A slightly worrying statistic is the number of quarters we've won this year and also in our past three wins.
Of 36 quarters, we've won 15, drawn 2 and lost 19 (for 5 wins).
In our past 3 wins, we won only 6 quarters out of 12.
As comparisons:
West Coast 25-1-10 (8 wins)
Geelong are 21-0-15 (7 wins)
Richmond are 17-1-18 (7 wins)
Melbourne 23-0-13 (6 wins)
Adelaide are 22-1-13 (5 wins)
Kangaroos are 14-1-21 (5 wins)
St Kilda are 20-0-16 (4 wins)
Fremantle are 19-1-16 (4 wins)
W Bulldogs are 15-0-21 (4 wins)
Port Adelaide are 12-2-22 (3.5 wins)
Hawthorn are 18-1-17 (3 wins)
Brisbane are 16-2-18 (3 wins)
Essendon are 16-0-20 (3 wins)
Carlton are 14-1-21 (2.5 wins)
Collingwood are 14-1-21 (2 wins)
Indicates that we are not performing well for full games, even when we win.
So, in 2005 we have won 42% of our quarters, and only 50% in the past 3 wins. Last year we won 49% overall and in 2003 we won 56%.
I think a good sign would be a winning percentage of mid 50s to low 60s in a season, while you'd want to see about 75% in games you win.
