I get the general gist, but does anyone here know, and if so can they explain, just what is a 1%er, and how are they measured ??

Very interesting argument from Cameron Rose off 'The Roar' on contested possession stats. Very hard to disagree with him here. Highly overrated stat and too much emphasis placed on stats in general within AFL circles at present. Enjoyed his take on David King as well!

A very worthwhile and interesting read - when it comes to the crunch, THE only stat that matters is our total points vs opponents total points.

Stats can be used to explain a result or a trend (if the game is not over) but goals and wins relate more to particular quality 'strings' of posessions and acts.

These quality strings may or may not relate to the stats generally.

Shorter strings will result in stat increments but if there is no scoreboard effect they have no intrinsic meaning.

I can't stand watching The War Room, I have to hit the 'mute' button.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
