Don't think our midfield kicks enough goals with the exeption of Simmonds, Tuck & Hyde? Think that's an area we could improve.

1. Kayne Pettifer 24 - hf
2. Troy Simmonds 20 - midfield
3. Matthew Richardson 19 - f

10. Richard  Tambling 7 - f

4 of the top 10 are midfielders.

We're ranked 15th in goals per game. Maybe we just aren't kicking enough goals.

Here's a list of where we may need to improve.

Well done Phantom.


Are we good at anything? ;D

These are the real Shockers IMO

Ranked 16th in Tackles Per Game

Ranked 16th in 1%ers Per Game


We are clearly a lazy, unnaccountable side when we don't have possession.
 
Pretty damning stats there Phantom. Would say a lot of those got blown out in games up until (& including) the Sydney game.

We're pretty damn fine in 100+pt beltings by our opposition.
 
By the look of those Stats Phantom has supplied us then I reckon TW wouldn't be too happy with his so called Performance Indicators.

The main KPI is ladder - 9th.
 
Having midfielders who can kick goals is handy but not the major issue. It's more important to have a reliable group of forwards who can make a contribution most weeks. The table lists the total goals scored by each club's top 6 goalkickers:

Co 154
Ad 151
WB 143
Me 140
Sy 134
St 129
Br 123
Fr 120
Ge 117
Ha 114
Ka 113
WC 109
Ca 101
Ri 98
PA 97
Es 94

West Coast is the only top 8 side in the lower half. Their lack of key forwards is well known and considered their major weakness.

We have been hurt by injury to our two most capable goalkickers in Richardson and Brown and also possibly Schulz.
 
stats these days mean little in a game. too many stats are cheap possessions.

The only stat that really counts is goals kicked for and against.

I dont find its so much the lack of midfielders kicking goals the problem, its the key forward positions (full forward / centre half forward) that are not getting enough goals.

Interestingly, Melbourne are #1 in these 2 areas. Is that the difference?

Brisbane are #2 and #6 yet are below us. Shows TW's ingenuity in that we've performed better than a number of clubs despite trailing the competition in two areas usually considered fundamental to success. TW would be well aware that we need to alter this strategy in future to beat good sides. Have faith.
