Between the Lines

I'm just putting this out there as a very basic line by line look at experience between the teams tomorrow for anyone who might be interested.

This may be a one off depending on the response it gets or the lack thereof lol.

Please note that this is the team line ups as named. I'm not expecting the teams to line up exactly in this order obviously. There's so many variables in terms of where they might start, i haven't the time to start guessing and shifting the match ups.

I'd love to include other stats across the lines also and possibly weight them for each position in order to arrive at some sort of comparable 'player rating or ranking' so we can view it pre-match. Stats such as clearances, contested possessions, effective disposals, tackles, contested marks, hit outs to advantage etc. Would take serious time commitment though and not sure how much value it would add, if any, other than for mere curiosity purposes. Then again, we might just find a magic formula for predicting wins/losses and make a fortune lol. Not that i'm condoning betting or anything of that nature :)

The stats below are purely total games played so far for each player and across each line and the differences between us and the our arch enemy. Stats courtesy of footywire.com. Cheers.

Arghh. The table didn't post properly. Oh well. I tried lol. Mods can you delete this thread please. Soz

B)

 

Nah dont delete it, if you take the time to read it, it makes sense.

Very interesting. Shows regardless of the injuries Collingwoods team is still so so far in front of us in terms of experience.

Maybe I'm not so confident in us winning after all..

Interesting comparison. If I read the table correctly, Collingwood have had 1078 more games experience at 49 more games per a player!

Go Dees

I think that's pretty correct. I posted the basic experience stats on the 'pinned' Melb/Coll preview post up the top of the forum which is much more readable. Sorry bout the quality of this. Nothing worse than trying to decipher a mess of stats.

I have an excel/word version if anyone would like me to send them a copy. Just leave your email details via my profile if you'd like and i'll send to you this evening/ASAP.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
