Bluemour Season Blast Off Edition XXXIII

[Revenant1965]

I did those stats on I50, first because I'm bored at work (and apologies for errors), but also because I am excited by Weitering's return. I believe Weitering is our most important player. However, I thought that Weitering's absence might show in an increase in opposition I50s through repeat entries. But stats (and I note small sample size) don't seem to indicate that.

But I do think Weitering helps straighten us up with a stronger defence, that gives more confidence to midfield, which leads to better quality I50s for us. Games are won and lost between the arcs, but I wouldn't be surprised in these past few weeks we've been more toward defensive 50 than attacking 50.

Our scoring has definitely gone down since Weiterings been out. Whether it's because of it, or other reasons like the quality of our opposition, don't know.

But I think you're right that we have been a bit more defensive with some of our structures and wingers to try to cover the hole and help our defence more...meaning it's harder for us to be offensive and score ourselves.

Not only that but Weiters takes a lot of intercept marks which can lead to offensive chains and i50s instead of a d50 ground ball. Also frees up Young a bit and the two together can form a brick wall.

I don't have anything to back it up but to me it seems we have been switching the ball less since he has been out of the side. He has such good hands and a more penetrating kick than Young.

Weitering is not dropping the mark from the Young inward kick last Friday. Saints players try to spoil like they did on Kemp they end up out of position and Weiters has an open field.

I think they looked at it on AFL 360 and what they found was that our wings are dropping into D50 a lot more to help out, but on the other hand it means when we have the ball there's fewer targets upfield meaning transition from attack to defence is much harder.

Essentially as you said, but just confirming that the film shows this as the main reason.

Is Logical.
