I know sometimes far too much can be read into stats, but here are some that I think go towards explaining our current plight.

We are LAST in disposals and handballs, tackles and clearances

Second last in contested possessions - tigers behind us.

Third last in one percenters, with Richmond next and surprisingly at least as a follow on from 2011, Collingwood.

Is we can't get the ball and won't tackle or clear no wonder we are in trouble. I am sure Neeld et al are well aware of this and working on it.

One stat I would be interested in but cannot find is goals per inside 50, which is what prompted me to search stats.......I would suspect that we are pretty well up the ladder on that, but don't know where to find it.

    Is that supposed to be inside 50's per goal? Goals per inside 50's would be less than 0 and a lengthy decimal to boot.

    Could you not just add up our inside 50s and divide by our number of goals?

    Edit: 110 Inside 50s / 31 goals = 3.5484 inside 50s per goal.

    Thanks

    I could do that if I could find the inside 50s, but I also thought that there was a site that had this specifically.

    No, Goals per inside 50 could not be less than 0. It could be (and is ) less than one (31/110= 0.28).

    We presumably feature somewhere in the next ten?!

    Sorry, that's the top 8 in terms of the ladder, not ranked by inside 50/goal ratio. I assume we would be up there as far as 'losing' teams go.

    I used the afl stats pages (http://www.afl.com.a....aspx#page=team) which has improved a bit over the years, then manually crunched the numbers. Be sure to click the More Stats option (to the right of the season, round and match drop-downs) to de/select the stats you dont/do want to see. Note that the maximum of 12 stats displayed is also the default number selected. Therefore you have to start by removing existing stats before you can add your own.

    Second last in contested possessions - tigers behind us.

    Not sure where that's coming from, according to http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/best-laid-plans-20120418-1x7n9.html, we have the highest contested possessions in the league (45.7%) - also, second highest kick:handball ratio, which is why overall possessions are down.

    Do they still have that old "Distance gained per possession" stat? I'd be interested in seeing that.

    Thanks to all who have helped here

    My main poin of interest, at least at this stage, was that our conversion rate, per inside 50, is actually pretty good. Appears to be equal 5th in the competition, which may indicate that our forwards are performing up to par.

    Now were the HBs and the mids to deliver more inside 50s then we may well be in with a chance.

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • 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.
