How many expected this........

[Sainter_Dad]

Sorted - Number of Goal Kickers then number of Goals.

[SainterK]

Nice word SD, interesting numbers.

Can I say I did?

Scott said he wanted to get the balance right, and the most recent side he coached was #1 and #2 in defence/attack respectively. I know some people are getting frustrated, but it's evident where he is trying to get to I think?

[Spinner]

Don't mean to be negative... But this means very little if anything.

[Teflon]

This tells me exactly what I need to know .............my god the Eagles go ok.

[Verdun66]

For the more optimistic among us that's good news. More attacking options.

[clarky449]

Yep and we have the wins on the board, dont we?

[Enrico_Misso]

Great stat.

Will be interesting to see at the end of the season how many goals and how many players scoring more than 5.
And compare that with 2010 under Ross.

I suspect under Waterss
- a lot more goals
- a lot better spread

agreed
& also it must mean that the GWS are far more dangerous to lock down, half the no. of goals kicked but the exact same spread

[Griggsy]

Can there be a comparison of rounds 1-5 and 6-10. Have a feeling this is going to drop given the upcoming fixture.

I suspect under Waterss
- a lot more goals
- a lot better spread

And..
- a lot less wins.

GT pointed out on FC monday night though, that WCE have played Dogs, Demons, Gold Coast, Hawks, Tiges, North...

Certainly top 4 is looking a good chance for them, but other than Hawks, which was really close...they are where they should be

If you compare this year with last year, we have two more wins in the column don't we...let's not be too hasty to write off his efforts so far

NUP

The truth is we had one win and one draw at the same stage last year and not two more wins this year as you wrote but let's not let the FACTS get in the way

AND not forgetting we lost to Geelong by a point in round one only because Blake had a brain fade in the last minute!

let's not be too hasty to write off his efforts so far

Yes, we've had some real tough games against Port, Gold Coast, Bulldogs and Melbourne so three wins is a stellar performance!

How many wins do the Saints have now?

I thought they were 3-3?

Lets not think that Ross the boss defensive gameplan wasnt effective.

[evo]

Just not effective enough when it counted!

[clarky449]

Game plan was fine. The players werent.

[evo]

He had a hand in recruiting many of them.

[Devilhead]

Sitting 9th in the number of goals kicked and sitting 9th on the ladder - seems about right so not surprising at all

Their free kicks for has been ridiculously high too - a lot of them from duck cheating

[plugger66]

I must be strange as many will probably agree but that stat does nothing for me. We are 3 and 3 and have played 3 of the worst sides in the AFL. I still say winning ugly kills losing attacking footy. Yes we have scored more but come back and revisit that stat when we play some good sides. We have only played one side in the 8 and that was a home game against an interstate side. This isnt having a go at Watters. Just pointing out that we may be a little more attacking but we are losing ground defensively because of that.

[SaintPav]

Monday night is going to be very ugly.

[bigcarl]

Just pointing out that we may be a little more attacking but we are losing ground defensively because of that.

Correct. It's a consequence of not having most of our players behind the ball most of the time. It means that when we win we can potentially win big, but that there can also be some blowouts in the other direction as well.

We need to tighten up defensively and keep on attacking.

[WinnersOnly]

See how many we kick in the next few weeks ?
