Goodness, Raglan! There are no teams who hit targets consistently well in good positions any more. None. Not even Hawthorn.
Granted, Freo would appear to be pretty bad in 2016 based on the ciritical moment howlers we've all witnessed, and possibly on the % efficiency stats that I can't be bothered to look up right now - By the way I think this is a pretty useless stat and would put money on the difference between the highest and lowest team on this stat being 4 or 5 % at max, so if 75 out of 100 kicks hitting a target for one team makes them so much more winningish that the other team with 71 kicks out of 100 hitting a target then I'll whistle dixie even though I don't know how it goes.
But man, oh man, all the talk during the unprecedented period of on-field confidence that was the first 2.5 months of the 2015 season was the fitness base of 40% more running during pre-season. Bone breakages, whacked backs, rolled ankles, deep corkages and snapped hamstring fibres from overstretching when shoved were what brought it all undone.
2016 Freo have neither the fitness base nor the capability to absorb or cover the crash bang snap injuries, so we're fooked.
