R3 update - We are now 4 goals ahead so far

[Enrico_Misso]

At the AGM Ross promised a more attractive and attacking style of footy.

He said his aim was to increase our average score by 2 goals a game.
Up from 14 to 16.

12 last night (though we only played 3 quarters).
Mind you if the 3rd quarter is the sign of things to come I would be more than pleased !

[Ice Wolf]

We finished the game with only 2 players on the bench and we were playing Sydney, 12 Goals is pretty good for the circumstances, and it could easily been more had some of our shots been better.

[vacuous space]

Didn't these two teams combine for 12 goals in the opener last year? I'm pretty content with the way we scored after quarter time. We didn't look as stagnant as usual either.

You should be pleased then as we are 6 in front of this time last year.

12 last night.

Only 6 last year.

So we are actually +4 on what RL indicated... and not -4 as per the title of your OP......


Just goes to show that there are stats...and stats...

[Enrico_Misso]

and a sample size of 1 is not conclusive

I will, however, keep tabs on this statistic as the season unfolds.

Playing Sydney so I would suggest we are 6 goals in front of our average......

Bump

After 3 Rounds we are now 4 Goals ahead of the 16 goal average.

There seems to be a real effort to play more attacking and "watchable" footy.
Ross in his presser tonight was begging supporters to sign up and turn up.
Looks like he has decided (been pressured ?) to try and bring fans back.

Is it a genuine desire, or a response to the GFC (Global financial crisis or Geelong footy club - take your pick) ??

who gives a F*** about marketing we won.......

Marketing is essential in the current AFL to be cmpetitive in the longer term.

Greta to win a game but if we are well marketed, sponsorship grows, the club grows and gets more bums on seats at the ground.

This will provide better TV deals, and ground deals with the afl. Ultimately this means more wins.

Marketing is a must nowadays.

[Rickabee]

Successful marketing means improved income for the club and more $'s available to the Football Dept. We need to continue what Westaway has started with greater resources available to improve the team development.
