after 2 rounds stats dont tell a real lot, particularly those stats coming against more mature bodied and experienced midfield.
they'd be even worse without big ivans input.
speaking of which, i saw somewhere we were ranked 2nd (in a good way) for hit outs to advantage against, but again 2 rounds doesnt give a great insight.
True, but if you were a coach you'd be wanting to nip this in the bud pretty quick before it became a trend
probably more damning than overall numbers is the large differential in contested possessions and clearances between us and the opposition in our first 2 games.
In dimmas first year we matched most sides in these 2 stats, even when getting beaten easily. where we got smashed was in the uncontested disposals.
last year we greatly improved our uncontested but dropped right off in contested, and it seems that trend is continuing
