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).

    Thanks - where did you source this? And I did mean inside 50s per goal.

    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.

    So it appears, surprise surprise, we dont have enough inside 50s. Gee who would have thought that

    This season thus far, Dustin Fletcher has averaged a mere 2 less disposals a game than Trengove

    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.

    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.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
