stretch weâve seen from the Dons in a long long time
Belted in clearance last 2 weeks, if we let GC and Carlton do the same our defense will struggle.
The dudeâs a constant wet blanket, not where youâd wanna be I reckon, he was literally chiming in every opportunity to say âI donât believe itâ.
Look at the changes thread thereâs a virus literally sweeping the club now, a loss to GC wonât be the end of the world
Yeah what does this mean. My guess is itâs efficiency inside 50 combined with something else.
Worth noting that from the last 5 games weâre 3rd last for generating shots from inside 50 at 43%. Best teams are up over 50%.
Weâre getting 26 shots from 60 entries(Third most inside 50s in last 5 weeks). Interesting were 3rd for marks inside 50 but 12th for mark inside 50 rate.
This says to me we basically want a mark or 2 more a game and a couple more crumbing shots a game and will see our scoring spike by about 2 or 3 goals and we will jump up into top 4 with the ball.
The crumbing issue is one we need to figure out. Maybe we should just try tex or javey and see what happens. Hopefully Wrightâs hands get a little stickier too
Scott was hinting on this I thought. Spoke about the difference between filling your boots and winning the right way. I imagine that means we are sacrificing offensive potency for defensive integrity
I havenât really watched that show before, but watched last night. My comment was that maybe TV isnât for Sam Landsberger. (He had something wrong with his eye as well, which didnât help.)
And yet weâre 14th for contested possessions, 14th for tackles, 9th for goals, and 2nd on the ladder. Which is why I guess someone gets paid to do that crap.
