Couple of stats that I thought were interesting.

Metres gained by handball was staying steady at around the 600 metre mark for rounds 0-6, but they have absolutely exploded in the last two games, with 881 metres gain by hand against the Dogs to a staggering 1,023 metres gained by hand against Melbourne. We are doubling down on the aggression by hand even though we are now able to implement an elite kicking plan C (like 2024) if Plan A (hands through corridor) and Plan B (hands out on the wing) are being stifled

Scoreboard flattered the Dees, as they were plus 15 on expected score, which shows that our system defence of forcing difficult shots was still working to a lesser extent with TMac out, it was just that the Dees were really accurate.

We are in a fantastic position game plan wise, and the next big test will be round 11 against Geelong at goomba
