Amazing isn't it considering all the 1st round picks and pp's we were handed....

Those who were in charge must stay right away

Get over it WYL. For your own sanity.

    Last year at this time our percentage was 56, this year it's 67.

    Now, let me explain... 67 is a higher number than 56. That means so far this year we've improved on the same time last year. Do you see how that works?

    And in Mark Neeld's first year(2012) we managed 4 wins at a percentage of 67.5, what do you make of that?

    Haha... Wow. Just when I think you couldn't miss any more obvious points.

    We may be averaging 10 points less so far this year, but we're also restricting out opponents to 40 points less.

    That's why we talk about percentage and not just points for.

    Far out. Special kid you are.

    Who is we, I made the point about 'points for' That is very different to percentage.

    Seriously, you're not that dumb are you.

    Points for means nothing if you're not also taking into consideration points against.

    Yes last year we averaged 66, but our opponents scored 122.

    This year we average 56 (so far), but our opponents average 84.

    Get some context and some understanding of footy, please.

    Great post. Now you're just showing off with your footy understanding...

    Haha.. I make of it that you think Neeld was better than Roos. Which makes you pretty much the worst watcher of footy of all time.

    I also make of it that your comparing a whole season under Neeld to 6 games under Roos. FMD.

    Let me ask: what would you rather? Average points for of 66 with average points against of 120, or average points for of 56 with average points against of 84?

    Don't bother. He either doesn't get it or refuses to.

    Yes I rather the current situation, titan_uranus, I was simply showing Stuie an area that we have not improved on since last year, that being "points for".

    Stuie seems to think we have improved in all areas which simple is not true.

    Yes our percentage is better and the points against is considerably lower, all which I have recognised.

    And still we are 17th on the ladder with a poor percentage, even with a better list than last year.

    Show me exactly where I said that.

    Also, points for is irrelevant if you're not also taking into consideration points against.

    I'd be surprised if Stuie thinks that. I'd be surprised if anyone thinks that. Simply put, we are not improving in all areas.

    We are, though, improving in many areas. Points for is not one of them, but that makes sense given some of the injuries we've had and Roos' statements that the first focus was to tighten up the defence. What we are doing is ensuring that we don't get blown out of the water repeatedly. The strides we've made in stopping sides from doing this are immense and commendable. They have, to date, come at the expense of us kicking big scores. That hasn't stopped us being competitive in 5 of the 6 games so far.

    The team is 1-5.

    I therefore judge them to be in the bottom 2 of teams in the league.

    Unfortunately Titan, it's a bit like asking which would you rather eat...... a faeces sandwich or a vomit smoothie. Neither are palatable.

    Well we can't argue with that, you would be an expert on such matters Moon!

    Watching us last night then watching the Hawks vs the Toigs, good heavens how far away are we? Light years I think particularly given we have made a dogs breakfast of many of our past drafts and trading, not always of our own fault. The talent in the bank is very limited. We have been cruelled by injuries to the likes of Jurrah, Wonna and Clark for example. They had talent but couldnt sustain it.

    Much of that was beyond our control but we have gone past a number of good players and picked duds. Are the latest picks, the right talent, well let us hope.

    The Tiges were horrible. Again.

    I actually think we should, not could, roll them.

    • 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.

    • 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.
