Great thread guys - keep it up...

Too true.
This is a bit of smoke and mirrors fun from Jarusa.
This thread is based on average statistical data.
Our average disposal statistics this year are within 3% of 2000.
In 2000 we won about 15 straight.
In 2006, we'll be lucky to win 2 in a row.
Effectiveness, our data compared to our opponents, statistical comparison of the AFL in general over that timeframe, none of those are factored in.
Move along citizens.
(BTW Jar, when you're stooping this low to find positives for Pagan, even you must be concerned) 
You understand me well BV, always have.
My thinking WRT Pagan is along much the same line as dannyboy's, so yes in reality we are not that far apart.
I'm just putting it out there for people to discuss. With these things sometimes I just put it out there without any of my own commentary initially to let people make their own impressions, good or bad.
I know guys like you and Synbad will pick it apart and that is good, I respect that and like it when people actually go to the trouble of thinking through the good and bad points about a particular set of stats.
If I can prompt a BV one liner I am even happier. That cricket one was a ripper and gave me a fantastic laugh.
I think some observers take our by-play the wrong way sometimes. I really follow the Dilbert Principle on here, the only people I engage with seriously are those I respect.
