Creative stat doctoring yields pleasing result

our average points against is 80. That ranks us 10th best defense.

BUT if you can indulge yourself to consider it an anomaly and remove the Eagles game

our average points against is 75

75 x 9 = 675

lowest scores against

Sydney - 659
Freo - 660
Port/WC - 685

so we'd be the third hardest team to score against in the league

 

If only we kept West Coast scoreless!

Well, no, the assumption is if we'd kept West Coast to the same average score as we have kept everyone else. It's an interesting point, I think. Other than one (spectacular) lapse, we've performed a total flip defensively.

 

Sorry, the bye round threw me!

Is this a late acknowledgement of Mark Whatshisname's work ? :-)

Can you do a bit of creative doctoring on our centre clearance stats? We're currently last. Do what you need to do to get us above Richmond.

We smashed Richmond 15 to 6.

Done.

 

I am pretty sure we are right up there for goals- inside 50's

Geelong as a team has only lost 17% of all one-on-one contests, clearly the leaders in the AFL - the Dees are next, losing 22% of contests

If you want to make the stats fairer bit no less pleasing, remove both the "best and worst" outliers.

You can choose whatever mode you want....

I can't say this with confidence, but I think most people will find these jokes are pretty average.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    Captain Max Gawn still has a massive lead in the Demonland Player of the Year Award from Christian Petracca, Kozzy Pickett, Jake Bowey & Clayton Oliver. Your votes please; 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
