The bad stat: Every club's battle with an ugly set of numbers

RICHMOND

The Tigers struggled to score last season, ranked 15th with less than 80 points a game.

While there was any number of reasons for that, their inability to transition the ball efficiently from one end of the ground to the other was telling.

Richmond ranked 17th for moving the ball from its defensive 50 to inside 50, doing so just over one in every six times they attempted it.

Once the ball made it to the forward half, the Tigers struggled to generate turnovers, intercepting the ball in the front half better than only two other teams.

And thus in a nut shell  we see why our game style was rope able last season. The forward 50 stat is a result of every team having flooded  back by the time the ball gets to their 50.

It was all due to this mentality of not playing on versus the dogs who kept the ball alive non stop.
