All the data below is what the opposition did against Carlton. So in other words, if it says marks that means how many marks our opposition took. The data from 2000 to 2005 is pretty interesting.
This year was by far our worst year with respect to the other team getting the ball.
Again 2005 the worst.
The tackles data is interesting, I suppose if you don't get the ball you cannot get tackled.
I'm not sure if there is some error here. Did we really only allow less than 20 opposition hitouts per game in 2000-2001. The blowout here is quite amazing.
The clearances data reflects the hitouts data.
It certainly would be easier as a defender if the ball was not coming in as often. Interesting that this year was not too much different to 2003-2004.
This stat will be reflected across many others (is contested footy dead?).
The drop off in contested marking is quite pronounced. From about 28 down to 10.
Again, contested disposals way down.
Less contests, less 1%ers, now there are less of them are they even more important.
Welcome to error free footy, these numbers are dropping as well.
Big jump in bounces, an indication of less pressure on the opposition players?
6 years ago one in every 4 marks was contested, now it is only 1 in every 10!
1 in every 4 possessions was contested 6 years ago, now it is one in every 8.
These stats really do show that the game has been changing rapidly over the last few years.
All I can say is
Data from Pro-Stats.
