Top work right there.
Out of curiosity, what's our average winning margin? Small sample I know!

In the past thats true but I think they are due and might get a return out of the Smith, Cameron, Higgins recruitment and make the GF this season.

What about the 1.10 with Mark Arceri kicking our only goal for the game in the last quarter?

EDIT: Bricky beat me too it.

Smith comes from the premiership factory and apart from the miss in the Prelim, he is a big game performer. Higgins will fill his shorts, Danger and Cameron will go to water as will Henderson and 2E.

I thought the latter two were shot and headed for oblivion but seem in rare form which is annoying.
Without Richmond in the frame I think Geelong will fancy themselves, just my opinion.

I was wondering if I ever saw us kick worse at goal then remembered I was at the game against Hawthorn in 1980 when we kicked 14 points straight in the last qtr against Hawthorn to lose it. To add insult to injury, then Dominator kicked an impossible goal on his wrong foot after the siren, which saw as lose by 2pts.

Another example was a game at the Western Oval against Footscray that I had watched. We kicked something like 4 - 24 to lose. Alex Ruscuklic, our FF that season, kicked 1 goal 9 behinds from 12 shots. Had he kicked straight, he would have outscored the Dogs by himself. He had 15 marks that day, from memory. His goal was with his left foot off the ground in the goal square

Coaches' votes :

I would have put Weiters at 1 and Walsh at 2 but I guess even the coaches dont find a gun KPD sexy despite putting on a masterclass against one of the more experienced power fwds on the comp.
Interesting the Italian keeper was name player of the tournament, love a good defender I do. Gun Defences win premierships (and Championships) in any code.
