But can we beat the Crows or Eagles?

[Zlatorog]

What about Collingwood? It looks tome they are up there as well. On Saturday they were very close to win the game against Eagles. Don't underestimate them.

We had 40 shots at goal on Saturday. If we could get all of them in, then we'll be fine when the time comes.

This is all the more impressive when you consider that we had only 47 inside 50s. But Richmond are a rabble; we would have scored only 20 times against a quality side. We need to increase the inside 50's to more than 50 a game.

Now imagine if we had 60 inside 50's against the Tiges. What would the score have been?

Inside 50s is an tricky stat. Most times we went inside 50 last week we found a target and scored. In many games, often the gets cleared outside the 50, only to be pushed straight back in etc. Often you can have 3 or 4 inside 50s in a few seconds and the ball is just bobblig between the 55 and 45 metre area. Give me 2 decisive inside 50s that hit targets than a dozen entries that are just pushed or scrapped in there and are easily cleared.

Inside 50 stat doesn't mean much if you don't hit a target. The Swans were very good last Saturday in hiting the targets in their F50 as oppose to Tigers who weren't so behind in the count, but were unable to find targets tehre (except Richo).

I think LRT's disposal has improved out of sight. It's his head that needs work (and in so many ways).

On Saturday because we were smacking the Tiges by so much the MMM team just went silly by 3/4 time - but I laughed out loud when Mike McLean said "go on LRT, kick it, go on, just for once, just for me, damn another hand pass!" to then add "LRT has the decision making skills of a Junkie" Well Ange, Go Swannies and I laughed!
