Every time we have managed over 100 points in a game, the following week has seen a significant drop in scoring of at least 27% and as high as 69% against the Saints.

Wonder if the rollercoaster is more to do with the team's form or the tactics of the opposition coach who would have seen the high scoring game?

The trend so far in 2007:

Rnd 1: 115
Rnd 2: 84
27% drop

Rnd 3: 125
Rnd 4: 39
69% drop

Rnd 5: 124
Rnd 6: 82
34% drop

Rnd 8: 130
Rnd 9: 86
34% drop

Rnd 10: 138
Rnd 11: ???

Every time we have managed over 100 points in a game, the following week has seen a significant drop in scoring of at least 27% and as high as 69% against the Saints.

It will be interesting to see if this trend continues tonight, or if we can buck it and score another impressive total.

We have the second highest score for in the league, and it's time we started to register these big scores week after week instead of every second week.

I think you're looking at scores in a very specific manner, which is not something you can reasonably track as a trend, given we play at different venues, against different teams with different tactics (for and against) each week.

You could just as easily say "each week when we score less than 100 points, the next week we score more than, an increase of...."

You know the saying: Lies, damn lies, and statistics.

Here is a trend:

Going into last week, we hadn't won for 6 games. We won.

Going into tonights game, we haven't beaten Port Adelaide in our last 6 attempts. We win.

You gotta love trends . . . theres one out there to suit everyone.

I don't mind scoring under 100pts providing the opposition score less than us.

Good observation but just one coorection, the 69% drop off was against the Eagles.

make sure you post next week verbs
