Yeah last week if you had told me we lost contested possessions and won by 48 points I wouldn't have believed you.I think stats can tell you a lot of interesting things but you can't assume they are predictive or that things will just repeat. Too often poeple make far too strong conclusions based upon data that to be honest isn't that precise for AFL.
We don't have a game like baseball where the variables are easy to isolate, so can't make too big a deal out of it. But I do think that stats can give us a useful insight and I find some of them interesting enough to pay attention to.
We played against all our key metrics and looked the best we have all year really.
