    That Jesse stat is damning.

    Seriously that last stat about 9th and 10th makes no sense at all.
    Nothing like a good light bulb moment.

    Couple of stats that do make sense and say something about the Swans this year.

    From The Age/SMH:

    Numbers from the AFL's official statistics supplier Champion Data show Sydney do not get as much value from their forward thrusts as other clubs.

    They rank fourth for most forays inside 50 this year but, with 48.8 per cent, are 11th for converting those entries into scoring shots. The Hawks rate first in both categories.

    The Swans also rate modestly for marks inside 50, their average of 11.2 a game putting them 10th in the competition. Fremantle are the only other side in the eight who do not rate in the top eight in this department.
    But we are the only club to have eight players to have kicked 20 goals or more. We kick long into the forward 50, and score our goals far more from fast breaks, from stoppages or crumbing than from marks.

    But according to AFL.com.au we've improved our efficiency in the last month (this may be in part due to the GWS and Bulldogs games):

    In the past month the Swans have scored 12.7 per cent more often than its opposition once entering its forward 50. That's an area where it stands head and shoulders above the rest.

    Sydney Swans are a not a big marking team, one query in September, but it uses the ball well by hand in tight. Those quick hands are hard to stop
    The man who laughs has not yet heard the terrible news
