Not just the scribes, Fagan and Scott were just as perplexed when we beat them in the finals as the stats showed they should have won.
Makes it so much sweeter. And Fagan got a double dose, final round in Melb then Qualifying final.
After RD 23 he noted they won the disposals, uncontested poss, contested poss, I50, Free kicks, clearances, tackles.....and the tigers had more clangers. SO they really only lost because the scoreboard had them behind. Next time would be different though. I'm sure he left the G super confident they would turn it around, based on their "statistical" dominance. And again the next week they won Fagan's key stats - disposals, cont poss, uncont poss, I50, free kicks, contested marks, marks I50 and again they had less clangers. Lachie Neal had 37 disp. Hodge had 27. Yet they got pumped by 50+ points this time, this time after leading by 3 goals in first qtr?.
