Stat of the round: 103
That's the Grand Canyon-like chasm between the number of points Hawthorn defender Danny Jacobs produced in rounds one and two. Clearly the 5000-odd DT coaches who jumped on the bandwagon last week thought Jacobs was capable of reproducing the heroics of round one, when the big Hawk notched a league-best 150 points. It didn't happen in round two, when he chalked up a miserly 47 points against Melbourne, and it's not going to happen in round three. In fact, it's unlikely that Jacobs will ever see a triple-figure DT score next to his name again.
A spectacular fall from grace, yes, but not the biggest bomb of round two. That honour goes to St Kilda tough-nut Fraser Gehrig, who produced a paltry 41 points after starring with 117 in the first round.
At the opposite end of the scale was Hawks forward Mark Williams, whose tendancy to excel against the Demons' defence saw him rack up 104 points in round two - a massive improvement from the 12 he registered in the season-opener. Another player who improved dramatically on his round one effort was Adelaide's Simon Goodwin, who was good for 4 points first-up but 115 the second time around.
