Quantifiable or conjecture?
No, I felt it was an obvious shift in the early distribution of points and over course of the game. Thought we had plenty of discussions on it last year. Much more consistent throughout the game, and less scaling once the game was done than previous seasons. Not suggesting anything untoward - but I thought the shift was pretty recognisable, but not really reflected upon from CD or SC officialdom. Just my recollection. You'd have guys on 97 at half time, who played just as well in second halves and would end up on 110. I think there was a shift in distribution or interpretation within the game, that's all.

Think Xerri will have some 100+ games if he's going to be the #1 ruck. Didn't do much today and still scored 80. May have to get him back in if Brodie/Rachele don't fire.
Scoring potential isn't the issue, it's his JS. Looks like Xerri no. 1 ruck, Goldy ruck/fwd, CCJ VFL, is clear way to go. But I'm worried that it will only take 1 bad game for them to drop him and give CCJ a go. Especially if they promised CCJ ruck time when he was recruited.
