Swans premiership coach Paul Roos believes the Swans’ collapse after a seemingly unassailable lead atop the AFL ladder can be explained by one simple set of numbers.
Asked to explain why the Swans have tumbled from premiership favourites to crisis point, Paul Roos points to one set of numbers.112-point flogging by Port Adelaide,“The contested ball numbers were just smashed on the weekend, which is un-Swans like,” Roos told this masthead.
Roos now lives in Los Angeles but follows AFL on a local channel and is in Melbourne for a fortnight with his leadership company before flying to Sydney for Friday night’s Swans-Collingwood match, which the Swans must win to stay top of the ladder. The worst falloff in attack has been their turnover scoring differential, which has gone from 21.7 to -20 and in which the Swans have fallen from first to 17th in the league. In accuracy at goal, the Swans have fallen from second to 15th. In defence, their ranking for turnovers scored against has also plunged from first to 17th.
