And now for Something Completely Different


Chook

Recommended Posts

I'll be going to the footy today as I'm sure most of you (other than our favourite ankles country member) will too. But today, I thought I'd try something a bit different in my analysis of the game.

Today, I'll be writing down the names and numbers of (and adding or subtracting a score to or from) each player in the following way:

1. -1/-6 points from a player who is responsible for a loss in possession (either through poor skills or by giving away a free kick) which results in the opposition scoring. The point deduction will be equal to the points scored (-1/-6 points for a behind or a goal, respectively).

2. -4 points from a player who is responsible for a loss of possession inside our forward 50. 4 points is the average between 1 point and 6 points. Considering changing this to whatever our scoring average is (ie our total score divided by the number of scoriing shots).

3. +4 points to a player who touches the ball in a passage of play in which the ball leaves our defensive 50. 4 points is the average between 1 point and 6 points. Considering changing this to whatever the opponents' scoring average is (ie their total score divided by the number of scoriing shots).

4. +1/+6 points to a player who touches the ball in a passage of play in which we score.

Any thoughts on this? My reasoning is that since nothing matters in a game of footy other than who scores the most points, whoever does the most/least in this regard is by default the most/least valuable player. Comments will be really really appreciated.I'll post my results, for anyone who's interested, after the game.

Apparently nobody is interested, but it seems I can't tell the difference between Bruce and McDonald and Macdonald, who I didn't even think was playing. Accordingly, probably half the points I gave to Bruce and some of Juniors should have been given to Macdonald. Oops. So, in all, Macdonald may have been one of our best today

You realise Petterd was best on ground, right? Slightly off system much

What should I do to fix it? Petterd was responsible for 1 turnover resulting in Collingwood rebounds in the first quarter, one that cost us a goal in the second quarter, 3 turnovers i50 in the 3rd quarter and totally went missing in the last, according to me.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?
