Increase % KPI

What KPIs should Melb be looking at to being a genuine competitive outfit in 2013 on wards?

I see % as a primary KPI.

Although we only have the one year of date under the Neeld reign to consider, you can see that we still have considerable way to go.

.................%.............PF.............PA

Melb........67.5 .......1580..........2341

Nth(8th)....112.5.......2359.........2097

Syd (1st)...140.........2290........ 1629

Therefore before looking to play finals footy, we have to:

1. Cut the opposition down by 244 points per season, over 22 games, which is 2 goals every game. 1 goal a half seems easy enough!!

2. Increase our scoring by at least 779 points per season, over 22 games, which is 6 goals every game. 2 goals a quarter. Theres a problem?

Some key factors for this improvement could be:

1. Decrease defensive inside 50s Stronger/better midfield increasing around the ground/centre stoppages won

2. Increasing Marks Taken in Forward 50 Recruitment of Dawes, Pederson and a return of Clark. More midfield goals.

In simple terms, we should be looking to score 107 points every game, up from an ave of 72

And keep the opposition score to 95 points every game, down from an ave of 106

To go to the next step and become a genuine premiership contender we really almost need to swap our PF and PA over as shown by syd this year

    I got a bit lost with the figures at first but I subscribe to the logic and agree that it is doeable with our re-vamped list!

    I've got a better KPI.

    Score more points than the opposition on the day, and the points for and against take care of themselves.

    Jezus, I'm going to have to start going to the footy with a calculator.

    How boring lol.

    I agree that we should be looking to score over 100 points per game. the rest of the OP is basically just a roundabout way of saying we need to beat our oposition

    On %, our first 11 games yielded a % of 55.92 whereas the last 11 games % was 80.7.

    Clearly we got better as the year went on and, had we retained Clark, would've been even better IMO.

    I'm expecting quite an improvement this season across the board.

    Given Clark was a massive loss, that's quite a difference.

    just keep winning - the % will look after itself

    By "keep" winning I assume you mean in the Charlie Sheen interpretation of the word.

    no dummy, i mean win as many keeps as possible - like this

    How about we win the midfield, the rest will take care of itself (kindof)

    Talking of stats, an article in today's Age compares Carlton in 2013 with Geelong in 2006. Uses Champion Data stats to claim that Maltouse could take the Blues to a flag, but doesn't go into much detail as to what these stats are. Perhaps the CD stats person is a Carlton fan.

    http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/analysis-finds-blues-similar-to-2006-cats-20130123-2d7hy.html

    At what point will we ba able to take the next step to be a real contender?

    Yeah but how much of this was due to our draw being far easier in the second half of the season as opposed to the first? We played Collingwood, Hawthorn, Geelong at Geelong, WCE in Perth, Sydney in Sydney and Carlton in our first 11 games, while the back half of the year included GWS home and away, Gold Coast at home, Port, and Freo at Etihad.

    For what it's worth, I think we did improve after the mid way point, but relying on statistical analysis is flawed to the draw.

    It's why I don't think the comment "if we win x games, it's a good year" is all that relevant. It all depends on who you play and how you play against them.

    It is a wonderful thing statistics and comparisons. In 2009 (the year we are alleged to have tanked) we won four games and we were ahead in five at the final siren, whereas, last year we only won one game when playing against the same teams (as GWS and the Suns were not there in 2009). This is the stat that we should be quoting in our 'tanking' inquiry and our yardstick when assessing this year's performance against last year's. Frankly I cannot see us having a worse year than last which statistically is possibly our worst ever!

    • AFLW PREVIEW: West Coast

      Epic battle alert.  This Sunday, Casey Fields hosts a coach’s showdown pitting the wits of the master Mick Stinear (92 games, 71.7% win rate) against his protégé Daisy Pearce (16 games, 43.8%). Still early in her coaching journey, Daisy’s record doesn’t yet reflect her impact — but she’s already the best-performed coach at West Coast.Dais’ is mythic.  Like Katniss Everdeen, everyone either wants to kiss her, kill her (sporting metaphor) or be her.  Toothers Daisy Pearce is a role model, someone admired for their heart, humility and humour.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      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.
