So Norf have the worst defence in the league this season by a long way and are the worst intercepting team.

Their attack is held up by being the most efficient team and accurate team but otherwise provide the least opportunities and have the least scoring shots.

I put Essendon in there because despite hoping they fail and losing stringer their 2nd top goal kicker, kako is gonna be an immediate impact for them in f50. I don’t know if they jump up the ladder but maintaining the status quo of being 7-13 is likely.

The improvement levels needed for norf to climb into that 8-12 range are massive. FOS probably helps at HFF but their defence isn’t going to be much better, maybe they get more chances inside 50 from the midfield. Bottom 4 is very much on the cards again, especially with the sold home games.

can’t wait to see 10,000 Richmond fans to turn up at every Norf game next year to cheer on the opposition. Almost as excited to death ride this mob as I am to see our new draftees in action
Not sure they’ll need extra “support” for a low finish. They’ll do just fine off their own bat?? 😋

That alone is the biggest reason why they won't shoot up the ladder next year. Even if they start creating more opportunities that level of efficiency can't be sustained year on year.

They are miles off it but shouldn’t be given the picks they’ve had and have SuperCoach

Culture eats strategy for breakfast. I’d trust ours over theirs any day, any time.

I wonder how much of that efficiency is because the ball is up the other end of the ground, so their f50 is just open for easy chances on counter

Quick look, they average 59 i50s against in 2024, we were 2nd worst at 57 and then GWS 3rd last at 54. Probably very viable without watching them to assume that’s likely a reason based on stats.
