"Point of difference"

Post: # 1948070Post Waltzing St Kilda »

"Point of difference" seems to be the new jargon term. It's the reason I wanted the two King brothers in the side.

In lieu of that, we have nine indigeneous players. Seven playing last week.

I like it. I reckon we should ride it. Much better than the robotic Richo years.

It’s been around since last season at least. It’s become a bit of a cliche.

All it basically means is a unique strength/advantage which all teams have in one way or another.

Another one that became part of the coaching vernacular and was badly misunderstood was “small sample size”.

I sometimes think they like to use these phrases to make the game sound more complicated than it actually is.

Weasel words.

In my memory Brendan Goddard was the original “point of difference”
