As we had into our team's Bye Round there are certain aspects the coaches and players will be paying close attention to.
After the Collingwood match, it's clear that one of those areas are clearances.
Whilst he have some players setting records for clearances (see here, here and here), as a team our good quarters and bad quarters seem to reflect our high clearances and low clearances efforts.
For example, last week the biggest difference between the 3rd and 4th quarters was the clearances.
In the 3rd we won clearances by 8 but in the last quarter we lost clearances by 10.
