Stats aside, just look at how easily opposition defenders clear and launch attacks.
    We are number one for Disposals, so means we have the ball more and don't tackle as much overall.

    Launch attacks, but we have the 6th best defence in terms of points against and 3rd best for Points 4.

    Disposals. How many of them are the ring-a-rosy hand passes that result in turnover or kicks straight to the opposition ? tthe turnovers Bev emphasised in his post match presser. We play more diagonally since mid season. Stats don?t lie but they don?t always tell the full story. The defence is cleaner with O?Donnell instead of Gardiner, the improvement of the whipping boys Bramble, Vanderneer and the mids are a massive improvement on the last 2 1/2 years because of Richards, Bont?s current form and Treloar?s never been better. Now back to the Achilles Heel. Get yourself a seat at ground level at half forward, you?ll see it for 2 quarters.
