Our total number of shots from 60 inside 50's - We managed four more inside 50's than the Swans yesterday. We also managed to have two more shots from inside 50's, meaning our efficiency inside 50 was 42%, compared to Sydney who's efficiency was 41%.

 

 Our total number of tackles - In our five games prior to this one, we'd averaged 67 tackles per game. Yesterday we saw one of our best tackling performances in some time.
