Statistical analysis : The Des years.

[Vlasnik]

Happy Birthday Desmond Many happy returns on your 55th Birthday!!!

Des overall stats are consistent

But FMD the team has a habit of throwing 'easy' games away playing like they couldnt give a damn

Penrith Rd 1, Tigers game and Sharks @ Belmore games were horrendous, cost us top4

There has been a noticeable silence from Des and the bulldogs this offseason ,which I like, I'm thinking we will be the quiet achievers this year.

******************************************​

Predictions for 2016, according to my adjustments to the laws of averages.

- Bulldogs will finish 5th/6th
- We'll get 32 points.
- Our record will be 14-10
- We'll score between 470-500 points.
- We'll concede between 410-440 points.
- We will make the GF.
- We will win the comp.

How are we gonna win the GF when these days we're worse than Parra, the Raiders and Warriors. We're lucky the Titans and Tigers are stilling the comp

Here's an interesting fact:

Des has a higher winning percentage currently coaching the Bulldogs, than he did with Manly!

I'd take Manly's two premierships over a higher winning percentage...

I think what frustrates ppl is we have mostly played below our best under des yet made the finals 100% and the gf 50 % of the time hes been coach. Imagine if we played at our best more. We would win the gf in a canter i reckon.

Excellent analysis Captain Kickass, thanks - finishing 6th sounds like us.
The winners come from the Top 4 - thats the modern game.

YES people are frustrated Dognacious - reckon we're addicted to the 'flying under the radar' crap and 'the boys dug deep but got pipped' rut.

We'd have to have set some sort of record for one point wins under Hasler.
Frequently over sides we should have walloped.

Meanwhile Brocos & Cows are playing at another level.
A top 4 spot takes consistency and that we lack and have lacked for a long time.

Hope your right Captain.

we could be a lot worse off of our 5 wins so far this year one was by 1 point, one was by 2 points and another by 6......so 3 wins out of our 5 we scrapped in by a converted try or less
